Halo BassiNest Swivel Sleeper

The Halo Bassinest is the bedside bassinet most twin parents put next to the bed for the first three to four months. It swivels (so the foot of the bassinet can pivot away from the bed for safe placement, or pivot toward you for easy reach), the side wall lowers (so you can reach the baby with one arm without leaning out of bed), and the footprint is compact enough to fit two next to a queen-size bed in most rooms.

For twins, you usually need two. One on each side of the bed, or one beside each parent if you split shifts. Most twin parents who try one bassinet for two babies end up buying the second within two weeks. The "shared one bassinet, take turns" plan rarely survives the first 3am.

The Halo is mid-priced (about $250). The Snoo is the premium alternative if you want active soothing; the Halo is the right call if you want to keep things simple.
