BabyBjörn Baby Cradle Review

During the first few months, newborns often experience short and sporadic sleeping schedules. Thankfully, the BabyBjörn Cradle Harmony is swooping in to save the day — to help your little one sleep like…well, a baby! 

The featherlight cradle is a simple and essential product that can help ensure your child gets enough sleep without confining you to one place all day and night.  

With easiy mobility, minimal assembly required, and carefully selected materials that are safe and easy to clean, here are the reasons why buying a BabyBjörn Cradle Harmony is a no-brainer.  

Cradle vs. Bassinet

I bet you’re wondering, what separates a cradle from a bassinet?

The main difference between a cradle and a bassinet is that cradles have a rocking and gliding movement ability that bassinets typically don’t have. While both are excellent options for newborns in their first 6 months, cradles can give you an extra boost by allowing you to rock your baby to sleep with a soothing and gentle motion without physically holding them.

Rocking has been proven to help put infants to sleep more easily and improves their quality of sleep. The light design of the BabyBjörn Cradle makes it incredibly easy to move from room to room, wherever and whenever it’s needed. This lightweight design also means you can achieve a nice and steady rocking movement to lull your baby to sleep with just a touch of a hand. You can even achieve a steady rocking motion with your foot, leaving you handsfree to multitask.

As your little one grows bigger, their own movements can trigger the rocking motion, allowing them to self-soothe.

The solid design also features feet grips at the bottom of the cradle’s legs, so you don’t need to worry about rocking too hard or damaging your floors when moving the cradle around.

Easy Assembly & Great Materials

Putting the cradle together is as simple as it gets!

With only three parts required for assembly — 2 screws and 1 key — that come with the cradle, the BabyBjörn Cradle may very well be the easiest baby equipment you’ve ever had to put together.

Its efficiencies don’t end there! The cradle is intentionally set at a low height and is made from a mesh material so that you can see baby at all times from anywhere in the room.

Special Features

Another stand-out feature of the BabyBjörn Cradle is that it includes a custom-made mattress specifically designed for the cradle that is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. The mattress, its cover, and the mesh cradle fabric are also all removable and machine washable, which is a great time saver when clean-ups are needed.

Final Verdict

Whether it’s keeping an eye on your baby while folding laundry in the living room or having them close to your bedside at night, the BabyBjörn Cradle is a great fit for families with a newborn. The effortless setup, intuitive usage, and easy clean-up capability are ideal for new parents looking for a product to help them with their infant’s ever-changing sleeping schedule.
