Browse the Angelbliss catalog and you meet a string of codes: BG01, BG03, BP05, BTS01 and a family of BN bassinets. Decoding them takes a minute. The more useful question is which piece suits what your baby is able to do at this stage.
This guide covers how the lineup is organized, which surface suits which activity, how the brand’s play gym stacks up against a premium rival, and what to know about buying, returning and caring for the gear. It draws on the brand’s own pages and policies plus public safety guidance, so treat it as research rather than a hands-on test.
For a closer look at the plush play gym, our full verdict on the Angelbliss BG01 Play Gym Mat covers that single product in depth.
Who Is Behind Angelbliss
Angelbliss is a direct-to-consumer baby brand, and its About page leaves most questions about the company unanswered. It refers to founders but names none, and it offers no city, factory or team photo. What it does give is a timeline that dates the original idea to 2015 and the launch to 2017, followed by a range that widened from bassinets to feeding essentials by 2018.
Trademark filings supply a little more. Two ANGELBLISS applications appear in public listings. One dates from 2019 and covers cradles and cribs, among other goods. The other was filed by ANGELBLISS LLC in 2023 and covers toys, baby gyms included. The material reviewed here doesn’t establish whether either filing is still active or how the two owners are connected, and the USPTO’s free TSDR database holds the current record for anyone who wants to check.
A mailing address in Newark, Delaware appears on the brand’s contact page.
Four gaps are worth raising with the brand by email. Does it publish independent lab results for the bassinets or the play mats? Which model did the Health Canada advisory concern? Where are the products made, and who founded the company? A specific, direct answer would say a lot.
None of this disqualifies the products. It does shift the weight onto each product’s own specs and the brand’s written policies, since there is no famous name to lean on.
Reading the Model Codes
The catalog holds 12 products, and the first letters of each model code point to the family it belongs to.
- BN: bassinets and bassinet combos. The portable BCR08 carries a different code but belongs to this family too.
- BG: play mats and gyms.
- BP: the playpen.
- BTS: the potty training toilet seat.
Seven of the 12 are bassinets or bassinet combos. The other five are two play mats, a playpen, a potty seat and a bottle warmer.
Play mats, playpen and everyday gear
| Model | What it is | Listed details |
|---|---|---|
| BG01 | 5-in-1 play gym mat | Quilted reversible mat, 47.24 by 35.43 inches and 3.15 inches thick, with two padded arches, five toys and a drawstring edge that forms a ring; eight colors; machine washable per the brand |
| BG03 | Self-inflating playpen mat | Foam up to 1.18 inches thick under a high-density polyester cover that wipes clean; two valves fill it without a pump |
| BP05 | Foldable, portable playpen | 50 by 50 inches in 300D Oxford fabric, with mesh walls the brand describes as breathable, a canopy and a carry bag; removable cover is machine washable; ships pre-assembled |
| BTS01 | Potty training seat | Sits on a standard toilet, with handles, a backrest and an adjustable fit |
| Bottle warmer | Portable travel warmer | 16,000mAh battery, a stated 98 to 212°F range and a sealed design the brand calls leak-proof |
Two details connect these products. The BP05 includes no floor mat, and the BG03 is sold in a 50 by 50 inch size that matches the playpen’s footprint. The BG01 and BG03 also sit at opposite ends of the thickness range, 3.15 inches against 1.18 at most, so each suits a different job.
Bassinets
Bassinets make up the largest family, seven in all. The table sums up each one by its listed features.
| Model | Type | Listed features |
|---|---|---|
| BN02 | Bedside portable bassinet | Rated for 0 to 6 months and up to 20 lb, with six heights and an aluminum frame with four mesh sides |
| BN03 | 3-in-1 rocking bassinet | Rated for 0 to 5 months, with a rocking mode and six height settings |
| BN06 | Bedside bassinet | A storage basket, four wheels with brakes and an aluminum frame |
| BN08 | 3-in-1 rocking bassinet | A horizontal swing and five height settings |
| BN11 | Bassinet and pack and play | Folds with one push and has a detachable diaper changer |
| BN13 | Smart electric bassinet | A remote, 12 sounds, five rocking speeds and a listed 3 to 8 degree incline |
| BCR08 | Portable bassinet | A folding, all-mesh bedside design |
Incline modes appear on four models: the BN02, BN03, BN06 and BN13. The BN13 specifies a tilt of 3 to 8 degrees that the brand labels anti-reflux. The AAP’s view is that raising one end of a baby’s sleep surface neither helps with reflux nor is safe, and it advises a flat, firm surface for all sleep. On any of these four, keep the bassinet flat for sleep.
