What’s new with the Alfie² (and what to look for in a bedside bassinet)

There’s nothing like those first weeks at home with your newborn. From late-night feeds to snuggly naps, having your baby close by makes everything easier (and a whole lot calmer). 

That’s why we created the Alfie Bedside Bassinet. And after selling out three times, we’re so excited to introduce the Alfie² - with even more features to love! Thoughtfully designed for modern parents, the Alfie² Bedside Bassinet keeps baby in arm’s reach from the very first night, with parent-sensed designed to make those early months simpler, safer and more comfortable for the whole family. 

When choosing a bedside bassinet, here’s what really matters: 

A bedside bassinet (also known as a co-sleeper) keeps your baby close while providing them with their own safe sleep space, perfect for the first 4-6 months. While a baby can sleep in the cot from day one, many parents like that a bassinet allows you to easily reach your baby for feeds and cuddles, settle them quickly without getting out of bed, and sleep more soundly knowing they’re right by your side. These are the features to look for: 

  1. Safer sleep design 
    Look for a bassinet with a firm, comfortable mattress that complies with Australia’s latest safety standards.

  2. Adjustability  
    Multiple height settings ensure the bassinet lines up perfectly with your bed.

  3. Portability  
    Lockable wheels make it easy to move baby from room to room while staying close.

  4. Practical extras  
    Features like insect nets, lockable wheels, and storage or travel bags make daily life easier. Even more importantly, check if they are included (like the Alfie²) or whether they are a separate purchase.   

In short, will the bassinet make your life easier in those early months when you need it most? The Babyrest Alfie² Bedside Bassinet was designed with all of this in mind, because early parenthood is demanding enough without wrestling with a clunky, impractical bassinet!


The Alfie² now has even more features to love

Meet the Alfie²: Function meets style 

The Alfie² Bedside Bassinet combines minimalist design with maximum functionality: 

  • Safer Sleep tested mattress technology 
    Our commitment to safer sleep doesn’t stop with Australia’s highest certified cot mattress, the DuoCore; we’ve brought some of the innovative mattress technology into the bassinet as well! You can rest assured it has been tested to the highest standards for Firmness, CO2 Rebreathing, while offering comfort and even has a washable, removable cover.

  • Drop-down side  
    Switch to co-sleeper mode for easy access during the night.

  • 5 Adjustable heights  
    Seamlessly lines up with your bed height.

  • Breathable mesh sides 
    All-round mesh for airflow and visibility - really important that baby can breathe through the sides if they roll around. 

  • Lockable wheels  
    Designed to move with you, you can keep baby close while you cook, fold laundry, or relax in the lounge.

  • Clever storage  
    Parent-sensed design means easy access to nappies, wipes, dummies or toys with a storage tray underneath.

  • Straps to bed  
    For added security and peace of mind, the Alfie² can be strapped to your bed.

  • Included insect net  
    Keeps baby safe from mozzies, flies and other insects… not to mention curious toddlers or pets!

  • Sleek, elegant design  
    Lightweight, compact, and never bulky, so it complements any nursery or bedroom.

  • Storage-friendly  
    Compact fold with a complementary storage bag. 

As parents ourselves, each feature is designed with real life in mind. Intuitive design, ease of use and clever details make all the difference when you’re running on fumes.
