Arm's Reach Original Co-Sleeper

Pros: Sturdy, attractive

Cons: Just not useful like I thought it would be

The Bottom Line: Sounds great but not in fact useful.

Review: OK here's the thing. I bought this because I was sure it would be great, I mean what could be better, with the baby right there, but not in the bed with us getting squashed. I thought the baby wouldn't fit in the bed with us since it already felt...

Pros: Very reassuring to have her so close! Very sturdy and comfy for baby!

Cons: None at all!!!

The Bottom Line: I wouldn't hesitiate a minute!

Review: This is the most helpful product that I bought for my baby! My baby was born a bit early and being a first time Mom I wanted her right there beside me. With the Arm's Reach I was able to do just that. And she really enjoys it. It has just been 4 wks...

Pros: Very convenient and safe.

Cons: Parents lose a degree of privacy.

Review: I originally bought this product unwillingly. I never wanted my children to room in with me and hadn't done it with our first two, but when our third boy came only 14 months after our second, there wasn't much choice. Our then 14 month old wasn't...

Pros: Well constructed, great for the early weeks

Cons: Outlives its usefulness relatively quickly

Review: My husband and I were so excited about this product. It seemed like a great alternative to a bassinet, and it was. We used it a lot for the first two months or so after our son was born. After that, however, he joined us in our bed and the...

Pros: baby is right next to you

Cons: unwieldy, bulky and heavy

Review: Using the co-sleeper is like extending your bed to make a safe space just for your baby. No more worries about rolling over and crushing your wee one, but you can have the little angel right next to you. Our son slept in it until he was four months...

Pros: Compact for Travel, can be a bassinet, changing table, or play yard

Cons: Its heavy when it is folded up.

The Bottom Line: Excellent product. Very safe, effective, and a great way to have your baby sleep in your room/bed without worrying about rolling over on them in the middle of the night.

Review: I love my co-sleeper. I am nursing and it is so easy to just roll over and pick up my daughter and feed her. I also bring a diaper or two and some wipes in her travel case in our room at night and just change her on our bed! I keep the diapers and...

Pros: convienent and the best way to keep an eye on baby

Cons: Read instructions carefully

Review: Its great for parents who want their babies in their room with them, but rather not have them actually in the bed. I can lay right next to my baby, safely and comfortably and be able to easily reach in to rub or pat his back when he stirs during the...

Pros: keeps baby close but seperate, can take it on vacation

Cons: may not be able to nurse while baby is laying in it

The Bottom Line: I like this as the perfect best of cosleeping but seperate sleeping

Review: Never thought there was a need for the "other" world. Keeping baby seperate that is. Cosleeping was the perfect solution to get more sleep for a nursing mom at night. My first 2 transitioned fine to their own beds. But seeing as my 2 yr old is still...

Pros: Keeps baby close, good for those not comfortable with baby in bed

Cons: Bulky, mattress not level with adult bed

The Bottom Line: Bottom line, if you have the money, go for it. It can work for some, but wasn't wonderful for us.

Review: When expecting my second child, I received a cash gift from my co-workers. I was delighted to have the extra money to spend, and we went out and purchased the bedside co-sleeper. It was easy to assemble, and my husband had it ready for us when we...

Pros: Allows the baby to sleep close to you...not with you

Cons: A little difficult to assemble

Review: I purchased the Bedside Co-sleeper when my baby was just a few weeks old after hearing really great reviews about it. This is such a wonderful concept. The Co-sleeper is a bedside attachment that fits easily next to your bed allowing closeness as if...