Materials and claims
The brand names polyester and microfiber for its fabrics and aluminum for the bassinet frames, and it describes the toy materials as BPA-free. Its FAQ says the products comply with ASTM and CPSIA standards. All of that is self-reported. No independent test report for a specific model appears in the material reviewed here.
Start With the Right Surface
Surface choice comes before model choice. The AAP’s wording for tummy time is a surface that “shouldn’t indent” under a baby, with an awake adult supervising.
The Angelbliss range offers two very different play surfaces: the BG01’s plush quilting, 3.15 inches deep, and the BG03’s foam, up to 1.18 inches. Sleep is a separate category from both. The AAP’s answer for sleep is a surface that is flat, firm and designed for the purpose, while play on the back is the activity where something softer can work, provided an adult is watching.
Lounger mode is the BG01 label to treat most carefully. The CPSC tallied at least 79 deaths linked to infant cushions and loungers between 2010 and 2022, over 80% of them babies three months old or younger, and its federal rule for infant support cushions covers loungers as well as cushions meant for tummy time. For a young infant, we would skip the mode.
The brand’s own warning is brief: “Always use under adult supervision.”
Matching Gear to Your Baby’s Stage
Newborn to about 3 months: back play
Babies this young spend most of their time on their back, so the useful features are things to look at and reach for. The BG01 hangs five toys from its arches, and its thick quilting softens a hard floor. Both points suit the stage, with two cautions: leave lounger mode alone, and move to a flatter surface than the thick mat for tummy time. The play gym is one of the pieces you can browse on Angelbliss’s own store.
Four to eight months: rolling over and sitting up
Rolling changes the picture for the BG01. A very soft surface asks for closer watching once a baby can turn over, and the AAP’s firm-surface guidance points the same way, so stay within arm’s reach.
Sitting is where the ball pit setup makes sense, since the drawstring turns the mat’s edge into a ring around the baby. For floor play and tummy time, the BG03’s thinner foam is the flatter choice.
Seven months and up: crawling and standing
Crawlers and early pullers can use an enclosed space. The BP05 provides a 50 by 50 inch play yard for about $160 at Angelbliss. It ships without a floor mat, and the BG03’s 50 by 50 inch size matches its footprint, so the two can be paired.
Toddlers: potty training
The BTS01 is the potty training seat for toddlers. It sits on top of an ordinary toilet and adds handles, a backrest and an adjustable fit, so check that its outline matches your toilet’s before you order.
Bassinets: keep them flat
Age and weight limits vary between models, so read them before the feature list: the BN02 stops at 6 months or 20 lb, while the BN03 ends at 5 months. Flat is the only position to use for sleep, whatever incline a listing advertises.
The BN11 pack and play is one of the bassinets whose description doesn’t advertise an incline mode, and the brand calls its included mattress firm. With it, as with any bassinet, use only the mattress supplied and add nothing to the sleep area.
Angelbliss vs Lovevery
A natural point of comparison for the BG01 is the Lovevery Play Gym, which sells for about $150 against about $80 for the Angelbliss. The two start from different priorities.
| Angelbliss BG01 | Lovevery Play Gym | |
|---|---|---|
| Independent certification | None published | OEKO-TEX Standard 100 textile label |
| Price | About $80 | About $150 |
| Included | Five toys | Five toys, three card sets, a cover and a guide |
| Made from | Plush quilted fabric with BPA-free toys | Wood, silicone, cotton and a polyester mat |
| Footprint | 47.24 by 35.43 inches, 3.15 inches thick | 50 by 47 inches open, 23.9 inches tall |
| Age range | From newborn, per the brand | Birth to 12 months |
| Cleaning | Machine washable | Cold machine wash for the mat and zones |
Lovevery organizes its gym around developmental zones, with a play guide arranged by stage and high-contrast cards that are swapped out during the first 12 weeks. Angelbliss leads with coziness instead: a deep quilted mat, plush toys and a drawstring edge that can become a ball pit.
