Arm's Reach® Original Bedside Co-Sleeper®

I love this product!! I had borrowed the mini size from my friend, but at 5 months my little girl grew out of it and we still wanted her to sleep with us, the original is much roomier. Of course, it also takes up more space in the room. the mattress is a little hard, but our little girl doesnt mind. I love being able to see her lying next to me without having to worry that were going to roll over her or something. great invention arms reach!!

Love love LOVE this product! It's been used for two of my kids now, and it's spacious enough to not only have baby in there but keep all the other night time necessities in the pockets right there too.

I love that it transitions to a bassinet and a play yard, it's really a great purchase for anyone who wants the most sleep as possible, especially a single parent like myself!

I am due in August and just set this up a couple of days ago. It is so easy to assemble and attach to the bed. I am so happy we are going with one of these.

We also purchased the leg extensions to get it up to our 30" bed height.

I love my co-sleeper - I have used for three children and am gearing up for a fourth. I pretty much used it until the baby was 6 months - basically until the baby could get out of it. It was so easy to breastfeed in the middle of the night and madem y life much easier! I highly recommend it!

This cosleeper is great for younger babies. While I currently cosleep with a toddler, this was great for when our child was younger and I was less comfortable having her right in our bed. I love that it's portable and quick to set up. It is more of a challenge to get out of bed with it attached, but it's sure a lot better than getting out of bed every time your baby wakes up. We never had to worry about a proper sleep setup for trips away from home. A true sanity saver!

I have the Original Co-Sleeper and love it despite a few issues.
*I'll admit it was difficult to assemble (but I did it by myself at 9 mos pregnant so it can't be THAT hard). The directions were a little unclear and the buttons for the bars were difficult to find.
*The "mattress" that came with it is thin and very hard. Other people have complained about it, but I just purchased a portable crib mattress and put it on top of the co-sleeper mattress. It works great.
*It is hard to get out of bed with the co-sleeper beside you. I had to scoot down to the foot of the bed if I needed to get up.
*When I converted it from co-sleeper to bassinet, I had trouble raising the bar to the top slot.
Despite these issues, it has been the perfect bed. When my son was very new, I used it as a co-sleeper right beside my bed. However, I did not use the recommended straps to secure it to my bed because we have carpet (not slippery hardwood floors) and
the thing is so heavy, it wouldn't budge even when I tried to slide it around.
Eventually I got tired of trying to get out of bed by climbing around the co-sleeper, so I raised the co-sleeping bar and slid the bed into the corner of our master bedroom. My son is still very close by, but I don't have to climb over a huge baby bed to get up. The co-sleeper is also the perfect height. I don't strain my back getting my son in and out of it. My son is now 4 mos. old and still sleeps in the co-sleeper just fine, but I will have to change his sleeping arrangements when he begins pulling up.
It may not be the easiest to put together or convert, but I would definitely recommend it.

After only a few weeks of using a traditional, high-sided cradle for our baby (who gets up to nurse several times in a night), we decided that we needed something to make moving the baby between her bed and ours easier. We chose the bedside co-sleeper and we haven't been disappointed.

The low side of the co-sleeper is level with our mattress, and the mattress of the co-sleeper is about 4 inches lower than that. This means that when my baby wakes in the middle of the night to nurse, I only have to lift her four inches to get her into my bed. I don't even have to sit up to manage this. Plus, since there are no bars or slats between her bed and mine, when she's fussy at night I can easily reach out a hand to soothe her or find the pacifier she's let slip from her mouth. The four outside pockets (one on each short end and two on the long end) are convenient for holding burp cloths, extra diapers, baby wipes, etc - everything I need for late-night feeding and changing.

This bassinet really made our lives easier in those sleep-deprived first weeks that baby came home. I could reach over and soothe him, or feed him or change him, all without ever getting out of bed. Nice! Once he started sleeping through the night it became a stand-alone bassinet, and later, we lowered the bottom and he napped in it. Now that my son is older we use it as a play yard. I park him in it while I'm getting ready for work and we "talk" to each other.
