Summary: Great Idea, but with drawbacks 2008-07-09
Comment: We have had the original Co-Sleeper for 2.5 years. Our first son slept in it for 2 months and then refused to sleep in it. Our second refused to sleep in it period (even padding it with a small quilt). I assume that they make it completely uncomfortable to help prevent SIDS (your baby might has well be laying on the floor because it is not padded very well at all). The fitted sheet cannot be dried in the dryer, which is inconvenient. Most of all, I hate assembling and disassembling this thing. I never complain about assembling toys, gadgets, playards, etc...but this thing is horrible. I actually beat it with a hammer when I took it down after my first child quit using it. It is now put away and I will never put it up again. The only good thing I will say about it is that it's extremely sturdy (probably why it's a pain to assemble). I would suggest scouting ebay, yard sales, and second-hand stores instead of buying a new one. It is not worth $200.

Summary: Pointless 2008-05-03
Comment: Perhaps if our baby had been interested in sleeping in it, it would have been somewhat useful. But the assembly/disassembly is so impossible as to render the product worse than useless as it takes up valuable time. Given the mixture of reviews, I can only think that there's variation in the manufacturing so that some of the cosleepers end up with locking mechanisms that simply don't work. PITA. The instructions are good for a laugh, but not much else.

Summary: Love the co-sleeper 2008-04-09
Comment: I researched sleeping options a LOT before my baby was born. I came across arm's reach and decided this would be the way to go for us. My baby took to the co-sleeper immediately...only to hate it a few days later. I completely gave up hope on the co-sleeper, hoping it wouldn't be a complete waste seeing as I could use it as a play pen. At about 4 months, my little girl decided she liked the co-sleeper after all and she has been sleeping in it ever since. I love having her so close to me and night time feedings are a breeze.
Just because Arm's reach talks about easy night time feedings does not mean that your baby is going to magically appear by your side everytime you have to feed. You obviously have to lift him/her out of the co-sleeper to where you are sleeping. So, people looking not to move a muscle at all to get your baby fed at night will have to keep looking. For others, this is SO much better than dragging your groggy self to the crib and lifting the baby out. I absolutely love the arm's reach co-sleeper and will be keeping it after my baby's done with it for when I have my next!
pros:
1. Having baby close to you, knowing she/he is safe and only an arm's reach away.
2. Feeding in the night. You don't have to get out of bed AT ALL.
3. Waking up to that beautiful sleeping face in the morning, nothing beats that!
4. Can be used as a stand alone bassinet and changing table, too.
5. Converts to a play pen for when baby grows out of the co-sleeper position. (holds up to 30lbs as a co-sleeper and up to 50lbs as a play pen)
cons:
1. The terrible sheet. Coarse and thin. Instead, I use Eddie Bauer's playpen sheet. Eddie BauerŪ Quilted Playpen Sheet - Ecru They fit perfectly, wash really well, are soft, thick and cheaper than the co-sleeper sheets. To keep baby safe, I also added the basic comfort sleep positioner. Basic Comfort Sleep Soundly My little girl stays on her back through the night and I sleep with peace of mind.
2. Yes, it takes up quite a bit of space next to your bed, making getting out of bed a little bit of a challenge. I had quite a difficult time maneuvering myself out of bed every morning right after the delivery but I'd definitely choose that over getting up and walking, on very little sleep, to baby's crib everytime she cried or wanted to be fed. It just depends on what's more important to you. After a month or two, I got used to it.
3. Packing it up into its bag is a huge struggle.
4. I wish they had a higher weight limit.

Summary: Hard to dissasemble 2008-03-26
Comment: Despite the fact that the product serves its purpose being a compact co-sleeper, I just cannot recommend it to my friends as it is very hard to dissasemble. Why not make it easier for an adult to operate (yet child-proof) so that it's easier to take apart?

Summary: Didn't work for us. 2007-12-30
Comment: I wanted this product to work for us, but I think the baby has slept in it only for a few hours here and there. We've finally converted it to an independent unit/play yard and it's in the living room. It's a useful place to put the baby to play every now and again, but that's it. I think it's a good idea, it just didn't work for us. My main complaint though is that it was one of the most convoluted things to put together!!!!
