In its NPR, the CPSC examined the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside sleepers, like the requirement that they meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at least meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. However the CPSC concluded that such requirements are not feasible or effective to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed.

A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers that can be transformed into other types of equipment, like bassinets or play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets through the use of a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet.

The CPSC is reviewing the comments and other suggestions received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule that is expected to come out in November 2021.
