4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best purchases I've made, February 24, 2004

This review is from: Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural (Baby Product)

I purchased this co-sleeper after having my baby in bed with us for two months. Its great for parents who want their babies in their room with them, but rather not have them actually in the bed. I can lay right next to my baby, safely and comfortably and be able to easily reach in to rub or pat his back when he stirs during the night and needs some comforting. I prefer it over a pack n' play because you can secure it to the bed, the one side goes down so its easier to reach in, and its much smaller than a standard size pack n' play. I tried having the bassinet up against the bed in the same manner and it wasn't working out for me so I purchased this co-sleeper. Our bedroom is on the small side and if I had to use something the size of a pack n' play it would have never worked.

Sorry to see some people arguing over the reviews for this product. I think that its the same with anything, different people have different opinions. Whether or not you enjoy this product will be based on the what you expect from the product and your individual needs. I personally don't need to get out of bed to feed my baby with this co-sleeper as some of the other mothers have indicated, but I could see why some other parents would need to. I didn't purchase the product because I thought it would help me from having to get out of bed. I purchased it because I want my baby next to me at night without having him in my bed, and I want to be able to easily reach in and help sooth him if he needs some comforting during the night. Therefore, depending on your needs you may love this product or you may be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Used every day for 6 months - Love it, February 17, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Natural (Baby Product)

This is a great buy for us. You can reach in and get your baby to feed/cuddle and not worry about rolling over him in your sleep. It is securely fastened to your bed via a belt that goes between your mattress and base. It has two wheels that lock - we wheel it to our living room in the morning and back to the bedroom at night. It's easy to roll up and roll down the side facing the bed. It's also easy to fold if you follow the instructions to the T - the order in which you need to straighten/fold the top and bottom bars is very important. We have used this every day since our baby came home to when he turned 5 and half months old and we transitioned him to the big crib in his nursery. We still use the co-sleeper in the living room to put him down for his nap and will continue to do so till he no longer fits or starts to sit up. (He's 6 months old and 27 inches long now - to give you an idea of how long you can use this crib). You can purchase the special sized crib sheet from most online retailers for about seven dollars. I have two. We stow away all his toys in the storage area underneath and it keeps our house tidy. We even managed to fit a crib mobile on the co-sleeper. It's a very good value for the money compared to other fancy bassinets and rocking beds. We also considered the Original Co-sleeper but I'm glad we got this one because it makes it easy to get in/out of bed around the sleeper, much needed if you have a c-section. If you're looking for something good-looking - this is not for you. If you're looking for something useful and practical - this is for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Definately worth it but challenging to transition, September 21, 2003

I only have a few warnings with the Mini Co-sleeper. It is much harder to fold up than one would hope. I have to flip it upside down to get the bottom bars to fold completely. It is also very hard for me to put the one side up and down, my husband and I have both struggled to do it. The last of my complaints are the sheets. I've found cradle size sheets are the closest. You can order the right ones from Arm's Reach if you want to pay 15 dollars each plus shipping.
On a more positive note, the storage space at the bottom is a plus, baby can use it for longer than a small bassinett and nothing beats the convenience of having your baby close to your bed but not in your bed at first.
