When folded, the bassinet measures just 6 inches thick and weighs approximately 18 pounds, making it easy to slide under a bed, tuck into a closet, or load into your car trunk. We designed the fold mechanism with parent-friendly ergonomics, so you can collapse and set up the bassinet one-handed while holding baby in your other arm.
Rocking Motion & Soothing Benefits
Our rocking wood bassinet incorporates curved base rails that enable a smooth, gentle rocking motion controlled entirely by you. A light push sets the bassinet in motion, mimicking the natural swaying movement babies experienced in the womb—a sensation that pediatric sleep experts recognize as calming for newborns.
The rocking arc measures approximately 3 inches from peak to peak, providing enough movement to soothe without overstimulating. The solid wood construction ensures the rocking motion stays smooth and quiet, with no squeaking or wobbling that might startle a sleeping infant. When you prefer a stationary bassinet, simply place the included stabilizer wedges under the base rails to lock the unit in place.

Questions About the Carrington Foldaway Rocking Bassinet
Your baby can use the Carrington bassinet from birth until they reach 15 pounds, begin to push up on their hands and knees, or start to roll over—whichever milestone comes first. For most babies, this means approximately 4-5 months of use, though every child develops at their own pace.
Once your baby shows signs of increased mobility, it's time to transition to a crib for safety reasons. The bassinet's mesh sides and compact design are perfect for newborns but aren't suitable for babies who can sit up or move around independently.
The bassinet features an intuitive fold mechanism that most parents master after one or two practice attempts. To fold, you simply release the safety locks on each side of the frame and guide the bassinet inward until it collapses flat—the entire process takes less than 30 seconds with no tools required.
Unfolding is equally straightforward: lift the frame, extend it until you hear the safety locks click into place on both sides, and verify that all connections are secure before placing baby inside. We designed the mechanism to be manageable with one hand, so you can hold your baby or diaper bag in the other arm while setting up the bassinet.
Yes, the Carrington bassinet includes stabilizer wedges that slip under the curved base rails to prevent rocking when you prefer a stationary sleep surface. Many parents use the rocking feature during the day for soothing but lock the bassinet in place overnight for added stability.
The stabilizer wedges store conveniently in a small pocket on the carrying bag, so they're always available whether you're at home or traveling. Switching between rocking and stationary modes takes just seconds and requires no tools or adjustments to the main bassinet structure.
When fully assembled, the Ingenuity Foldaway Rocking Wood Bassinet in Carrington measures approximately 33 inches long, 19 inches wide, and 32 inches tall—a footprint that fits comfortably beside most beds while providing ample sleep space for newborns. The interior sleep surface measures roughly 30 inches by 16 inches.
When folded, the bassinet compresses to approximately 33 inches long, 19 inches wide, and just 6 inches thick, making it easy to store under beds, in closets, or in your car trunk.

Yes, we offer replacement fitted sheets specifically designed for the Ingenuity Foldaway Rocking Wood Bassinet. The bassinet includes one fitted sheet, but we recommend purchasing at least one additional sheet so you always have a clean option ready during nighttime changes or accidents.
Our sheets are made from soft, breathable cotton and feature elastic edges that grip securely to the mattress pad for safety. They're machine washable and tumble dry on low heat for easy care. You can find replacement sheets in our nursery bedding section or by searching for the Ingenuity bassinet sheet SKU compatible with your Carrington model.
The wood frame features a non-toxic, baby-safe finish that meets all current consumer product safety standards for infant furniture. The Carrington stain is water-based and free from harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), lead, and phthalates.
We test all materials used in our bassinets to ensure they're safe for the most vulnerable users. The wood itself is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the finish is fully cured before the bassinet leaves our facility, so there's no off-gassing or chemical smell when you receive your product. You can feel confident placing your newborn in this bassinet from day one.
Yes, replacement mattress pads are available for purchase separately if your original pad becomes worn or damaged over time. The mattress pad cover is removable and machine washable, which handles most stains and spills, but we understand that some parents prefer to replace the entire pad for hygiene reasons or when using the bassinet for a second child.
When ordering a replacement, make sure to specify the Carrington model to ensure proper fit within the bassinet frame. The mattress pad is designed to fit snugly with no gaps around the edges, which is an important safety feature that prevents entrapment hazards.
