When I had DS 7 years ago I swore the one thing I'd spend extra on next time would be an Arms Reach CoSleeper to make those night time nursings just a bit easier than it was with our bassinet. Now I'm seeing posts about the Rock N Play sleeper as being a great alternative to a bassinett. Any thoughts or preferences on either?

A co-sleeper and a rock n' play are very different and would depend on your preference. I used a RnP for DD and LOVED it. We will use it again as co-sleeping makes me nervous (personal preference because DH and I are heavy sleepers).

I have read a ton of reviews and the head issue really freaked me out. Although its to common it does happen and not willing to risk it.

I think I'm going to have a RnP for sitter's house and use arm's reach at my house. If reflux ends up being an issue it sounds like RnP is the best!

We used a RnP for DS and he was sleeping in 4 hours stretches by 2 weeks old. We did start to have head issues, but my pedi suggested this product (coupled with more tummy time) and DS never needed a helmet. He started sitting up on his own a month or
