1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper

Arm's Reach was founded by a mother and father team in the days before co-sleeping was an everyday practice. They created a design that would allow parents to rest in a safe environment with their infants. It was the first bedside cot that allowed babies to sleep together without falling or suffocating into the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in widespread use in the present, with over 25 years of history and no reported injuries or deaths.

It is equipped with leg extensions to adjust for different mattress sizes and comes with a sheet and fitted cover. The bassinet is designed for infants from five to six months or until they begin pushing up on their knees and hands or bending their knees, whichever comes first. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as a bassinet that can be used on its own or can be attached to the parent's mattress with the included strap and plate. It's easy to transfer between the two modes with a simple pull of a string, however, you must be aware that it does not meet the federal standards for a bed that is attached which means your child should never be left alone in this sleeping arrangement.

McKenna was impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, noting that it's easy to lift infants into and out of the bassinet during middle-of-the-night feedings or other care requirements from your bed. He also praised the safety of the Co-Sleeper as it meets all crib and baby bassinet standards. It's been on the marketplace for decades and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" without any reported infant deaths or injuries.

The Clear-Vue wooden bedside cot cot was the most accessible of all the cots that we tried. Its swiveling sleeping area and adjustable height made it easier to get into and soothe your baby. Other models had lower sidewalls that required you to reach over and over or crouch down to reach your child, but not the Clear-Vue.

The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top choices that doesn't have a connection to a parent's bed, but it was a close second and far better than other beds we tried that were meant to be affixed to a bed for parents. It is sturdy and solid feel, and lots of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The sliding side panel can be adjusted and lowered with one hand. This makes it much easier to respond to late-night wakeup calls.

The crib is equipped with an adjustable, washable mattress. It's also lightweight and sturdy. It has four lockable wheels to help keep it in place, and is backed with a rubber-coated fabric to avoid scratches to the floor.

The adjustable height of the Roomie Glide is among its greatest features. You can adjust the legs to ensure that they are perfectly aligned with your baby's mattress. This is especially helpful when you're breastfeeding since it allows you to feed your baby close by without leaving your bed. The height can also reduce the chance of your child falling out of the crib.

Another handy feature is the built-in rocking feature that is perfect for babies. Two buttons on the side of the crib will trigger the baby's body in a gentle way that is soothing and comforting for your baby. You can select a slow or vigorous pace, and the glide feature can be locked after your baby has fallen asleep.

The only downside to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns and you'll have to upgrade to a bigger cot once your baby turns six months old (usually around the time they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be an excellent cot and would definitely recommend it.
