Premium Bedside Bassinet for Safe Room-Sharing Newborns: The Maxi-Cosi Iora Bedside Bassinet brings comfort, safety, and sophistication to your nursery, designed for parents who want their baby close during those precious first months. With adjustable height and proximity controls, the Iora customizes to fit your bed frame and lifestyle. Whether for nighttime nursing, quick 3 a.m. diaper changes, or the peace of mind of room-sharing without bed-sharing, the Iora provides a secure, independent sleeping space engineered to meet Consumer Product Safety Commission safe sleep guidelines. The foldable design means you can bring your baby's familiar sleep environment to grandma's house, hotel rooms, or weekend getaways.
How the Maxi-Cosi Iora Bedside Bassinet Works
The Iora adjusts through four distinct height positions to match standard platform beds, adjustable beds, and traditional frame beds. Three slide positions let you bring the bassinet closer for nighttime check-ins and feeding, or push it slightly away when you need space. The firm, flat mattress—engineered to meet CPSC safe sleep standards—stays protected under the bassinet's breathable mesh sides, which promote air circulation while keeping your newborn visible and within arm's reach throughout the night. The large under-bassinet storage basket holds diapers, wipes, pajamas, and other essentials so you never scramble in the dark. When travel calls, the entire bassinet folds flat in under a minute and packs into an included carry bag.

When You Need the Maxi-Cosi Iora
Perfect for newborns through age 6 months (or until your baby reaches 20 lbs or can push up on hands and knees, whichever comes first). Ideal for parents practicing safe room-sharing, frequent nighttime feedings, and quick diaper changes without leaving your bedroom. The adjustable design and travel portability make it equally useful for grandparent stays, hotel visits, and families who move between homes. The Iora delivers the closeness of co-sleeping with the safety and independence of a dedicated sleep surface.
Safety & Quality Standards
Engineered by Maxi-Cosi with over 25 years of expertise in child sleep and travel safety. The Iora is designed with a firm, flat sleeping surface that meets Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines for safe infant sleep. EcoCare fabric prioritizes your baby's health while breathable mesh sides reduce suffocation risks. The secure height and slide lock mechanisms prevent accidental shifting during the night. Always ensure both sides of the height adjust are locked at the same level before placing your baby down. Never add soft bedding, pillows, comforters, or extra padding—use only the mattress provided by the manufacturer. Always place your baby on their back to sleep. Do not use this product when your infant begins to push up on hands and knees or has reached 20 lbs (9.1 kg), whichever comes first. Consult the user guide for proper assembly and setup specific to your bed frame.

Maxi-Cosi Iora Bedside Bassinet FAQs
What's Included & Setup
What comes in the box with the Iora? The Iora includes the bassinet frame, breathable mesh insert, firm mattress with removable machine-washable cover, under-bassinet storage basket, carry bag, assembly instructions, and user guide. Everything you need to get started is included—no additional purchases required for basic use.
How long does assembly take? Initial assembly takes approximately 10-15 minutes. The frame comes partially assembled, and you'll attach the mesh sides, mattress, and storage basket using click-and-lock mechanisms. No tools are required. Subsequent folds and unfolds take just a few minutes once you're familiar with the process.
Do I need any tools to assemble the Iora? No. The Iora uses click-and-lock mechanisms and push-button fasteners. No screwdrivers, wrenches, or other tools are required. Adult assembly is recommended for safety.
Safety & Sleep Standards
Does the Iora meet safe sleep guidelines? Yes. The Maxi-Cosi Iora is designed with a firm, flat sleeping surface that meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommendations for safe infant sleep. The breathable mesh sides promote air circulation while reducing suffocation risks. Always place your baby on their back to sleep to further reduce the risk of SIDS.
Can I add blankets, pillows, or padding to the Iora mattress? No. Never add soft bedding, blankets, pillows, comforters, bumpers, or extra padding to the bassinet. These items increase suffocation risk. Use only the firm mattress provided by Maxi-Cosi. If you need an additional sheet, purchase a replacement mattress and cover from Maxi-Cosi designed specifically for the Iora's dimensions (19.75" W x 32.25" L).
