Baby Products Reviews of Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper Bassinet Leg Extension Kit, Natural
Customer Review: Gets the job done
Summary: 5 Stars
Our bed + mattress is pretty high and I needed the extensions to raise the cosleeper to my level. I tried the cosleeper without it for a week and it was breaking my back to dip down to pick up the baby to breastfeed at night.
Giving birth naturally injured my back/hip. It took me 2 months to fully recover. So having the cosleeper at my level really helped me. Plus having the baby within my arm's reach to soothe also added more hours to my sleep, which I desperately needed since I was the only one at home to take care of the baby (hubby had to go back to work after the first week).
Adding the extensions does make the bed more shaky, but it's not going to collapse or tip over, especially when the cosleeper is right next to the adult bed.
Customer Review: Leg Extension Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
When I originally read reviews of this product I felt very discouraged because a lot of people said that the legs made the co-sleeper unstable. I have NOT had that experience at all. The legs were easy to install, click together, and the co-sleeper feels just as stable as it did before. It is really nice to have these to be able to customize the sleeper to fit our taller bed. That being said (this is a review of the company and not the product) I really feel like this kit should be included with any co-sleeper and/or should cost much less. It seems awfully expensive for what it is.Customer Review: Worthless for older co-sleepers
Summary: 1 Stars
We also have an older version of the co-sleeper, and these don't fit. There is nothing on the package or in the description that says they won't fit older models -- they're supposed to fit the mini, original, and universal.
Also, as someone else pointed out, they warn you on the front of the package not to use in "bassinet mode". Why else would I need them? I certainly don't need to boost the height when it's in pack & play mode! Definitely a rip-off.
Customer Review: Leg extensions are best bet
Summary: 4 Stars
To bring the co-sleeper up to the height of the bed, these leg extensions are the best bet. Yes, as someone else said, they do make it a little shaky.
So if you are not planning to attach the co-sleeper to your bed, you may want to leave the height alone. (You'll be getting up anyway, so it probably doesn't matter how tall it is.) But once attached to the bed with the anchor strap, rather than free-standing, it was very secure.
Customer Review: Shop Around
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree that these extenders are an inferior product and an obvious attempt by the manufacturer to gouge additional money from consumers. We found a much better product at Bed Bath & Beyond. They are intended as bed height extenders, but work perfectly with the co-sleeper. In fact, they are muc more stable than the cosleeper and they are only $12.99. Definitely shop around!
