Co-sleeper since RNP are a no for preemies

We had planned on using RNPs as bassinets for our twins.  They were born at 33 weeks and may come home this weekend :) The NICU staff is recommending we not use the RNP for awhile due to the incline.

Can anyone recommend a cosleeper?  I liked the Brica because its so portable, but its not that breathable.  Phil and teds had a decent one and Summer Infant brand did as well.  I'm leaning towards the Summer Infant by your side sleeper because its all mesh sides and its only $70. I'd rather not spend a ton on something I hope we wont use that long.

    We liked our Arms Reach Original Cosleeper (even if we didn't end up using it that long since we found we couldn't sleep in the same room as our super noisy babies ;) ). You could probably get a good deal on a used one on CL if you're willing to go that route.

    I used RNP's with my 33 weekers..no issues.  If anything the incline helped since they had reflux.  What is the NICU's reasoning for not being on an incline?

    Mine were born at 34 weeks, but no one said anything to me about the RNP. It's worked fine for us.

    maybe it depends on the preemie? ours have reflux issues and the pedi rec the RNP and the NICU said it was fine too.
