Arm's Reach Mini Classic Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Toffee

We loved this product and used it till our daughter was old enough to pull herself out. Even after 8 months of use and a move into a new house this is still in great condition. It looks brand new. We will be using this our other children too. The only regret is that we sometimes wish that we would have purchased the full-size co-sleeper instead of the mini. Not because of the size but so that we could have lowered the bed to make it like a pack n play. Regardless, we love this and highly recommend it.

I chose this co-sleeper over a regular bassinet mainly because the weight limit was 25 lbs as opposed to 15 lbs in most bassinets. Plus the sleep surface was larger since it has a rectangular shape and I would be able to use it for longer. I soon realized the many other benefits. It has a large storage area underneath where you can store packs of diapers and wipes and pockets on each side for easy access which has been great for late night changings. The size of it is great for smaller spaces. Your baby and everything you need for him is truly at "Arm's Reach" and if you had a c-section you will surely appreciate this. Plus, it is very easy to move around the house.

I love it!! I place this right next to our bed and it makes breastfeeding at night so much easier!! The only thing is, I wish it came with 4 wheels so it can move easier across the carpet.

I've actually been meaning to write a review on this product. I got this as a gift after i unexpectedly delivered my second child early. I had a C-section and i have to say if it weren't for this co-sleeper, my recovery time would have doubled I am sure. I breastfed for 8 months and I really think this Product helped for a fantastic start to all of that, IT was perfect size for my bed I put him right next to me, I could see him, hear him, and Pick him up when he needed to be fed and changed, the storage on the sides and under the bed are awesome! I am sure this product isn't for everyone, but it was perfect for me! I can't wait to use it with the new baby!

This is a fantastic idea and concept, however the execution is poor. I think prisoners in Alcatraz had softer mattresses. I understand the need for a firm mattress for SIDS prevention, but truly this is like sleeping on cardboard with cement underneath. I can not get my daughter to sleep in this cosleeper, she wakes up almost every time I set her down in it. I tried adding blankets underneath the fitted sheet to provide some extra padding, but it still has not improved it much.
Also, one aspect that concerns me...the side that faces the bed doesn't have mesh the whole way across, some of the side is solid fabric. My daughter always wiggles over to that side (the few times i can get her to stay asleep) because she is so restless, and ends up smashing her face into it. Because it's not all mesh on that side, I'm concerned she will suffocate!

this bassinet was the most practical thing we purchased... It has worked great... It pulls right up to the bed, is sturdy and safe, and big enough to have everything at arms reach. (diapers, change of clothes ect) Deff worth the money!! (and it folds to go)

I thought this would be one of the most important items we would get, but it turns out a regular bassinet would have worked just as well for us, here's why: 1. I didn't end up breast feeding, so the whole idea of rolling over and feeding the baby right there, didn't work out. 2. We had the co-sleeper all set up, connected to the bed with the side down, but when we brought our baby home the first night I panicked because I thought "what if I push the comforter or pillow into the babies bed since it is open to ours?!" So we closed the side & moved it about a foot away from our bed and have only used it as a regular bassinet since. I do love the storage on the bottom!

It was a little hard to set up and take down by myself. And I didn't like the fold creases in the mattress. It was sturdy and if it had more uses, such as a playpen in the bottom; I would have kept it. But I returned it lieu of the new pack and plays with the newborn bed.

My heart sank when I saw this in the store--it's dinky, low to the ground and looks like something I'd keep potatoes in and not my baby. This is very expensive for something that is so ugly AND you have to buy $22 extensions to make it work with your bed. Get this model instead!! Arm's Reach Clearvue Co-sleeper, Natural, only $99---with BUILT-IN extenders and $40 less cost and you save the additional $22, same size and beautiful. I don't know why they still sell this model. Especially since its the only one they carry In-store. :(
