(More customer reviews)I was so excited about the Argington Bam Bassinet and Crib set because it is versatile, supposedly eco-friendly and beautiful. However, I do have some serious complaints relating to health and safety.
One issue is the strong chemical smell that comes from the packaging. It was overwhelming and didn't seem healthy for me as a pregnant woman to be breathing in. I emailed Argington and this was their response: "As for the chemical smell is completely normal. The packaging makes it seem like there is a toxic odor from the furniture item, but once the furniture is removed from the packaging, and let to air out properly, there should be no issue whatsoever." I found this response dissatisfying especially for a company who touts their eco-friendliness. But this is the least of my concerns at this point.
My biggest concern about the set is the safety of the bassinet mattress. It does not properly fit the bassinet frame, and this is a safety hazard because a baby can become trapped between the frame and the mattress. See the CPSC standards: [...]. It slips and slides around with about an inch or two of give. I sent this video to Argington, [...], and they said because I washed and dried the sheets, the shrunken sheets made the foam mattress scrunch up. Then I sent them this, [...], to show them that the foam mattress is cut too small for the bassinet. They then sent me another mattress, pad and sheet set. As I expected, the new unwashed set did not properly fit the bassinet either, see here: [...]. At this point, Argington told me that I had to deal with the issue directly with Amazon.
I was truly disappointed that I spent so much money, time and research trying to find the right product only to discover that it isn't safe because of the lack of a "tight fit". I do love the beauty of the set and it isn't realistic for me to return, so I had a custom mattress, pad and sheets made at [....]. If you do decide to purchase this set, I would recommend buying a mattress from them: [...]. They have the template that I sent in; and hopefully they will have saved the pattern. I hope you this review will help you make in informed decision before purchasing this product.