The age ranges differ too. Lovevery designs for birth to 12 months and adds a Play Space Cover so toddlers can use the frame as a fort afterward. Angelbliss gives its range as newborn through preschool age, and the ball pit and playpen shapes are what stretch it beyond the first year.
On materials, only Lovevery names an outside certification, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for textiles, while Angelbliss’s ASTM and CPSIA claims come from the brand’s own FAQ. Lovevery lists no mat thickness, so firmness can’t be compared directly, though its gym is built around tummy time zones.
Washing is allowed for both. Lovevery spells out cold water and air drying for its mat and zones and a damp cloth for the wood and plastic parts, while Angelbliss lists no more than “Machine Washable” for the BG01. A thicker quilted mat needs longer to dry.
Floor space is the practical test. The Lovevery gym spans 50 by 47 inches open and 37.9 by 42.9 closed, and the BG01 mat spans 47.24 by 35.43. Either one needs a cleared patch of floor in a compact room, so measure first.
The choice comes down to priorities. A development-led design, a tummy time focus and a certified textile label point to Lovevery, if $150 fits the budget. Comfort, size and a price near half as much point to the Angelbliss, along with a plan for a firmer tummy time surface.
Space and Budget
Angelbliss play gear is large, so measure before you buy. These are the listed footprints.
- BG01 play gym: the mat measures 47.24 by 35.43 inches, and the arches stand about 28.74 inches high.
- BG03 mat: 50 by 50 inches in the size that matches the playpen.
- BP05 playpen: 50 by 50 inches.
Leave space around each piece for an adult to sit alongside, because staying within arm’s reach is what makes supervision workable.
On price, the BG01 is about $80 at Angelbliss and the BP05 playpen about $160. The seven bassinets run from roughly $170 to $300. For the BG03 mat, the potty seat and the bottle warmer, check the current price at Angelbliss. Orders over $50 ship free, so pairing a smaller item with a second one can clear the threshold.
A few questions are worth asking before you buy:
- At this stage, can my baby lie back, roll, sit or crawl?
- Does the firmness of the surface match the activity?
- Will an adult be right there every time it is in use?
- Is a cushioned floor the goal, or would a flatter mat serve better?
- Am I comfortable covering return postage if it isn’t the right fit?
Buying Direct: Shipping and Returns
Angelbliss sells through its own site, angelbliss.us. That is where the complete 12-product range, current pricing and the written 30-day return policy live, along with a single contact point if something goes wrong. Shop Angelbliss’s own store here.
If you buy anywhere other than Angelbliss’s own site, make sure the seller is authorized. The brand’s 30-day policy applies to orders placed on its own store, and an order from another seller goes back under that seller’s rules.
The reason to be careful is a Health Canada advisory about a bedside bassinet sold under the Angelbliss name by a third-party seller. Testing cited there found a sleep surface inclined by more than 7 degrees, which the agency said creates an entrapment and suffocation risk, and owners were told to stop using the bassinet and discard it. No model number was given in the advisory, and no matching US CPSC recall appears in the material reviewed here.
On any listing, watch for these red flags:
- Pricing far below the brand’s own. A deep discount from another seller deserves a second look.
- Photos of sleeping babies on play gear. A seller who shows this isn’t following safe sleep guidance.
- A missing model code. BG01, BP05, BN11 and the rest identify each Angelbliss product, and a listing without one can’t be matched to the brand’s specs.
- No clear returns path. If it isn’t clear who takes the item back, shop elsewhere.
Entering angelbliss.us in the address bar, instead of following an ad, sidesteps look-alike domains.
Secondhand buying splits in two. A used play mat or potty seat mainly needs to be clean and undamaged. A used bassinet needs more homework: look up the brand and model in the CPSC and Health Canada recall databases first, confirm that every part and the original mattress come with it, and add no padding to the sleep area.
Shipping on an order breaks down like this:
- Speed: 3 to 7 business days on the standard option, within the contiguous US.
- Cost: free over $50, and $6.99 below that.
- Not served: Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and any international address.
- Changes: an order can be edited or canceled within 24 hours of placing it.
