Arms Reach Original Co-Sleeper
Price Range: $130.00 - $200.00 from 10 stores
The Original Bedside Co-Sleeper is a unique creation that allows you and your baby to sleep safely and comfortably next to each other from the moment you both come home. Whether you choose to breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby, the Co-Sleeper enables you to reach over and draw your baby close for feeding without disturbing the warmth and security of either of your beds. Attached to your bed under the mattress, the Co-Sleeper is securely strapped in place and it easily connects to any size bed, including the California King adult bed. By folding up and fitting into a nylon carry bag with a sturdy handle, the Co-Sleeper is portable and able to fit into the overhead compartment of most commercial airlines.

Never thought there was a need for the "other" world. Keeping baby seperate that is. Cosleeping was the perfect solution to get more sleep for a nursing mom at night. My first 2 transitioned fine to their own beds. But seeing as my 2 yr old is still... more

keeps baby close but seperate, can take it on vacation

may not be able to nurse while baby is laying in it
Bottomline
I like this as the perfect best of cosleeping but seperate sleeping

Before our baby was born we had already decided that we'd want her sleeping in our room, but we were concerned about the dangers of true co-sleeping. Based on various friends' recommendations, we bought the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper, and we've found it to... more
Pros
Great for nighttime feedings and changings; keeps baby nearby for exhausted parents
Cons
Difficult to unlock; mattress can seem noisy if baby bangs on it
Bottomline
Some minor kinks and a bit pricey, but a good product overall; especially helpful for those extremely tiring first few months -- the convenience saves you some much-needed energy!
Baby Product I would recommend the most if baby sleeps in your room!

I bought this when my daughter was about 4 months old because she was sleeping in our bed with us because I was breastfeeding her and it was just so much easier having her in bed with us. As she got older she was rolling all over and I always ended up... more
Pros
convenient for breastfeeding mother, great alternative to baby sleeping in bed, very secure
Cons
fabric can pill, cosleeper only useful attached on bed for about 5 months
Bottomline
Despite the negatives, I would recommend this product as a safe cosleeping alternative, it is wonderful to have your baby still at eye level, but not in your bed.

When I was expecting my twins, I decided that I wanted to try having them sleep in our room with us to help with bonding. I went out and invested in an Arms Reach Original Co-Sleeper because I thought that it would fit both babies, and still not take up... more
Pros
Sturdy, keeps baby next to you for nursing and bonding, attractive design
Cons
Heavy, expensive, difficult to assemble and disassemble
Bottomline
It didn't work for us, but might work out for you. A pack-n-play might be a better option.

Pros
Piece of mind.

Sheets do shrink if dried.
