Larex 3-in-1 Bedside Bassinet review
A lab-tested bedside bassinet that adjusts to five heights and works as a standalone crib or attached sleeper.
Quick take
This bassinet is built around a thickened, reinforced aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame and has passed laboratory testing by SGS. It works as a standalone crib or a secure bedside sleeper attached to a parent's bed, with five height settings to match different bed or sofa heights, plus a storage basket, carrying bag, and mosquito net included.
From our own use
This bassinet was relatively easy to assemble, although a drill with the correct hex bit made the process much faster than using the included wrench. Once assembled, the unit felt strong and stable. I also like that the sleeping surface is easy to remove when changing the sheet.

Who it's for
Good fit
- Parents who want a bedside sleeper attached to their own bed
- Anyone needing multiple height settings to match their bed or sofa
- Families who want a lab-tested, sturdy frame for early infant sleep
Skip it if
- You need a bassinet rated above 20 lbs
- You're looking for a standalone crib only, with no bedside-attachment feature
Assembly and daily use
A drill with the correct hex bit speeds up assembly noticeably compared with the included wrench — worth having on hand before starting. The removable sleeping surface makes routine sheet changes far easier than bassinets where the mattress is harder to access, which matters given how often bedding needs washing with a newborn.

- 5 adjustable height settings for bedside use
