Cosleeper - weight limit?

mcgee · March 2010

Does anyone have the Arm's Reach cosleeper? If so, what is the weight limit on it? DS is about to outgrow the PnP bassinet in terms of weight, and with a queen sized bed, we feel very crowded having him in the actual bed with us. I'm looking for an alternative rather than moving him to his crib in his nursery.

We bought the Arm's Reach Mini - I believe the weight limit is 23lbs. I am not sure what the weight limit is for the original co-sleeper.

Yeah, the mini won't work for us - Alex is 19.65 pounds at 4 months old. Indifferent

You might try sidecarring the crib to your bed. DD slept in the Mini Arms Reach Co-sleeper until a week ago when we side-carred her crib to our bed. DD still fit in the co-sleeper at 3 1/2 months but it was obvious that she wouldn't fit in it much longer.

Right now he won't sleep in his crib at all. He rolls around in it and gets his arms and legs stuck in the bars. I don't know if he'd do better with it set up as a side-car against the bed. I guess we could try.

I actually tried to find out....Henry is about 18lbs and I wanted to make sure it was safe. When I looked in the maual that came with the co-sleeper, all I could find was that it can no longer be used as the co-sleeper (as opposed to the PNP set up) once the child can sit up on their own.

Henry can sit unassisted, but he can't pull himself to sitting yet. So I'm assuming we're safe (at least for a little while). If anyone else can find a poundage limit I'd like to hear it!!
