a bed that's good to go

For families on the go, it's all about portability. With the Safe Surround Portable Bassinet, you're always ready for your next adventure.

Going camping - or just having a sleepover at grandmas? You'll sleep easier knowing your little one is cozy and protected in the Safe Surround Portable Bassinet from J. Mason. The award-winning design features eight zippered pouches, a removable mesh canopy and a sleep pad. It also comes with its own handled tote so it goes anywhere, and thanks to some genius on the designer's part, you don't need a Ph.D. in engineering to set it up. Best of all, there are no hinges or folds in the top railing, so there's no possibility of collapse. it's a sturdy, versatile must.

Holds babies up to 22 pounds‹giving it a longer shelf life than many other swings.
