Bassinet, Arm's Reach, or Rock n Play?

kcam · March 2012

Someone lent us a bassinet but its super bulky and doesn't fit right next to our bed. I will have to sit up to get baby out of it and it just doesn't seem very practical. I'm trying to decide if it would be better to buy an Arm's Reach co sleeper or the Fisher Price Rock N Play? I like the Arm's Reach but its expensive and I wonder if its worth it when we already have the bassinet? Also, people seem to like the Rock n Play and its a lot cheaper and more mobile, but also low next to my bed. If I got the Rock N Play, would it also be good to have a bouncer seat?

I bought my Arm's Reach used for $50. I wish I would have had it from day 1. I really like it.

This. We didn't get our cosleeper until about 2 weeks ago. Although, I still have to sit up to get my baby out of the cosleeper.

Also, we have the rock n play, and we love it. DH has had great success with it for putting LO down for naps. The RNP is cheap enough where you could get both.

I loved our Rock N Play sleeper. Can't wait to have it again (we lent it out to a friend).

LOVE the AR. If you have room, don't get the mini. DD is almost 6 months and already outgrowing it. We don't have a RnP.

Bassinets are so cute, but I would still get the Arm's Reach. If I had one, I'd put the bassinet in the living room or something, as a place to be in that room.

We have both. Our Lucy Grace

didn't like either and needed to be in bed with us until she was about six months. She has been in her crib in her room for the past few months now. Hoping that Thomas Peter will like one of them! I think that the Rock N'Play is cheap enough that you could get both.

I got my arms reach clear vue from Walmart for $100. I love it, but like PPs I wish I got it sooner. We also have the RnP but use it for naps.

I wish I would have gotten the arm's reach. My LO hated being on her back and it would have been so nice to have the option to put her on her belly in the co sleeper.
