Co-sleepers--which one?

EPQueen

I'm considering using a co-sleeper. Anyone have experience with either the Arm's Reach or the Summer Infant Rest Assured Co-sleeper? Things you liked/didn't like about either? Any information is appreciated:) TIA!

I have the arms reach and really like it. I like having baby near but having his own space. My first baby really liked it, my second wanted to be in bed with me.

The mini ARCS is perfect. I think the regular one is just WAY too big - for me. The cool thing about that new mini one is that is converts into a playpen. I didn't have that feature but I kept saying I wish they made it that way! And now they do.

We have the ARCS Mini and love it. DS slept in it well and I loved having him so close. I plan on using it again for the new LO. It's also very convenient to travel with so another plus!

love the full size one, which takes standard pnp sheets, so is about that size.  we use it as the downstairs crib and both babies fit in it great.  for us, the weight limit was the reason we wanted the original one.

I have the Arm's Reach Regular Co-Sleeper and LOVE it. I've used it for 5 years now... as a co-sleeper for both of my kids and then as a pnp when we travel. I loved having the kids next  to me for the first 6 months for nursing, but having them also be in a safe place of their own. I plan to use it again with this little one for sure!

I recommend the regular Arms Reach Co-Sleeper.  It is more versatile IMO, meaning that you can use it much longer.  It's great as a co-sleeper for infants and also as a pnp.  We have had LOs up to 3 years old sleep in it.

Both of my boys as infants always ended up in bed with us, even with the co-sleeper attached to the bed.  So we did not get much use out of it that way but did use it more as a pnp once they could sit up/crawl.

I feel like I would of wasted my money buying the mini because it would not work as well with toddlers.

We have the mini clear view aRCS. We don't have it attached to our bed. I love it because we can see through it. We don't always have to get up to check on the LOs .
