Arms Reach Co-sleeper
4Moms Breeze Playyard

We have both of these on our registry but the Arms Reach is more for convenience for those first few months, and the 4Moms is for as the baby is growing up, especially to bring around with us to family and friend's homes.
After reading about BB gear for a week or two I realize they do overlap a lot but the comfort factor comes at different months.
Would a 4Moms be sufficient & comfy for baby to sleep at night those first months with the bassinet part at the top?

I don't have either of these. We have a Graco Pack n Play. I looked at both of these online and am familiar with both. The Arms Reach is basically a pack n play with a side that can fold down so you can put it right next to the bed. Yes, having both is probably redundant. Your baby can sleep in the bassinet part of the playard and it's the same thing except for being able to fold one side down. You could still pull it right up to the side of your bed if you want. It would take up a bit more room, but not by much. It wouldn't have the side that folds down, either, but to me, it seems you have to sit up at least a bit either way. The Arms Reach may be a little more convenient MOTN but that's it.
