I guess the idea is that when they are just born and not pulling themselves up the highest setting is good, then when they start getting a bit more mobile you put the mattress down to the lowest setting.

I didn't make it terribly clear but the 33cm difference is from the top of the mattress to the top of the rail so for a new born they will be unlikely to roll out.

Another option is have you looked at the baby hammocks? this replaces the bassinette and will allow you more time to find a suitable cot for bub when she gets bigger. Just thinking they are a bit more mobile and take up a bit less space.

You can get them on ebay or from various suppliers that post internationally.
