Who has it and what are your thoughts? I'm going crazy trying to get little one to sleep in his arms reach co-sleeper. How far away are the sides of the RnP from baby's head? Tell me everything!
we LOVE ours. we also have an arms reach but are not able to use it because of LO's acid reflux...she needs to be upright. So the RnP is awesome. It kind of snuggles her in so she goes right to sleep and if she wakes up and gets wiggly, it rocks with her body movement and gets her back to sleep. it's lightweight so it can be moved very easily from one room to the next which is good for us because i have her nap in her nursery and sleep at night in our room. As for the sides of the RnP...there is plenty of room between the baby's head and the sides...and the sides are vented so I never worry about her not getting air.
the only thing that is annoying is that you have to buckle your LO in, which means swaddling is hard because the strap needs to go between the legs...but i just swaddle her arms and upper body, leave her legs free so that i can strap her in and then tuck a blanket around her legs.

I pulled the straps through the bottom and lay a cloth diaper over the one that is supposed to go through the legs. He isn't going anywhere in that thing (it is so deep), so I am not worried about at the moment.
I just bought mine yesterday after having enough with not sleeping due to her HAVING to sleep in bed with us. And I got to say....its been AMAZING. i lay her in it and she stays asleep which is shocking!! I dont know what kind of powers this thing has but i like them!!! I havent used the straps yet cuz i swaddle and its not like she can get outta it. Its pretty deep. So i'd say find a target or whatever that sells it by you and give it a shot atleast. If you dont like it you can just return it. That was my plan. But if tonight goes as nicely as last. this thing will go EVERYWHERE with me!

i love mine. never use the buckle and it has been fine. i add a stroller blanket to it so that the strap doesnt bother dd.
