If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have caught on to my latest obsession: a hanging baby bassinet. There is just something so airy and perfect about them.
As I look at our master bedroom — where we’d have the bassinet — it just seems to be begging for a bassinet to be hanging from it’s high ceilings.
I find myself searching high and low: completely inspired and discouraged at the same time! I find bassinets that I absolutely love… only to find that
- They are only available in Europe or Australia. Why is everything so much more amazing across the pond?
- They are pins that simply end with an image. No website, no information, no nothing.
- They aren’t available anymore.
- They are a prototype design….not available to little ‘ole me.
- Um…..dollas. dollas. dollas. dollas. dollas. Uftdah.
Of course all of these roadblocks have me thinking perhaps these beautiful bassinets are more to look at…less for use? Perhaps the safety of them is of concern and they are pulled from inventories or never allowed on to the shelves.
So as my dream of having one hanging in our master bedroom gets more dim and faint… I’ll just continue obsessing with photos and pins to my baby board.
Here are some of my favorites! (if you know the source to any of these, please let me know – I was able to hunt down some.)
what do you think? Have any of you used a hanging bassinet for your babe? I don’t know if I’ll have the guts to purchase one without hearing from someone who has actually had one for their babe — would love to hear your thoughts!
Okay..back to the google to see what else I can find!
xo & Happy Friday!
Still time to enter the 4moms breeze playard giveaway!
You and Andy are both talented enough to design one and build one! Just have him out some eye hooks in the ceiling and go for it! It’s not like a toddler will be using it. Just a few month old. You know?

Here is one place you may want to check out hanging bassinets, if you haven’t already.
I know your frustration entirely! I tried to find one to no a avail with MG. Just make one/-you’re crafty enough ;)
it’s frustrating!! And I was telling Andy on our walk home yesterday, that I don’t trust myself to make one :/ and I honestly think I’d stay awake at night afraid it would fall from the ceiling …..:/ but i LOVE HOW THEY LOOK!
I think you should make your own! It can’t be that hard to hang a basket from the ceiling =)
I’m just so NERVOUS! about safety and ALL of that. GAH!!! i seriously am OBSESSED with how they look — and I think we could make one, but I”m too scared!!!
I’m stuck on a baby hammock. And like your problems, they are (1) European, (2)Recalled, or (3) $$$$. But I agree, they are beautiful!!
I would love a 4Moms Breeze because it looks very simple to use and I need this product
