Abstract: A bassinet for supporting an infant and providing clear lines of sight for a caregiver through the walls of the bassinet basket. The bassinet basket rocks about a single axis with respect to the frame of the bassinet. The bassinet basket is formed substantially of a mesh material that allows visual observation of the interior of the bassinet basket. The bassinet basket includes an infant insert that suspends a padded region between a top and bottom of the bassinet basket and forms a storage compartment under the infant insert. The frame of the bassinet is height adjustable. The bassinet also includes a control panel for various electrical features and elements of the bassinet.
