I have been reading your article on bassinettes https://rednose.org.au/article/bassinettes and noted that this article is from 2016. Has the advice on bassinettes been updated since this time? Thanks, Angelica
Red Nose Education
Product Safety Australia, have not developed mandatory standards for bassinets as yet, but have included “buying tips” to assist parents when they are wanting to use a bassinet.

Red Nose also includes some of this information (updated in 2018)

As a result, our information for bassinets hasn’t been specifically updated, although all our information is reviewed regularly & updated as appropriate.
