What Others Say
Triplet Mama's Dream!
I co-slept with my older children, but when I had 3 at once, I had to look at alternatives. For the first 2 months I swaddled the triplets, lined them up on the co-sleeper and they slept right beside me. It was WONDERFUL to have them right there. I got as much sleep as possible as a mommy of newborn triplets.
The only thing I would change is the mattress pad is very hard, but the babies did not seem to mind.
Team the co-sleeper up with the "Miracle Blanket" and you have a WONDERFUL combination!!!!!
I can't tell you how much I LOVED this!!
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, using the Arms Reach Co-Sleeper. I felt so much better knowing that she was right next to me, but without the fear of smothering her etc. It was so much more convenient to not have to actually fully sit up or get up to get to her in the middle of the night, if she needed her paci, I could just reach over and find it. Breast feeding her was so much easier, neither of us fully woke up LOL. It just felt very natural and safe for me to actually be able to see her beautiful sleeping face whenever I looked over to make sure she was OK. I plan on using it again for the next one due in April!!
Not worth the price
I thought Arm's Reach Natural Original Co-Sleeper would be excellent for my newborn daughter. It seemed like a great way to keep her close for midnight feedings. However, it arrived without directions, was complicated to set up and take down, and doesn't seem to be that comfortable for her. It also makes it difficult to get out of bed due to its size and inability to move. I wish I would have read more reviews and purchased something less expensive.
Great Idea, but with drawbacks
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 ... Read More
Pointless
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.
