Height

The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents); consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents).

In its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that they satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. However, the CPSC found that these requirements would not be practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances in which infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR included multi-use bedside beds which can be converted to different types of furniture, like play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that is removable. This attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies.

The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside cot mattress. The Commission will be examining these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be published in November of 2021.
