Quick answer
Set up your BassiNest Connected Swivel Sleeper 3.0 by attaching it securely to your bed frame, then use the HALO Sleep app to configure AutoSoothe settings that respond to your baby's cries with gentle rocking, vibration, and sounds.
Why choose a smart bedside bassinet
A bedside bassinet keeps your newborn within arm's reach during the night, making feeding and comforting easier without fully waking up. The BassiNest Connected Swivel Sleeper 3.0 adds smart features that can help soothe your baby back to sleep automatically, which may mean more rest for you during those early weeks.
What you need before you start
Before assembly, make sure your bed frame can support the bassinet's attachment system. The BassiNest 3.0 works with most bed frames, but check that the underside is accessible for the clamp. You will also need a smartphone to download the HALO Sleep app for setting up AutoSoothe and customizing soothing combinations.
Step-by-step setup and use guide
- Attach the bassinet to your bed: Slide the base of the BassiNest under your mattress and secure the clamp to your bed frame. Tighten the knob until the bassinet feels stable. Make sure the mattress is not lifted or misaligned. Common mistake: overtightening can damage the frame; just snug is enough.
- Adjust the height and swivel range: Use the height adjustment lever to align the bassinet's top edge with the top of your mattress. Set the swivel lock so the bassinet rotates toward you but stays clear of walls or furniture. Check that the swivel does not hit a nightstand or wall before locking the range.
- Download and connect the HALO Sleep app: Install the HALO Sleep app on your smartphone and follow the pairing instructions. The app will guide you through connecting to the bassinet via Bluetooth and setting up your preferences for rocking, vibration, and sounds. If pairing fails, move your phone closer to the bassinet and ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
- Configure AutoSoothe settings: In the app, choose which soothing actions you want the bassinet to use when it detects crying. You can select rocking, vibration, calming sounds, or a combination. Adjust the sensitivity level so it responds to real fussing but not background noise. Start with a lower sensitivity and increase only if the bassinet misses your baby's cues.
- Place your baby safely in the bassinet: Always place your baby on their back on a firm, flat mattress with no loose bedding, pillows, or toys. The BassiNest 3.0 meets safe sleep standards, but you must follow the same safe sleep guidelines as with any crib. Never add extra padding or positioners; the mattress is designed for safety as is.
- Test the swivel and lowering side: Practice lowering the side wall of the bassinet with one hand so you can reach your baby easily during the night. Make sure the side clicks back up securely after each use. Always raise the side fully before walking away to prevent accidental falls.
