Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper

Pros: Easy to set up, pockets to hold diapers, and large storage below.

Cons: The sheet can't go in the dryer and extension legs are sold separately.

The Bottom Line: This is a great product for breastfeeding parents who don't want to have the baby sleep in the bed with them.

Review: We started using the co-sleeper the day we brought our daughter home from the hospital. From day 1, it was the perfect way to keep the baby close in order to breastfeed without having her in our bed with us. We looked at other sleeping options such...

Pros: great to have for newborns, fits in smaller rooms, great company.

Cons: hard to break down,

The Bottom Line: I would definately recommend this product, because it give peace of mind and keeps your baby close but still allows you to have your 'space'.

Review: I purchased this before my son was born (around may) we used it as a co-sleeper from the time he was born (june) till about the end of the year when he transitioned him to his crib.

It was relatively easy to put together. It was perfect...

Pros: Small size, generous space underneath holds diapers, clothing plus more!Very portable too.

Cons: High price tag.

The Bottom Line: Definitely worth every cent- especially for breast feeding and/or C-Section moms.

Review: When I was pregnant I was looking for something that would allow me to keep my baby close. I liked the idea of cosleeping but didn't want her actually in the bed with me-the fear of suffocating her would never allow me to get any sleep. The Arm's...

Pros: lightweight, wraps up into a tidy package, easy for travel, feels sturdy

Cons: velcro on the sheet is too sticky, prefer generic playyard sheets

Review: We used the mini cosleeper in conjunction with the 'snugglenest' since our daughter, now five months, was born. This product is excellent, and the odd thing is, we rarely set it up in the co-sleeper arrangement--it seemed like it worked just fine...

Pros: compactness, quality

Cons: none

Review: Nice and compact, well constructed. This worked great next to our bed. Baby and parents were happy. It folds up into a small size that can be transported or stored easily.

Pros: Keeps baby close by, comfortable

Cons: Fabric lining can not be washed, accessories very expensive

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this, but it is not cheap.

Review: I knew that I wanted to keep my second child very close by at night. She was born prematurely and prone to apnea, so I wanted to see her without sitting up, and to be able to touch her without shifting. I found a mini co-sleeper at a secondhand...

Pros: Compact, easy to move around the house

Cons: Short life span: can't use once baby pushes up or weighs 23 lbs.(about 5 months)

The Bottom Line: This was a great product for a first time nervous mom who wanted her baby in the room. It was also useful as a portable bassinet for the second baby.

Review: One of our experienced parent-friends highly recommended that I get a co-sleeper when I was pregnant with my first child. This is a friend my husband trusts, so it was the only item he insisted that we get for the baby. Asking my husband to go...

Pros: Well designed/constructed; portable, versatile, means more sleep for you and baby, benefits of cosleeping

Cons: None that I can think of! Baby outgrows it by 4 months or so.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Arms Reach Mini Co-sleeper as the perfect first bed for your baby. You and your baby will sleep much better this way!

Review: The decision to purchase the Mini Co-Sleeper for my second child is among the best I have ever made! She is 4 months old now and has slept in it every night since coming home from the hospital. I am nursing, and love the "idea" of co-sleeping if not...
