You know that move where you spend 40 minutes getting the baby to sleep, gently (so gently) lower them into the bassinet, hold your breath, start to tiptoe away … and then the eyes snap open?
Yeah. KIPP was built for that moment.
The brand-new KIPP Smart Bassinet from Redsbaby just landed in Australia, and we love that it’s one of the first smart bassinets to be both designed and owned locally. But more importantly, it does things that will make sleep-deprived parents want to feel very seen.
Okay, But What Does It Actually Do?
Glad you asked. Because “smart bassinet” can mean a lot of things, and we’re not here for fancy marketing speak with nothing behind it.
KIPP has cry detection that listens for your baby and responds automatically – kicking in with soothing motion or vibration before your baby fully wakes up. That’s the sweet spot right there. Catching the stir before it becomes a 45-minute ordeal at 2 am. Parents who’ve been through the early newborn days know exactly how big that is.
It also does the following, and buckle up … because the list is good:
- Head-to-toe gliding motion with adjustable speeds that mimics your arms (without requiring your actual arms … revolutionary).
- Multiple vibration levels for the babies who need that extra bit of convincing.
- 12 built-in soundtracks – white noise, calming melodies, the works. No app. No subscription. No fiddly setup in the middle of the night.
- Adjustable timers for 30, 60 or 90 minutes to build actual sleep routine cues, or run it all night if that’s where you’re at right now (no judgement, truly).
- A remote control so you can adjust everything from across the room, without having to get up every time.
- Compact pack-down design for travel or small spaces, because not everyone has endless space at home.
Watch the video below and see KIPP in action, because honestly, once you see the gliding motion and cry detection in action, it makes a lot more sense. Sometimes you just need to see the thing working at 3 am to get it.
The Safe Sleep Stuff (Because Obviously This Matters)
Before anyone asks … yes, KIPP ticks the safe sleep boxes properly.
Firm, flat mattress. Breathable mesh sides. Designed in line with safe sleep guidelines. And it’s been endorsed by Jennifer Duff, one of Australia’s most respected baby sleep consultants with 25+ years in infant sleep. Known for her gentle, evidence-based, actually-works approach, Jennifer doesn’t just lend her name to things. So when she backs a product, that really means something!
KIPP Just Won a Prestigious Industry Award (And We’re Not Surprised)
If you needed any more convincing, KIPP took out a 2026 INPAA Award for Innovation and Safety in the Sleep Product category, and that’s not a small deal.
The INPAA Awards are the Australian nursery industry’s most respected recognition of excellence, judged by an independent panel of experts in injury prevention, safety standards, and product safety. These are the people who know exactly what safer sleep looks like – and they picked KIPP.
Automated gliding motion, cry detection, breathable panels, firm mattress – the full package scrutinised by the people who scrutinise everything. And it still came out on top.
So yes. Expert-endorsed, award-winning, and Australian-designed. KIPP is the real deal.
Add to that a 3-year warranty, 100-day free returns, and local lifetime support, for a $549 investment, when you’re running on four broken hours and a cold coffee, knowing you can actually get help from real humans in Australia if something goes wrong? Underrated.
The Launch Offer Is Genuinely Good
Right now, buy a KIPP Smart Bassinet and get a free ergoPouch Cocoon Swaddle Bag and 2 cotton fitted sheets thrown in. If you know, you know … ergoPouch is one of those newborn sleep brands that parents swear by. And having sheets ready to go from night one? One less thing to think about.
So you’re getting a smart bassinet, a quality swaddle bag and fitted sheets all for $549. During those first weeks, every bit of preparation counts.
Is KIPP Worth It?
Here’s the honest Mum Central take: the newborn stage is survival mode, and anything that genuinely helps your baby resettle independently (without you having to get up, pick up, pace the hallway, and start the whole process again) is worth serious consideration.
At $549, KIPP sits in premium territory. But when you add up what it replaces (the rocker, the white noise machine, the 3 am panic Googling), it starts to feel like a pretty solid investment.
Australian-designed, expert-endorsed, and built for real families in real homes. We’re into it.
Head to Redsbaby to grab yours, and maybe, just maybe, sleep a little longer tonight.
