However the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents where infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. baby bedside crib of the reported incidents in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes such as bassinets and play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC include a different option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. This attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet.
