Multiple infant sleep and lounging products with soft, padded sides

A baby nest or lounger is a soft, portable bed with padded sides made for infants. Parents often use them for supervised rest, tummy time, or play. They are typically found in nurseries, living rooms, or taken on the go for convenience.

What’s the risk?

Baby nests and loungers with soft, padded sides can create a suffocation hazard if an infant rolls over or their face becomes pressed against the sides. Infants are most at risk, especially those who cannot yet roll or reposition themselves. Health Canada notes that similar products have been linked to fatalities in other countries.

What should parents do?

Stop using all baby nests and loungers immediately. Check the official recall list for affected brands and models. Follow Health Canada’s instructions for returning or disposing of the product. Do not use these products for infant sleep or unsupervised rest.

Key takeaways

• Soft-sided baby nests and loungers pose a suffocation risk to infants
• Products sold nationwide in Canada, both in stores and online, are affected
• No injuries reported in Canada, but incidents and fatalities have occurred in the U.S.
