babybay was born with a simple mission in mind: to keep your baby safe and close all night long. While giving you the kind of all-natural, non-toxic quality that was near-impossible to find with any other co sleeper or baby bassinet on the market.
So you can calm your little one, comfort your little one, and feed your little one without getting out of bed or reaching over bars. While having full peace of mind throughout the night and all through the day.
Your babybay bedside sleeper helps you rest comfortably through the night, while your little one sleeps right alongside you.
For mothers who have just had a C-section, your bedside sleeper offers the relief of not having to get in and out of bed to care for your baby. While still giving you the freedom to care for and comfort them through every hour.
With the standalone bassinet conversion kit and locking wheels, your baby can go where you go. To happily nap in their safe space, from the bedroom to the living room.
Better bonding. More restful nights of sleep. More moments spent skin-to-skin (to ease your separation anxiety and theirs). There are many well-studied and long-loved benefits of co sleeping.
But sharing a bed with your baby can expose them to the risks of stray pillows, comforters, and other soft materials.
The babybay offers a safe, secure alternative to co sleeping. That gives all the benefits, without the risks. Certified by some of the strictest safety certification organizations out there, and artfully designed to give your baby a separate safe space. That just so happens to be only an arm's reach away from you.
This style guide will help you know if your chosen babybay model will fit your bed.

All babybay bedside sleepers (as well as the conversion kits that turn them into a standalone baby bassinet) are made of 100% European beechwood, sourced ethically.
Non-toxic should be the norm. And we stand by that.
We never use chemical glues or toxic finishes. All of our finishes are water-based, and made specifically for children's furniture. They have no to low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) counts. Because you and your family deserve the best: always.
Our mattress pads are primarily made from CFC-free polyurethane foam. Our sheets are primarily made from pure, soft, and comforting cotton.
All babybay products are made without any chemicals of flame retardants, and have no detectable VOC off-gassing. (Meaning less chemicals, more love ❤️)
Because of the high quality of the natural wood that is used to craft your babybay, it can support up to 200 lbs.
(Compare this to the 20 or so pounds that most other baby bassinets and co sleepers can support with all their flimsy plastic parts.)
Your baby will be most comfortable (and most safe) if they have a perfectly fit mattress along with a perfectly fit set of sheets.
All babybay mattresses and sheet sets are designed to fit like a dream into the unique shape of your bedside sleeper. That's why we recommend that you always use them to complete your sleeper and baby bassinet set.
Preorder items are not in stock currently, but coming back in stock soon. Inline with our environmentally conscious moral compass, your order will be shipped when all items are in stock. Thank you for understanding.
The ONLY Eco-Friendly Bedside Sleeper on the market. You want the best for your newborn. That’s why babybay offers an all-natural bedside sleeper made from solid wood — with no toxic wood glues, cheap fillers, plastics, or other harmful chemicals.
Our bedside sleepers are handcrafted in Germany out of locally sourced beech wood, which is naturally antibacterial and anti-static.
The specially designed bassinet connects to the side of the parents’ bed, allowing the infant to sleep safely next to their parents.

Our US mattress pads are made of CFC-free polyurethane foam which along with every other product we offer is Oeko-Tex Class 1 for babies (12.0.03346). We do not use any chemicals or flame retardants: they are illegal in California. Additionally we have no detectable VOCs off gassing. We do not have Greenguard as it’s services are largely based on testing inexpensive products made from OSB / particle board products and we use high quality German Made Beechwood which is held to European TUV standards.
The Classic Mattress Pad is made from CFC-free polyurethane foam. It’s cover is made from 100% Cotton with a polyester backer.

Babybays only have a few basic ingredients:
- 100% natural beechwood
- Water based wood glue
- Water based finishes (Untreated babybay has no finish)
- Metal hardware: contains no heavy metals such as lead or cadmium
- We NEVER use medium-density fiberboard (MDF), fillers or artificial materials.
- Non-Toxic: All components (every part of the babybay) are ASTM F963 and EN 717-1 compliant
Our finishes are all water-based and are specific for use on children’s furniture. Our finishes are tested to the highest standards in Europe and the US for harmful chemicals or substances. Our finishes have no or low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). We receive the best safety ratings given to baby products.
Babybays are tested for use up to approximately 5 months of age or until the baby pushes up as part of the Bedside Sleeper safety standards set by ASTM F2906, F2194 and the CPSC. While in Europe similar models are used for up to a year, the US offers no such testing or endorsement.

