Health Canada has issued a warning about safety risks related to baby nests and loungers.
A baby nest/lounger is a small portable bed for infants with soft, padded sides. Many are marketed as multifunctional products that can be used as a sleep surface, changing pad, or play mat for babies.
However, some of these products are not recommended for use as a sleep surface, as they do not comply with the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA).
This includes the following models:
-
FFQRLP Brand Baby Lounger for 0-24 months by First Island on Amazon.ca;
-
BChic and Chicure model baby nests by Chic Baby;
-
Housbay baby nest by Housbay (official store) on AliExpress.ca;
-
HAPDEN Travel Portable Crib by Men (previously called HAPDEN.CON.X) on Walmart.ca;
-
La Millou Baby Best Nest by Moda Kids;
-
Zoomie Kids and Vevor infant and newborn loungers, nests, sleepers by Vevor;
-
Style Life Eleven Baby Loungers on Wayfair.
Families who own any of the above-mentioned products should stop using them immediately.
Health Canada is not aware of any reports of injuries related to these products in Canada so far. However, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received 45 incident reports involving similar baby nests/loungers between 2021 and 2023, including 29 fatalities.
Health Canada is currently conducting a sampling and evaluation program of these products, and several others may also be withdrawn from the market. Consumers are encouraged to check the list regularly for updates.
The health agency also reminds parents that the safest place for a baby to sleep is alone on a firm, flat surface. (N.P.)
