What is the CHOICE Expert Rating

CHOICE Expert rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Good points

• The feet bars can be repositioned to enable sideways rocking.
• Foldable.

Bad points

• Serious safety failure: The supplied mattress is insufficiently firm at particular puffed areas, a suffocation risk if a baby rolls face first into them.
