The big debate: Bassinet vs. Crib Last spring before our son was born we were trying to decide what he should sleep in. Crib? Seemed too big and far away from us... Bassinet? Most of the ones we saw were round and bulky- just not for us... AH... more

Pros

convenient! great design!

Cons

first-time setup, hard mattress

Bottomline

If you want to sleep well knowing your child is close, but not too close (in your bed) this is it!

Wonderful for keeping baby near and safe!

My colicky baby refused to sleep in our borrowed bassinet at about 3 weeks of age. She would only sleep in my arms -- while I was sitting up. Needless to say, sleeping while sitting up and nursing a newborn around the clock was sheer hell. But at... more

Pros

Ingenius idea for co-sleeping parents; very portable and light

Cons

Price; folding mechanism is tricky; fabric can get dirty; cannot attach some mobiles to it

Bottomline

If you're going to buy a bassinet to keep baby in your room, you should go with the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper.

This is possibly my most treasured baby gear item from the first few days of my baby's life! We used it a total of 7 months and loved it! It was wonderful to be so close to our baby that I could literally roll over and put my hand on her or just listen... more

I received the Mini Co-Sleeper as a gift for my first baby. I was so excited about using it that I set it up a month before my daughter was born. The sleeper was easy to set up, but I found I had to use more effort to take it back down. The little... more

My husband and I read up all we could about attachment parenting, and really wanted our little girl to be close to us. Our bed really is not that big, so we feared that we wouldn't have the space. We received the co-sleeper as a registry gift, and I... more

It only is meant for babies up to 6 months or 25 pounds.
