Can I have the bassinet up top in double mode and is this safe?
Absolutely! Keep them close and comforted for your peace of mind and theirs, or move the bassinet down below if your toddler requires your attention. Your toddler can even face the bassinet to entertain their new best friend.
Regarding safety, experts agree that having your baby within eyesight and easy reach is the safest option. You’ll also find that seeing your face will help keep them more settled.
We take safety very seriously, which is why JUNO was designed to comply with the mandatory and voluntary Australian safety standards, as well as European, Canadian, and American standards. Unlike competitor products, it passes this configuration, as well as ALL configurations listed on our website. We designed it this way because we know it’s what parents want!
Will it fit in my boot?
We recommend measuring your boot space and comparing to our folded dimensions. The frame when folded is 64cm x 38.5cm x 81cm and the bassinet and seat can be moved around to maximise space.
Is the bassinet approved for overnight sleeping?
The short answer: no.
The long answer: No pram bassinet in Australia is approved for overnight sleeping and all pram bassinets must display a warning label stating that they should not be used for unsupervised sleeping.
Here’s why: Pram bassinets are narrower than a sleeping bassinet, offering less room for baby to sleep safely. Even with breathable mesh sides, if a baby's nose presses against the mesh, it can block their airflow, creating a suffocation risk. As babies breathe almost exclusively through their noses until at approximately four months of age, ensuring they have enough space to sleep safely is crucial.
Some brands may advertise their products as "approved for overnight sleeping" or offer stands that allow the bassinet to be removed from the pram and used as a regular sleeping bassinet or cot. However, these products are designed and tested according to international standards and are not recommended by Australia's peak safety bodies.
As an Australian company, we design products that strictly adhere to Australian Safety Standards and consult with local experts, like Red Nose and INPAA, who explicitly advise against using any pram bassinet for unsupervised or overnight sleeping.
Can I fold it with 2 seats on?
Yes, you can! Making it easy and compact to store your pram out of the way whether in cafes or at home after each outing. Practically speaking, not many parents will want to lift and carry a double pram with two seats attached, so when lifting is involved, you’re likely to want to remove at least one seat.
Are the Babybee DUO or ROVER range seats or bassinets compatible with the JUNO frame?
No. They are completely different models and have different connection points and adaptors so parts aren’t compatible.
Is there ventilation in the bassinet mattress?
Our bassinet is designed with effective temperature regulation in mind, but we don't use mattress ventilation holes as they provide no meaningful benefit.
What's truly important for your baby's comfort and safety is proper air circulation throughout the entire bassinet. That’s why we’ve included multiple ventilation options and allow you to completely remove the bassinet cover while still keeping your baby covered with the pull-out UV cover. The head-end ventilation panel also allows air to flow freely, especially when moving the pram forward while walking.
The mattress cover is made from bamboo, a natural fibre that is moisture-wicking. This helps prevent overheating on warm days, which is crucial since newborns are still developing their temperature regulation abilities.
While some brands market mattress ventilation as a safety feature, research shows that without an active fan system, holes in the mattress make no noticeable difference to airflow or cooling, and "ventilated" bassinet mattresses do not provide any safety benefit to your bassinet.
Is the seat suitable for a newborn?
No, due to the bucket seat design of JUNO, we recommend newborns be placed in a bassinet or baby capsule (just note the 2-3 hour usage limit on baby capsules).
JUNO has the largest seat in its class! Flat-lay seats suitable for newborn use can be handy for the first 18 months if you’re not using a bassinet. However, after this point, you’ll find your child will outgrow the seat very quickly. Especially when reclined, their legs will stick out uncomfortably, far beyond the end of the seat. With a bucket seat, little legs remain in a comfortable, bent position, maximising longevity. JUNO will comfortably accommodate children up to 5 years.
What are the wheels made of?
A high-grade PU. This material was carefully chosen for its durability. Unlike EVA or engineered rubber (ER) wheels, you won’t see any marks or dents over time with PU, and it will wear much better. They’re also lighter than solid rubber and don’t require any maintenance like air tyres do. So, they’re gravel-proof and built to tackle any terrain. The innovative raised strip in the middle reduces friction with the ground, and they boast 10 ball bearings to deliver an ultra-smooth stroll!
Is there ventilation in the seat back?
No. When we tested a prototype mesh seat with our test families, the feedback was that the mesh wasn’t as comfortable for their children, the seat became less durable, and it also meant the seat liner had to be removed, making it much harder to keep clean. In hot temperatures, the feedback was that the children were hot regardless of the seat type and they couldn’t report a difference. Hence, why we chose the seat we did!
