50 lbs...again based upon my experiences and airlines website, the top weight limit is 30 lbs.
Asiana Airlines
• Asiana Airlines provides a baby bassinet for international flight customers accompanied by an infant.
• Passengers can use a cabin infant cradle in the cabin, if it is requested at the time of booking. It may be unavailable as the number of seats is limited. The dimensions of the bassinet are 76.6 x 29.8 x 15.8 cm (length x width x depth).
• Infants shorter than 76cm and weighing less than 14 kg can use a baby bassinet. If these limitations are exceeded, the infant should sit with the guardian for safety.
Cathay Pacific
• All our aircraft are equipped with special baby bassinets. A bassinet measures 76.20cm (30") x 38.10cm (15") x 20.32cm (8") and can carry up to 12kgs. Please note however a baby older than 6 months may feel uncomfortable in a bassinet.
Singapore
• While a limited number of bassinets are available onboard on a first-come, first-served basis, we recommend that you request for a bassinet upon booking to assure easy travel with your infants.
• The dimensions of the bassinets are 769 L x 299 W x 200 H (mm). Bassinets can support a maximum weight of 14kg.
Korea
• Baby Bassinets may be requested during reservation.
• Size: 75 cm (length) X 34 cm (width) X 22.4 cm (height)
• Bassinets are for infants 75 cm tall and weighing less than 11 kg.
At three months, my son 'outgrew' his bassinet since he likes to toss and turn when he sleeps. My son height and weight is average (50% percentile) It could be ‘claustrophobic’ for some older babies that could barely fit into a bassinet.