No! US babybays are specifically designed to meet US safety standards. US babybays have little to no part compatibility with babybays designed for the EU market.
No! It is illegal to import EU babybays for sale or for personal use into the US per 16 CFR 1218 and 16 CFR 1222. European babybays do not meet US safety standards and are considered unsafe in the Us. We do not provide support for EU babybays or EU babybay parts or accessories. Only purchase babybays from authorized US babybay dealers. If you find an EU babybay for sale, DO NOT BUY IT.
There are two very easy ways to identify a US babybay:
- All US babybays are sold with a solid ˜6” wooden barrier on the open side of the babybay.
- EU models do not have a safety barrier.
- All US babybays have very conspicuous Warning Labels on the sleeping platform.
- EU model babybays do not have Warning Labels.
US Babybays can be identified by their dimensions and labels:
- Original: 34.5” Wide x 18” Deep x 31” Tall
- SKU: 107100, 107102
- Maxi: 37.8” Wide x 21.25” Deep x 31” Tall

DO NOT USE IT!
EU babybays lack several safety features required by the US which are critical to your baby’s wellbeing. The safety features are integral to the US babybay design and are not compatible with EU models.
No other brand mattresses, sheets or accessories can be used safely with any babybay model.
The current babybays may look similar to the babybay Pre-2020 model, however there are significant differences in design. Some mattresses and accessories should never be used with the babybay Pre-2020 model.
However, some products are compatible with the babybay Pre-2020 model:
- Items which specifically state they are made for the babybay Pre-2020 model
- Sheets made for the Maxi and Maxi Tall
- Rolling Casters
- Canopies and Canopy Holders
- Replacement metal parts (replacement screws, barrel assembly kits, etc.)
- Resistance plates ( Not the Bedframe Anchors)
We try out hardest to make babybay available to everyone no matter where they are located. We have even shipped a babybay to a a lighthouse on a volcanic Island. Customers are responsible for any applicable fees, tariffs or taxes.
Unfortunately, the kits will only work on the Original, Maxi and Maxi Tall. The babybay Pre-2020 Model is not compatible with the Crib / Playpen conversion.
Internationally, the babybay is used as a bench, play desk, changing table, and other innovative uses such as a dog bed!
There is even a high-chair conversion kit and a toddler bed extension.
However, in the US the product is not safety certified for these uses yet. We are working hard with the manufacturer to bring these features to the US under CPSC guidance compliance. Although we see posts of parents using it to this capacity in the US, the CPSC and manufacturer do not recommend it and are not liable for such continued use.
At babybay, safety is our top priority. We prioritize building trust with parents and partners by fostering transparency and confidence in our company and products. Each of our products undergoes rigorous testing to meet the highest standards. The babybay Bedside Sleeper is certified by ASTM, TÜV, and Confidence in Textiles (Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 for babies). For products regulated by CFRs, compliance with applicable ASTM standards is ensured. Manufactured in Germany, our babybays adhere to both US and EU safety regulations. Our water-based finishes undergo thorough testing to prevent the migration of heavy metals and harmful elements, including aluminum, antimony, and arsenic. Though Greenguard certification is not carried, we maintain stringent standards with our premium German-made beechwood, meeting European quality and safety standards. While specific test results are typically confidential, rest assured that our products meet the latest ASTM requirements, with regulatory bodies having access to testing data upon request.
We sustainably resource all beechwood used by replanting every tree that is harvested. We also use high efficiency production methods and best practices to ensure we utilize the maximum amount of beechwood.
Untreated – Use a clean damp cloth. Due to the porous nature of untreated wood, avoid using chemicals. Light stains may be removed with a fine grit sandpaper.
Colored Finishes – Use a clean damp cloth. If you must use a detergent, use a mild baby friendly soap.
We recommend hand washing in cold and then hang drying it in a dry place. Preferably by a window, as sunlight can help kill bacteria.
