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

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.
