Arms Reach Co-Sleeper?

in Pregnant after a Loss
Anyone have or have experience with the Arms Reach Co-sleeper Bassinet?  We found one this weekend at a consignment store that is the full size version that converts into a play-yard. I can find reviews on the mini - but not the full and I'm really interested to hear if any of you have any experience.  I nursed my DD and I hope to do the same this time so keeping the LO in the room is the best option early on for me. TIA!

    I originally registered for the full-size, but couldn't find it in any brick-and-mortar stores around, so I switched it to the mini, which MIL bought for us. 

    That being said, it's still in the box (anything we set up right now would just turn into a very expensive deluxe cat bed), and obviously, we haven't used it yet, so I can't provide any feedback yet.

    We have the mini and LOVE it. I wish I got the full size just so I could have kept DD in it longer (she was in it for 10 months!!) because she was so squished at the end.

    It was super convenient to have her next to me for late night BF sessions. If she made any noise, I could easily reach over and rub her back or check for leaks/smell for poopy diapers without worrying about the MOTN accidents. Plus, it was just great having her so close to me since I had major anxiety about her being in her own room.

    Now, that being said, it was also a giant waste of space for the first 6 weeks or so. She slept in a bouncy chair on the other side of the bed because being flat was just not happening for her. She needed to be at an incline for the first few weeks and then gradually felt comfortable enough to lay flat.

    We will be using it with this LO as well.
