1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper
In the early days of co-sleeping, a novel idea, a mother-and-father team formed Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that allowed parents to comfortably sleep with their infants. It was the very first bedside cot that allowed babies to sleep together without falling or suffocating into the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in widespread use today, with over 25 years of history and no reported deaths or injuries.
It includes a fitted sheet and an infant bassinet. The bassinet can be used for infants up to five months old, or until they begin climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is available as a bassinet which can be used as a stand-alone unit or attached to the parent's mattress with the strap and plate that come with it. It's simple to switch between the two modes using a simple pulling of a string but be aware that it doesn't meet the federal standards for a bed that is attached so your child shouldn't be left unattended in this arrangement of sleeping.
McKenna was also impressed with the Co-Sleeper’s accessibility. She said it is easy to get your baby into and out of the bassinet from the comfort of your bed for feedings at night or for other requirements.
