When you have newborn babies, safe sleep is always top-of-mind for parents. Overnights can be filled with anxiety. Anxiety from making sure they're sleeping okay. Anxiety from making sure they don't wake each other up. Anxiety from having to transfer two sleeping babies from the living room to their bassinet and praying with bated breath that neither of them wakes up during the process—until they're both successfully asleep in their bassinet, it's a scary time, for sure.
While safe sleep practices recommend that your babies shouldn't sleep in bouncers, there is an ingeniously designed all-in-one bassinet that converts from a bouncer into a bassinet without having to remove your sleeping baby—and it's sleep expert-approved.
While this product is made for a singleton baby and not specifically twins, the concept is so incredible that you're going to want one for each of your twins.
Get this: The Elvie Rise smart bouncer removes the hurdle of having to transfer sleeping babies from wherever they've fallen asleep to their bassinet or cribs.
Get this: The Elvie Rise smart bouncer removes the hurdle of having to transfer sleeping babies from wherever they've fallen asleep to their bassinet or cribs.
How, you wonder? It's designed to transform from bouncer mode into bassinet mode with one fluid movement, so your baby can get safe sleep without you needing to lift or move your baby from said bouncer.
If you've ever had to transfer a sleeping baby to their bassinet without waking them up, you know how nerve-racking it can be. Now, imagine how scary that same process is when the finally-sleeping baby you're carrying has a set of primo lungs that can wake up the second soundly sleeping baby, whom you also want to stay asleep.
With this all-in-one bouncer, you no longer have to move not just one but TWO sleeping babies. This is a game-changer AND a time-saver for exhausted twin parents.
Safe sleep around the clock
This transformative smart bouncer and bassinet is thoughtfully designed to support your baby around the clock, from daytime to playtime, from naptime to bedtime.
It smoothly transforms from a snuggly daytime or pre-snooze bouncer to a secure, lie-flat bassinet with a firm mattress that follows guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The inner side wall of the bassinet is made of a breathable fabric, which is ideal for safe naps and overnight sleep sessions.
It can be hard to envision how this seamless transition is possible, so take a few seconds to see how the Rise transitions from bouncer to bassinet here and from bassinet to bouncer here.
With safety top-of-mind, the harness that keeps your baby secure while they're in the bouncer is designed to automatically retract as you transition the Rise into bassinet mode, which is pretty cool.
While it's safe to transform the bouncer into bassinet mode with your baby inside, it should be noted that you should never transform the Rise from bassinet mode into bouncer mode while your baby is lying inside, as they could fall and get hurt.
And, like any other swing or bouncer, the Rise isn't safe for sleep or unsupervised use while it's in bouncer mode. But once it's converted into bassinet mode, you can feel confident to lie down yourself and grab some much-needed rest yourself.
Smart hands-free soothing
Every baby responds to bouncing and rocking differently, and you have to find what works best to soothe your little ones. One of your twins might like a certain rocking motion, while the other likes a specific bouncing movement.
The Rise uses SootheLoop technology and can be controlled through the Elvie Soothe & Sleep app, so you can record motions that mimic your soothing touch and then sit back while the Rise repeats your recorded motions to comfort your baby. You can use your phone to start, stop, or fine-tune the bouncing motion.
...you can record motions that mimic your soothing touch and then sit back while the Rise repeats your recorded motions to comfort your baby.
As your babies grow, they can use the Rise's manual bounce mode, which encourages them to explore their developing muscles in a safe and stimulating space.
You can also record time spent in the bassinet because the Rise is able to detect when your baby's inside and can automatically start recording. This allows you to track your baby's sleep and see how their sleep patterns change over time, if that's something you're interested in.

Rise All-in-One Smart Bouncer & Bassinet by Elvie
Safe Sleep, Day or Night
This is the Rise by Elvie. It's an all-in-one smart bouncer that transitions into a bassinet, giving your baby a safe sleep zone that's sleep expert-approved. It can be controlled via an app, which you can use to record motions that mimic your own personal soothing bounce motions. The bassinet is rated for babies from newborns up to five months old (up to 22 pounds / 10 kilograms), who can't yet sit, kneel, nor pull themselves up or push up onto their hands and knees. The bouncer, which has newborn mode and infant mode, is rated for babies up to six months old (from 5.5 pounds / 2.5 kilograms and up to 20 pounds / 9 kilograms). The Newborn bouncer is meant for babies who can't yet hold their head up, and the Infant bouncer is meant for babies who can hold their head up but who can't yet sit, kneel, nor pull themselves up. The bassinet features a firm, flat mattress that comes with a soft, bamboo padded sheet that can be tossed into the washer and dryer for easy cleaning. The Rise outer wall, harness, and water-resistant layer beneath the padded sheet can all be easily wiped clean.
Take it on-the-go
The Elvie Rise is incredibly portable, so for those days where your baby doesn't fall asleep in the bouncer/bassinet, you can easily collapse the legs, grab it by the built-in carrying groove, and move it to a bedroom or nursery. It reassembles quickly, making it easy to move around your home or take with you to grandma or grandpa's house.
You also don't have to worry about having it set up near an outlet because, while you can leave it plugged in, you can also use it cordlessly—on a full charge, you'll get up to four hours of bouncing, which equates to eight bounce sessions, as you don't want to leave your baby in a bouncer beyond the recommended time.
A sleep solution that works
When you're a parent with newborn babies, safe sleep is something you're always thinking about.
While safe sleep practices recommend that babies shouldn't sleep in bouncers, the Rise by Elvie is an ingeniously designed all-in-one bouncer that easily transitions into a bassinet to give your baby a safe sleep space that's sleep expert-approved AND doesn't disrupt your baby if they've fallen asleep while it's in bouncer mode.
This removes the tedious task of needing to successfully transfer two sleeping babies once they've fallen asleep, gives your baby a safe sleep space for naptime or overnight sleep sessions, and provides parents with the peace of mind they need to get a good night's sleep.
