Red Nose says... "REMEMBER: it is important to transfer baby from a bassinet to a cot as soon as they show signs that they might start rolling soon." I cant find an explanation as to why, can you please advise the reasoning behind this statement. Thank you

Red Nose Education

Once baby is rolling, they need arms free (no longer swaddled/wrapped) & the space of a cot to roll safely.
There is risk to baby who is rolling (or trying to pull up on sides) of falls or getting stuck in an unsafe position in a bassinet.
