360° swivel and a lowering wall for easy bedside reach. It scores strongest on swivels to bedside; the main trade-off is bulky base. A confident bassinet pick for the right shopper.

360° swivel and a lowering wall for easy bedside reach. Here is how the HALO BassiNest Swivel held up against the rest of our bassinets rotation, and where it fits.
On our six-axis scale the HALO BassiNest Swivel averages 8.7/10, with its highest marks for swivels to bedside and firm flat surface. That makes it a dependable everyday bassinet rather than a one-trick option.
Pros that stood out: Swivels to bedside, Firm flat surface. Trade-offs to know about: Bulky base.
Certification: Meets CPSC bassinet std. We weight safety heavily in this category, and the HALO BassiNest Swivel clears the bar; build quality is in line with its $230–$270 price.
If swivels to bedside is your priority, the HALO BassiNest Swivel is an easy recommendation. If bulky base matters more, compare it against the other picks in our best bassinets guide.
What parents tell us most often: swivels to bedside.
