Overview

Description

As part of the Maxi-Cosi Kindred Collection, the Starling Smart Bassinet is made with soft, luxe fabrics and tapered Ash wood legs with specially finished metals.

Suitable for babies up to 20 lbs, the Starling Smart Bassinet provides a cozy mattress pad with a removable, machine-washable cover and the ability to choose between five natural rocking motions—Cradle, Sway, Flutter, Cascade and Zephyr—to comfort little ones.

The bassinet immediately responds to baby’s cry with one of its calming motions to lull them back to sleep, or five soothing sounds through the built-in Bluetooth speaker, all with customizable timers. This product is designed with a firm, flat sleeping surface. Key to its design is the use of EcoCare, premium 100%-recycled fabric made from plastic bottles—the yarn produced is soft, comfortable and breathable.

Powered by Zoundream, CryAssist technology that uses AI to translate baby’s cries, letting you know if they might be sleepy, fussy, gassy, agitated or hungry. By knowing what is bothering baby, you’ll be able to respond to their needs quickly and with confidence. Each of CryAssist’s response-based features are optional, ensuring control is always in your hands. With cries and cry data kept anonymous and encrypted on the cloud, private moments are kept between you and baby.

Pair the bassinet with Maxi-Cosi’s easy-to-use Connected Family app to create “scenes” for little ones. These customized responses make it easier to comfort and monitor your child—from anywhere on your smartphone or tablet.

Faulty technology/ motion functions don’t work
Size and look is ideal and lovely! The technology was faulty from the beginning. Now with a 10 week old, I can’t rely on the motion functions at all. This was not worth the price. We are seeking a replacement or refund.

Quite literally life changing
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This bassinet is beautiful! The materials and fabrics feel so soft and luxurious. My first baby was a very fussy sleeper, never sleeping more than an hour or two at a time for the first couple months. I was hopeful my second baby would be different, but they were the same. So I was very, very excited to get this and had a lot of hope it would make things better. And my gosh, this has literally changed our lives for the entire family! It looks simple and a bit assuming, in a classy way, but is

Now this is a SMART bassinet
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I very graciously received the Maxi Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet in Heritage from Stellar Product Testing Panel. In a world of ever growing technology, who would have ever thought that a bassinet could read the exact rhythm and movement a baby may need to calm/maintain a resting stat. This one does it exceptionally well. It was the EASIEST to put together and all it took was a few snaps of the legs and it was ready to rock and roll. Aesthetically, it is truly gorgeous. It is wild to me that

Maxi Cosi is a GameChanger
This review was collected as part of a promotion
We’ve been using the Maxi-Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet for a few weeks now, and I am absolutely impressed with both the design and functionality. We received it as part is a Stellar testing panel.The sleek, modern aesthetic blends perfectly with our nursery, and the soft fabrics give it a premium, comfortable feel. It’s the kind of bassinet you’d be excited to show off, but even better—it's practical.

The **5 natural motions** are a game-changer when it comes to comfort. Whether it's the

Beautiful Smart Bassinet
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I was super excited to receive this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel as I had been using an older, more basic bassinet for my baby and I was ready for a change.
Without a doubt, this bassinet is beautiful and attractive. Baby products are often not an added bonus to a room's aesthetic, but this one truly is. The materials are of premium quality and I'm sure this piece will last for years and years. I love how the main fabric is sheer so that the baby can look out (and

Beautiful and Smart
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received the Maxi-Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I appreciate how simple Maxi-Cosi made the assembly of this item, I just popped all 4 legs in place and it was ready to go! This bassinet has many smart features, including some that others on the market do not. What really stood out to me is that there are 5 different motions you can choose from with 3 speeds, while others have 1 motion with variable speed. At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt that this

Bassinet of a whole different level
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I couldn't be happier (as well as my baby boy!!). For the past 10 years my wife and I had kids. We've always dreamed of having a smart bassinet that would help us out just a little. So when we found out that our favorite brand Maxi Cosi was about to release the Maxi Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet we couldn't wait to try it with our fourth and last child. The elegance and modern design is astonishing to us both. We love the

The best smart bassinet for your money
This review was collected as part of a promotion
As a member of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I got to put this bassinet through the test so that you can make your purchase with confidence!

As a mom of 2 under 2, a bassinet is a must-have for all new babies. I’ve used 2 smart bassinets before trying the Maxi-Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet and I honestly have to say this one is the best. The price for this bassinet is more affordable, yet has a lot more bells and whistles than the others I’ve used. Not only does it have the basic

Functional and Trendy Smart Bassinet
This review was collected as part of a promotion
As a parent who has experience with both the Maxi-Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet and the other high-end smart bassinet on the market, I can confidently say that the Starling has a lot to offer—especially at its price point.

Height & Ergonomics
One of the first things I noticed about the Starling is that it is noticeably taller than my other bassinet, which has been a game-changer for my back. With my previous bassinet, I found myself constantly bending over to pick up and put down my

MaxiCosi Put Magic Into This Bassinet
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I would give this bassinet a million stars if I could. I received the Maxi-Cosi Starling Smart Bassinet as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it has changed my life. I'm not joking! My daughter is 11 weeks old and we have been struggling with nighttime sleep since day one. We have tried so many products, routines, and "hacks" to get her to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. Night one of trying this bassinet and she slept for 8 hours in a row. Yes, you read that right. EIGHT hours!
