Halo BassiNest Soothing Swivel Sleeper 3.0 vs Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 Bassinet

The Halo BassiNest Soothing 3.0 is the better pick for parents who want the baby right against the bed: it swivels 360°, has a lowering wall, and adds vibration, four sounds and a nightlight. The Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 wins on range and longevity, with a higher weight limit, a built-in changing station and a portable mode that carries the baby through the room. Build quality is solid on both, and owners of each praise the mesh sides and easy bedside access; the Halo draws more praise for soothing features, the Chicco for how long it stays useful.

  • Choose the Halo BassiNest Soothing 3.0 if you want the sleep surface to swivel over your bed with a drop-down wall, built-in vibration and sounds, and a portable nest for daytime naps.
  • Choose the Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 if you want one bedside sleeper that also gives you a changing station, wheels and a higher weight limit so it lasts well past the newborn stage.

What reviewers say

Halo BassiNest Soothing Swivel Sleeper 3.0

  • 4.7 / 586 ratings

Owners rate it highly, at 4.7 out of 5 from 86 ratings. They praise the swivel and lowering wall for night feeds and the soothing sounds for settling the baby. Complaints center on battery use and the short usable life.

What people mention
  • SwivelPraisedOwners like pulling the nest over the bed for night checks and feeds.
  • Lowering wallPraisedParents say the drop side makes lifting the baby out easy without getting up.
  • Soothing soundsPraisedThe four sounds and two vibration levels help babies fall asleep.
  • BatteryCriticisedSoothing runs on 3 AA batteries, and owners say they need replacing often.

Chicco Close to You 3-in-1 Bassinet

Owners of Chicco bedside bassinets generally like the close-to-bed positioning and the mesh sides for checking on the baby at night. The 3-in-1 changer gets mixed marks: handy in a small room, but it adds bulk and the storage caddy costs extra.

What people mention
  • Bedside fitPraisedOwners say the adjustable height lets the bassinet sit level with the bed for night feeding.
  • Mesh sidesPraisedParents like being able to see the baby through the mesh and expect good airflow.
  • SizeCriticisedThe 33.5 by 28 inch footprint takes up real floor space next to the bed.
  • StorageCriticisedThe diaper caddy is optional and extra, so buyers pay more for storage.

Questions and answers

Which is better for bedside sleeping in the first months?
The Halo. Its 360° swivel and lowering wall put the baby directly over the mattress, and the vibration and sounds help with settling. The Chicco also sits at the bedside but does not swivel.
Which lasts longer?
The Chicco. It holds up to 35 lbs against the Halo's 20 lbs, and the Halo is rated to about 5 months. The Chicco's changing station and wheels also keep it useful as the baby grows.
Is the Chicco worth stepping up to over the Halo?
If you want one product to cover sleep, changing and moving around the house, yes. If your priority is the closest possible bedside access with soothing features, the Halo does that better.
Does the Halo have a changing station?
No. It has a removable storage caddy but no changer. The Chicco has a built-in changing station.
Do either have breathable sides?
Both use mesh. The Halo has 100% breathable mesh walls on all sides; the Chicco uses soft mesh sides. The Chicco is also GREENGUARD Gold certified.
Can I move them around the house?
The Halo's sleep space lifts out as a 10 lb portable nest. The Chicco rolls on locking wheels and works as a portable sleeper.
