Arms Reach Universal Co-Sleeper

Pros: Baby has it's own sleeping space but can be easily reached for nighttime nursing.

Cons: A hassle to convert from one form to another.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this co-sleeper for any family that wants to keep their baby close but not in bed with them.

Review: When we bought the Arm’s Length Co-Sleeper we were a newly blended family of 7, almost family of 8 at the time, in a four-bedroom house so space was at a premium. I knew that I would be nursing our child so I did not want him far away for those in the ...

Pros: Safely attaches to the bed so that your child is nearby

Cons: cumbersome to transport

The Bottom Line: After using it as a co-sleeper, it converts to a play pen and changing station!

Review: I knew that I wanted an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper during my pregnancy. I knew that I would breastfeed and would need/want access to my child frequently. I also knew that I did not want him in another room to have to schlep during the night to feed him!...

Pros: Good value, well-made, makes it easy to have baby close by

Cons: hard to assemble/disassemble

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for parents who want to have baby nearby but not in bed, and who want to have a portable crib or play yard for later.

Review: I got a lot of use out of my Arm's Reach co-sleeper. I used it attached to the bed for the first few weeks, when I couldn't bear to have the baby far away, then converted it to a bassinet and had it a few steps away from the bed when the nighttime...

Pros: Long term use. Daughter is 13 months old and still sleeps on it.

Cons: Set up is not as easy as the instruction says.

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this product because it eliminates the need for a bassinet, makes breastfeeding at night easier and baby gets to use it till toddler age.

Review: I bought the universal co-sleeper after reading a lot of reviews because I planned to exclusively breastfeed my daughter for the first six months. I had to buy the universal because it is a bit lower than the original which was ideal for our bed as it ...

Pros: Great for cosleeping if you are concerned about overlying or smothering with adult bedding

Cons: Very difficult to set up. Not truely portable for that reason.

The Bottom Line: Recommended for cosleeping if you don't want a family bed. But you probably won't want to move it, and you have to lift your child out of it to nurse.

Review: We bought the Universal co-sleeper because our newborn son seemed to fuss in his small stand-alone bassinet, even when right next to our bed. We wanted to have him close to us, but knew that with a double bed there was no way to safely co-sleep without ...
