Arm's Reach Universal Co-Sleeper Bedside Cot |
|
The Arm's Reach® Co-Sleeper® Bedside Cot creates a safe, dedicated environment for baby, while keeping them within arm's reach, so parent and child receive all the benefits of a traditional co-sleeping relationship;
-reduced risk of Cot Death
-supported breastfeeding. Mum can breastfeed during the night without getting out of bed, enhancing the likelihood of a successful breast feeding relationship. Proximity of mum and baby is shown to be directly related to successful milk flow.
-increased bonding. If a child is restless, mum can simply reach over and comfort them. Research shows considerable benefits from a quick response to a baby's needs.
- Mother can nurse or feed baby as soon as baby stirs, but is not fully awake, which means that baby goes back to sleep more quickly, and so does mum!
-recovery from a caesarean section or a difficult birth is eased as you can fully care for your baby right from bed. Deep, sturdy pockets hold all you need . . . nappies, creams, wipes, muslins, etc.;
with none of the perceived bed-sharing risks. Evidence shows that an along side cot provides the safest form of sleeping arrangements for you and your baby.
Attaching securely to most beds, it offers a safe, separate sleeping environment for one or two babies while being only an arm's reach away from the parent for comfort, feeding and bonding. Each Co-Sleeper® has four convenient side storage pockets and comes with a mattress and one 100% cotton fitted sheet as standard. The Co-Sleeper® is suitable from birth until the baby is able to repeatedly roll back and forth or reach up to the sidewalls and roll / crawl onto the bed. It can sustain a weight of up to 30 lbs. It is recommended, however, that a baby is never left unattended in the Arm's Reach® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet.
The bedside cot also converts into:
- a free standing bassinet
- a playpen
- a changing table
- a travel cot
making it excellent value for money and adding to its uniqueness.
When a play pen is a necessity, the unit converts into a handsome and sturdy playpen suitable for children 1½ - 2 years of ages, depending on their size and weight,
with a double trampoline floor and industry-approved safety locking arms. It is not intended for use by children old enough to climb out. Maximum weight allowance is 50 pounds.
The unit will also easily convert to a convenient changing table or free standing bassinet that can be moved easily to any part of the house.
The entire Co-Sleeper®, changing table and playpen fold up into a 10" x 10" x 32" nylon carrying case with a sturdy carrying strap. The Arm's Reach® Co-Sleeper® bedside cot is accepted as hold baggage on most airlines.
The Arm's Reach® Universal Co-Sleeper® bedside cot can accommodate adult bed heights from 18", 20", 22" & 24". It attaches to any bed width from a single to a super king (and even wider, if necessary!). If additional height is required an extra set of leg extensions can be purchased which will increase the height by up to another 6 inches.
The co-sleeper's framework is made of white powder coated hollow steel tubing. The fabric that makes up the sides and bottom of the playpen and the carry bag is a strong nylon cloth. The liner for the Co-Sleeper® cot is made of a washable cotton polyester blend. The securing straps for attaching the Co-Sleeper® to the adult bed are made of 1" nylon woven strapping.
The Co-Sleeper® bedside cot is 40" x 28" x 31" and has a weight limit of 30 lbs in the co-sleeping position and 50 lbs when used as a playpen.
The Arm's Reach® Universal Co-Sleeper® bedside cot meets all appropriate UK child safety standards.
-Endorsed and used by sleep expert Elizabeth Pantley and endorsed by baby expert Dr. William Sears, this award-winning cot is one of the safest, most beautiful ways to co-sleep.
The Mini Arm's Reach Bedside Cot
A smaller version of the Original Cot. The Mini Co-Sleeper® Bassinet is one of the safest ways to co-sleep in those first important months. It attaches to most adult beds to create a dedicated sleeping space for baby, while keeping them within arm’s reach. Perfect for safe co-sleeping, breastfeeding, and helpful in C-Section recovery, the Mini is portable and converts from a Co-Sleeper® bassinet to a free-standing bassinet.
The Mini has two caster wheels make it easier to move around the house. The Mini also has a built in liner, very few parts, and is simple to set up and break down. Includes travel bag. Cot size is 34"x 20"x31 and it accommodates babies up to 24 lbs and is useable from birth through when the baby is able to pull up (approximately 0-6/7 months).
Endorsed by International baby expert and author, Dr. William Sears, baby sleep specialist and author, Dr. James McKenna, and baby sleep author Elizabeth Pantley.
The Arm's Reach Leg Extensions are for use with the Mini, Original and Universal Co-Sleeper.
The Leg Extension Kit raises the Co-Sleeper in 2" increments from 24" (normal bed height) to 30" (pillow top bed height). When full 6" extensions are used, they allow for comfortable use as a changing table.
Arm's Reach recommends only one Leg Extension be used per Co-Sleeper.

Kept me sane! |

| My five month old twins are still in the co-sleeper and during those early months of waking all through the night with two newborns, it kept me from completely losing my mind through total and utter sleep deprivation. I would suggest getting the leg extensions so you can get it exactly the same height as your bed to allow easier access. The fitted sheet it comes with is difficult and fiddly to remove and the mattress a bit firm but this can be overcome by adding a thick blanket and then another sheet on the top which can be changed more easily. However it does mean you can have all the benfits of co-sleeping safely with two babies. It gives great peace of mind and means that now when I am woken for night feeds I can pretty much do it in my sleep. Money well spent for all the hours of extra sleep! |

Good for twins |

| Am currently expecting twins, so not actually used the co-sleeper yet. However it is a very sturdy and heavy product but i see this as reassuring. Its larger than i expected even with the known dimension its difficult to picture until you see it but again im glad of the size as hopefully that will mean the twins can stay in it longer.
Although heavy, the sleeper does compact to quite a nice travel size and we are more than happy to use it as a travel cot.
There are variable height options and the nice cream colour makes it look very cosy. Cant wait for my twins to try it out!! |

| Very disappointed - the full size model is very large, quite hard and fiddly to put up and take down, which deters use as a travel cot, and the mattress is hard, thin and covered in a material that rustels against the sheet. I wanted a co-sleeper in order to aid night time feeding and to be able to pick up the baby easily but this model has a raised edge next to the bed, which defeats the whole object i.e. you still have to sit up to pick up the baby, making very little difference between this particular co-sleeper and having a moses basket next to the bed. |

| Very practical for night time feeds and being able to check on my baby easily during the night. My baby thrashes around a lot and because there are no bars he does hurt himself or get his legs or arms trapped which happens in the crib I have in my living room. He also seems very contented in it next to me. |

| I bought this from another supplier - but have used with both my babies - its is great - bigger than a moses basket so easy to have baby in your room for longer, lovely to have the baby so near by especially for those frequent night feeds, and if you have had a section then its especailly good, and you can use it as a mini travel cot as well. the only downsides are the mattress on mine wasnt very comfortable we bought another one, and its expensive for what it is - hence 4 stars not 5 |