Money first on returns: postage is the buyer’s cost unless the product is defective or the error was the brand’s, and the original shipping charge isn’t refunded. Then the clocks. A return must begin within 30 days of delivery, with the item back in original condition and packaging and all accessories included. Refunds are issued within 7 business days of inspection and can take up to 14 business days to appear on a card.
Returns run through email. The brand answers an order number with a Return Authorization Number, the parcel goes back by a trackable method, and the courier receipt is sent to the support mailbox. The written policy suggests insuring the shipment, and for a bulky item such as a playpen that is a modest cost.
One inconsistency matters here. A badge on product pages advertises free shipping and returns within the US, while the written refund policy and FAQ both put return postage on the buyer. Plan around the written policy, and keep all packaging until you’re sure the item stays.
Damage or defects must be reported within 7 days of receipt, and photos may be requested. The policies reviewed here include no written product warranty, so check each item as soon as it arrives.
Care, Cleaning and Safe Use
Setup. Expect the BG01 to arrive vacuum sealed. It looks flat and small until it has had time to regain its shape, so unpack it before you need it. The BG03 fills through its two valves: uncap both and the foam draws in air. Two reviews on the brand’s page mention it needing some help to start, and a few breaths into a valve is one way to give it that.
Washing the BG01. The mat is big, so first confirm it fits the drum without being crammed in. The brand lists it as machine washable and publishes no settings. Without instructions on the label, a gentle approach is the sensible default: detach the arches and toys, choose a cold, gentle cycle with fragrance-free baby detergent, and air dry the mat completely, turning it over partway so the thick filling dries through.
Cleaning the BG03. This is the easy one. A damp cloth handles spills on its polyester cover, according to the brand. Wait until it is dry before deflating and rolling it, and leave the valves open in storage if you want it to refill faster next time.
Toys. Five toys ship with the BG01: a mirror, a ball, a circle ring and two elephants, one crinkly and one plush. The brand describes their materials as BPA-free and the mirror as shatter-resistant. Babies put everything in their mouths, so the toys need regular cleaning. The mirror and ring need only a damp wipe, and the mirror’s edges deserve an occasional look. Your own toys can hang from the arches as long as the hooks hold them. Reviews on the brand’s page note that several of the included toys are gray, so a black and white toy of your own could add contrast.
Weekly checks. Each week, test every toy clip and ring with a tug, check the seams on both the mat and the toys for stray threads or filling that shows, and confirm the arches are seated securely before a baby goes underneath. Pull anything cracked or coming apart from use.
Storage and retirement. Dry the mat completely before it goes into storage, because thick filling holds moisture and a damp mat can pick up odors. Take off the arches and toys, roll or fold the mat loosely, and keep it in a clean bag. The mat or a toy should retire once seams tear, filling shows, a clip breaks or the mirror cracks. If it goes to another family, send the arches, every toy and a short note on safe use.
FAQ
Is the play gym meant for sleep?
No, by AAP guidance. Products that aren’t marketed for infant sleep shouldn’t be used for it, and a sleep surface should be firm enough not to indent under the baby. A baby who drifts off during play belongs in a crib or bassinet.
Does the play gym suit tummy time?
The brand markets it for that purpose, yet the AAP calls for a firm surface and an awake adult watching, and a very soft mat falls short of the first condition. The thinner BG03, or a thin blanket on a firm floor, is the more cautious choice.
Should I use the incline setting on a bassinet?
The AAP says tilting a sleep surface does not ease reflux and is unsafe, and that all sleep should be flat. We wouldn’t use an incline setting.
Can I cancel or change an order?
Changes and cancellations are accepted during the first 24 hours after ordering, address changes included. After processing begins, edits may no longer be possible.
How can I reach the brand?
Email [email protected]. The brand says it aims to respond within a day.
Final Thoughts
Matching Angelbliss gear to a baby’s stage comes down to a few steps: check what the baby can do at this stage, choose a surface that fits that activity, measure the floor space, and buy from a seller with clear return terms.
For play, the BG01 brings plush comfort and size to supervised back play and ball pit time, while the BG03 and BP05 cover the flatter, enclosed stages that follow. For sleep, keep every bassinet flat and rely on the brand’s published model details.
