I LOVE this item, but you have to get the leg extensions from Arm's Reach if you have a high bed. Ours is very tall, and the first few days home from the hospital we did not have the leg extensions. I forgot to order them in my baby brain state.
Without the extensions, it did not work well at all. I had a C section, so I could not move well. I could not lift our baby out of the cosleeper because it was too low and I didn't have the stomach muscles to lift my upper body back up once I leaned over. So, to get the baby, I had to get out of bed & pick him up, and once he was asleep, I had to get back up to put him down, usually waking him in the process.
Five days after we got home, we got the extensions in the mail, and that made all the difference. My husband said he didn't see how it would help, but he quickly noticed the difference. Now I can comfort my son without getting up, & he quickly goes back to sleep.

We love the Co-sleeper Bassinet!!! We have it at our bedside and it attaches perfectly to our bed...My 6 month old loves her new bed and especially that's she's able to sleep so close to mommy's bed.... She moves alot while sleeping and has plenty of space to do so. It is sturdy and nice!

I bought this co-sleeper for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. There is ample storage for supplies but more importantly it helps my daughter to get a better nights rest. The shipping was fast and inexpensive. Most beds are too tall for this co-sleeper, but don't get suckered into buying the leg extensions from
Arm's Reach they are very over-priced and you can pick up bed risers that will work well at most department or discount stores.

Ever since I saw this, I wanted one. I loved the idea of having my baby right next to me without actually being in our bed. She was close for night time feedings and I didn't have to get out of bed to peak at her or comfort her. Then it turned out that our baby had sleep apnea and had to be on a monitor for six months. Having her within reach was literally a lifesaver for those times when the monitor wasn't enough to rouse her to breathe. She's 15 months old now, but the Co-Sleeper is in storage, waiting for our next child.