When should I stop using the Iora? Stop using the Iora when your baby reaches 20 lbs (9.1 kg) or begins to push up on their hands and knees, whichever comes first. This is typically around 6 months of age. Continuing use beyond this point creates a fall hazard.
Is the Iora safe for co-sleeping? The Iora is designed to support safe room-sharing—your baby sleeps in a separate, dedicated space but inches from your bed. This arrangement provides the closeness and convenience of co-sleeping while maintaining the safety benefits of independent sleep. It is not designed for bed-sharing (baby sleeping in an adult bed).
Height & Proximity Adjustment
What are the four height positions? The Iora adjusts to 32", 33", 34", and 35" high to accommodate different bed types. Standard bed heights range from 24-28" (platform beds) to 30-36" (adjustable and raised frame beds). Choose the height position that allows the bassinet mattress to sit level with or slightly lower than your bed surface.
How do I adjust the height? To adjust height, unlock the height pins on both sides of the frame, move the basket assembly to your desired height position, and ensure both sides lock securely at the same level. Always verify both sides are locked and level before placing your baby in the bassinet.
What are the slide positions for? The three slide positions allow you to adjust how close or far the bassinet sits from your bedside. Slide it closer for easy nighttime feeding and diaper changes, or slide it back when you need more space. Each position locks securely in place.
Can I adjust height or proximity while baby is sleeping? No. Never adjust the height or slide position while your baby is in the bassinet. Always remove your baby first, adjust the position, ensure all locks are secure at the same level on both sides, and then place your baby back down.
Portability & Travel
Does the Iora fold for travel? Yes. The Iora folds flat to dimensions of 22" W x 35.5" L x 7" H in under a minute. The included carry bag measures 22" W x 42" L x 7.25" H. The folded bassinet and carry bag fit in most car trunks and closets.
Can I take the Iora on airplanes? The Iora itself is not approved for airplane use, but you can pack it in the carry bag and check it as baggage or bring it as a personal item (depending on airline policies and bag dimensions). Many families use it at their destination for hotel stays or family visits.
How much does the Iora weigh? The fully assembled Iora weighs 24 lbs. This makes it heavier than a traditional bassinet but lightweight enough for one person to lift and carry with the included carry bag.
Fabric, Colors & Care
What is EcoCare fabric? EcoCare is Maxi-Cosi's premium, eco-friendly fabric made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. It is soft, breathable, comfortable for newborns, and does not contain added fire retardant chemicals. It is available in six sophisticated colors: Classic Truffle, Oat, Green, Graphite, Slate, and Latte.
What color should I choose? All six EcoCare colors are durable and fade-resistant. Choose based on your nursery décor: Truffle and Slate are dark neutrals, Graphite is modern gray, Oat and Latte are warm neutrals, and Green adds a subtle natural tone. All colors match standard nursery palettes.
How do I clean the Iora? Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild soap. The mattress pad cover and carry bag are machine washable on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F). Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Air dry after washing.
Can I wash the entire fabric interior? The interior fabric can be hand washed with lukewarm water and mild soap, or spot cleaned. Avoid submerging the frame. The removable mattress pad cover is machine washable for easy cleanup of spills and accidents.
Are replacement mattress covers available? Yes. Maxi-Cosi sells replacement mattress and cover sets (model BT079-MM, sold separately) if you need extras for frequent washing or spills. The replacement set includes both the mattress and cover.
Storage & Organization
What is the storage basket for? The large under-bassinet storage basket holds nighttime essentials like diapers, wipes, pajamas, swaddles, and extra mattress covers. This keeps everything within arm's reach during middle-of-the-night caregiving, so you never have to leave your baby to search for supplies.
How much weight can the storage basket hold? The storage basket is designed for lightweight items only (diapers, wipes, small blankets, pajamas). Do not place heavy objects or toys in the basket, as this could affect the bassinet's balance and stability. The distance from the basket to the floor is 8".
