In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these products 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 a bedside sleeper and an adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into other modes such as play yards and bassinets. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule which is expected to be released in November 2021.
