Baby Products Reviews of Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural
Customer Review: Wonderful for breastfeeding moms
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved having this co-sleeper for my newborn. It is so nice to be able to reach over and get the baby to nurse without getting out of bed. It is great if you have the baby in bed with you some and want a space for the baby also.
Pros:
Good size (unless you have a huge baby :) - my baby is now 7 months and 14 lbs and still fits inside just fine.
Convenient for night nursing
Straps to the bed, so no worries about baby falling between bed and bassinet
Cons:
It is a bit hard to fold down/set up - don't buy it for travel
The sleep area for the baby does not lower (I think the large size one does), so this cannot be used as a playpen or with a baby that can pull up
I am really glad we had this, and it is now on loan to another new mom until we have another baby.
Customer Review: *** MARVEOUSLY WONDERFUL BABY ITEM***
Summary: 5 Stars
I USED THIS PRODUCT (IN THE FERN COLOR) FOR BOTH OF MY GIRLS. MY FIRST DAUGHTER SLEPT IN IT UNTIL SHE WAS 7 MONTHS OLD AND MY SECOND DAUGHTER UNTIL SHE WAS NEARLY 9 MONTHS OLD. IT WAS A GOD SEND TO HAVE THEM SO CLOSE AT NIGHT SO I COULD EASILY REACH OVER TO PICK THEM UP TO NURSE. I THINK I GOT MUCH BETTER SLEEP THAN I WOULD HAVE IF THEY WERE ACROSS THE ROOM OR IN ANOTHER ROOM. I ALSO USED IT AS A MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT CHANGING TABLE. ITS SMALL SIZE EASILY FIT INTO OUR TINY BEDROOM. I ONLY WISH THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN USED AS PLAYPEN ALSO LIKE THE LARGER MODEL CAN. NOW THAT MY GIRLS HAVE OUTGROWN IT, THEY USE IT FOR THEIR DOLLS. IT'S STILL IN GREAT SHAPE AND COULD EASILY BE USED FOR SEVERAL MORE LITTLE ONES. IT IS SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT AND A FANTASTIC WAY TO HAVE YOUR BABY SAFELY SLEEP WITH YOU.Customer Review: Wish I had this for my first two babies...
Summary: 5 Stars
We've done the family bed thing with all of our children. We used our crib tied to our bed with one side removed as a co sleeper with the other two. It worked fine, but was big and hard to set up and move and clean around. This co-sleeper is small and really easy to set up and take down. We live where it's cold in the winter and our bed is near a window, so the fact that the co sleeper isn't "insulated" on the bottom was a problem at first. We just added a bunch of fat blankets on the mattress. "They" say you should do that because of the risk of suffocation - but with my hand in there all night and my face inches away, I know if she moves at all. She's very cosy. I'll be sad when she grows out of it. I understand there's a larger version. We may upgrade when the time comes!Customer Review: Great product!

We bought this 3 years ago for our first born...then used it for our second child..and now bought it as a gift for a friend. It was wonderful to have our children so close while they were <6 months of age. We initially lived in a house with a smallish master bedroom so the mini co-sleeper was perfect. We even brought it on trips with us because it folded up so easily.
The only negative thing I have to even offer is that you should realize ahead of time that you have to scoot down some in order to be able to get out of your bed. Not a big deal to me--but it prevented one of my relatives from ordering it.
Great product that has withstood the test of time!
Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Great, especially when breastfeeding every few hours
Summary: 5 Stars
We loved our Arm's Reach Mini Co-sleeper. We used it for 6 months with our first child. I was able to have it right next to the bed in the beginning. I could roll over and breast feed. It was so helpful especially when we first brought her home while I was still recovering. I did not have to get out of bed! We used it very often for naps. It is easy to roll into other rooms and has convenient storage underneath. We are now expecting twins and purchased another co-sleeper so we would have one for each baby! It is very inexpensive and well worth the money. It may look sort of plain, but we always dressed it up with a cute receiving blanket tucked in tightly.
