🛑❗️Health Canada warns that baby nests and baby loungers available on the babybubblestore.ca website may pose a risk of strangulation, entrapment, choking and falling 🛑❗️

We are seeing more and more advisories on baby nest and loungers that DO NOT align with the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations in Canada.

We highly encourage you to buy in-person. These are often found online, shipping from international stores.
