Baby Products Reviews of Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural
Customer Review: This Works and I Can Sleep Better
Summary: 4 Stars
I LOVE having the baby right next to me. Very easy to monitor them through the night with a night light near by. I picked the natural color and am enjoying not having baby prints clashing with everything. I do like the cloth siding over the usual plastic, but it's not easy to spot clean.
Also butted up against the bed it's not easy for me to get in and out or make my bed look nice made up. The wheels don't roll around very well on my laminate flooring. Probably would do worse on carpet.
The side pockets are plentiful and come in handy. I loaded down the large storage area underneath with lots of diapers as we shop in bulk. Made the bed sag a bit, so had to lighten up. Still, it seems like a well-made product with a lot of attention to detail and safety.
Perfect for the first few months when MOM needs extra rest and can be used beyond. Highly recommended for a first-time mom or mother who needs to check on baby many times during the night.

Purchasing the mini co-sleeper was the best thing we ever did before our baby came. I ended up having a c-section and having the co-sleeper was perfect. I never had to leave my bed in the middle of the night to feed or change the baby. I kept diapers and wipes in the pocket on the side of the co-sleeper and I changed her right on our bed in the middle of the night. Our daughter is still sleeping in it and she is 5 months old and weighs about 20 pounds. I am sad that we will have to move her to her crib soon since the weight limit is 23 pounds. I can not imagine having to get out of my bed in the middle of the night. Also, I found the original assembly to be a little difficult but the directions are good and I was able to do it by myself 8 months pregnant. I found folding it up and setting it up when traveling to be very easy. I also think the sheets are expensive but a king size pillow case fits perfectly. I have one sheet and when that is dirty I use king size pillowcases.Customer Review: The Best

I searched for all kinds of options for how I should sleep with my child in my room. After some research and lots of opinions from other people, I decided on the co-sleeper. It sits right next to me at night and is wedged between the bed and the wall so I don't have to use the straps to attach it to the bed. My daughter loves sleeping in it. I think the best thing about it is that I can look over in the morning, without effort, and see my beautiful daughter's smiling face. I would say that this is a must for all new parents. It has saved me lots of hassle as well, because it's easy to transfer my daughter from our bed to the sleeper without waking her up. We bought one that wouldn't set-up correctly. My husband said that the latch wouldn't latch. We took it back to babies r us and they happily returned it. Make sure you keep the box until it's all set-up and you know for sure that it's working correctly. Great product though and well worth the price.Customer Review: Co-Sleeping is a personal choice -- LOVE the MINI CO SLEEPER
Summary: 5 Stars
After detailed research coupled with the choice to breastfeed our baby, we decided to register for the mini co-sleeper. I won't get into the logistics of the pros/cons of co-sleeping because the choice is a personal one, BUT the co-sleeper has been a dream. I am able to hear the baby's movements before he is so hungry that his crying makes latching on difficult. He is nearby but not in our bed, thus removing the danger of suffocation. Frankly, we all catch a few extra winks thanks to his proximity! The co-sleeper hasn't been hard for us to break down, but I could see where it would be frustrating if I wanted to do so constantly. In fact, we'll be taking it away with us to Grandma's house soon and have successfully moved it from room to room in our small city apt without issues. This product is great for breastfeeding moms and, as advertised, for those recovering from c-sections. I wouldn't dream of calling those women lazy!

I have been using the co-sleeper for three months now and love it. I bought it thinking it would be useful in just turning over to nurse. The only problem is that there is a slight lip on the item so the bed of the co-sleeper is not exactly flush with your bed since there is a lip (the side does not go down all the way). You cannot just lean over to feed, you must get up on your knees and lift the baby into your bed (elbows don't bend backwards). What I do like about it that it is close by so you can see the baby while he's sleeping (I was paranoid about blankets covering his face). It is much easier to pack up to take with you on overnights and packs up smaller than the pack n'play. I do recommend that if you had a c-section to set it a foot or so from the bed (with the fourth side up if it makes you more comfortable) since trying to get up around it is difficult for the first week or two.