Is the storage basket removable? Yes, the storage basket can be removed for cleaning or if you need additional space. Ensure the bassinet is stable and on a flat surface before removing or re-attaching the basket.
Mattress & Comfort
Is the mattress firm enough for safe sleep? Yes. The Iora mattress is engineered to be firm and flat, meeting CPSC safe sleep standards. A firm mattress is essential for reducing SIDS risk and preventing suffocation hazards.
Can I use a different mattress with the Iora? No. Use only the Maxi-Cosi mattress provided with the bassinet. Alternative mattresses may not fit properly (the Iora mattress is 19.75" W x 32.25" L x 1" thick), may be too soft, or may create gaps that pose suffocation or entrapment hazards.
Is the mattress comfortable for newborns? The firm mattress is specifically designed for newborn comfort and safety. Newborns do not need soft, cushioned surfaces—a firm, supportive mattress reduces SIDS risk and supports healthy spinal development.
How often should I rotate or flip the mattress? The Iora mattress is designed to be used on one side only and should not be flipped. You do not need to rotate it regularly. Simply ensure the mattress pad cover is kept clean by spot cleaning or washing as needed.
Compatibility & Fit
Will the Iora fit my bed? The Iora is designed for standard beds with heights ranging from low platform beds to adjustable beds. The four height adjustment positions (32", 33", 34", 35") accommodate most bed types. Measure your bed height before purchase to confirm compatibility. If your bed is exceptionally high or low, contact Maxi-Cosi's customer service at (800) 951-4113.
Can I use the Iora on a bed with rails or a headboard? The Iora slides into position next to your bed using the three slide positions. If your bed has a headboard or footboard, ensure the Iora can be positioned safely without interference. Test the positioning before placing your baby in the bassinet. The assembled bassinet measures 26" W x 38.5" L x 36" H.
Is the Iora stable on all floor types? The Iora has stabilizing feet designed for use on flat, level surfaces like hardwood, tile, or carpet. Ensure your bedroom floor is level before using. Do not place the Iora on uneven surfaces, tilted floors, or furniture that could tip.
Product Support & Warranty
What does the Maxi-Cosi warranty cover? The Maxi-Cosi Iora comes with a limited product warranty from the date of purchase. For specific warranty details and coverage, contact Maxi-Cosi Customer Care at (800) 951-4113 or visit www.maxi-cosi.com.
What if parts are missing or damaged? If you discover missing or damaged parts after delivery, do not return the product to the store. Contact Maxi-Cosi Consumer Care at (800) 951-4113 or visit www.maxi-cosi.com to request replacement parts and instructional literature at no charge.
Where can I find assembly instructions? Assembly instructions are included with your Iora in multiple languages. You can also download the user guide from Maxi-Cosi's website (www.maxi-cosi.com) or contact customer care for a replacement copy.
Is there a customer service number I can call? Yes. Contact Maxi-Cosi Consumer Care at (800) 951-4113. They can answer questions about assembly, safety, missing parts, warranty coverage, and product care. Visit www.maxi-cosi.com for additional support options.
Comparison & Alternatives
How does the Iora compare to traditional bassinets? Traditional bassinets typically remain stationary and must be moved to different rooms. The Iora's bedside design keeps your baby inches away during sleep, reducing nighttime movement and providing the convenience of room-sharing. Its foldable design and carry bag also offer portability that traditional bassinets lack.
Is the Iora better than bed-sharing? Yes. The Iora allows room-sharing without bed-sharing, which the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends for safe sleep. It provides physical closeness and easy nighttime access while maintaining a separate, dedicated sleep surface that reduces SIDS and suffocation risks.
Can the Iora replace a crib? The Iora is designed for newborns and infants up to 20 lbs (approximately 6 months). Once your baby outgrows the Iora, you will need a full-size crib or toddler bed for continued safe sleep.
