The Best Bedside Bassinet for Baby’s Sleep–and Yours
Time | March 27, 2024
Sleep is one of the perennial pursuits of new parents–safe, healthy sleep for their newborn as well as for themselves. As Time Magazine’s reviewers point out, the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® excels in both regards. Designed with visibility in mind, the Clear-Vue’s breathable mesh walls give parents unbeatable visibility of their child as they slumber. Easily movable and great as a freestanding bassinet, the Clear-Vue really shines when you lower its side and fasten it securely to your own bed, creating a safe sleeping environment for your little one that sits flush with your own bed. This allows seamless nighttime feeding and tending without having to get out of bed, resulting in better sleep for you and your baby. The enormous storage basket down below means that everything you need can be kept right there in reach, so you and your baby can get your needs met and drift back into a nice cozy sleep.
Still the Best in Its Category
New York Times Wirecutter | February 2, 2024
The market is full of bassinets, mini-cribs, and playards for parents looking for sleeping arrangements for an infant under six months of age. To help parents pick the best, the reviewers at Wirecutter tested ten of the top-selling baby bassinets according to sleep surface, stability, user-friendliness, and helpful features. The Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® earned the top spot in the bedside bassinet category for its simple, secure design that gives parents the option of securely attaching the sleeper to their own bed. Reviewers loved how easy the ultra-practical Clear-Vue makes nighttime feeding and tending, as well as its ample storage. To use the Clear-Vue as a freestanding bassinet, simply raise the breathable mesh wall, and it moves around easily on four caster wheels.
Tested and Proven in the Field
Forbes | January 29, 2024
Sometimes the best reviews come from real-life experiences. Alexandra Frost, a mother of five and contributor to Forbes, tested dozens of bassinets in her parenting journey, and has shared her findings with the world. Of the many bassinets she tested with her little ones, she named the Arm’s Reach Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper® the Best Bedside Bassinet of them all! She loved the compact but high-quality build, and the unparalleled access it gave her to her little one during the night, attaching securely to her own bed so she could feed and tend to them without getting up–a particular godsend while recovering from delivery. With all the Mini-Ezee’s plentiful storage, she was able to keep everything she needed right there with her baby, using the bassinet as a diaper-changing station.
The Best Bassinets in 2024
BabyList | January 18, 2024
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies sleep in the same room as their caregivers for the first six months. Bassinets are a great option–they have a smaller footprint than cribs, they’re easier to access for feeding and tending, and they’re much more moveable. A bedside sleeper like the Arm’s Reach Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper® goes one better, allowing you to secure your baby’s sleep space safely to your own, fostering closeness and allowing you to feed and tend to your little one without getting out of bed. BabyList rang in the new year with a roundup of bassinets, reviewing the state of the market at the head of 2024, and they named the Mini-Ezee 2-in-1 the best bedside bassinet they tested. Reviewers loved the safety-first orientation of Arm’s Reach’s model, and the flexibility of being able to convert it from bedside to freestanding. Plus, with plenty of storage space, the Mini Ezee lets you keep diapers, wipes, and extra swaddles close at hand.
Best Overall Bassinet for Babies
BabyGearLab | January 4, 2024
Baby Gear Lab rigorously tests infant and toddler products for safety and overall quality, and their comprehensive bassinet testing process evaluates performance on metrics such as breathability, ease of use, and the quality and stability of the build. Their reviewers named the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® bedside sleeper the Best Overall Bassinet out there, earning it the Editor’s Choice award. They love the Clear-Vue’s ability to secure safely to a parent’s bed, providing a distinct but contiguous sleeping space for infants that fosters connection and makes nighttime feeding and tending so much easier. The Clear-Vue also converts to a freestanding bassinet, moveable on four caster wheels. Testers called the included Arm’s Reach mattress “the best sleeping surface in the review,” and appreciated the Clear-Vue’s breathable mesh sides.
The Best of Both Worlds
Motherhood Community | November 29, 2023
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies under six months sleep in the same room as their parents or caregivers so they can be carefully monitored, but not in the same bed, to reduce the risk of SIDS. Many parents choose to use a bassinet during these early months to make keeping their baby close easier. For added closeness, many opt for a bedside sleeper. As Motherhood Community explains, many of these models are limited by their construction, and care must be taken to ensure baby’s safety. However, they single out Arm’s Reach and the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® in particular for providing the best of both worlds–bedside sleepers that secure safety to your own bed for the height of proximity, able to convert easily into free-standing baby bassinets for use elsewhere in your room or home on four caster wheels. In addition to the Clear-Vue’s versatility, they love the plentiful storage down below, so diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials go wherever the bassinet goes.
Must-Have Gifts for New & Prospective Parents
Controlled Confusion | November 29, 2023
Arm’s Reach revolutionized infant sleep and nighttime parenting when it introduced the first bedside sleeper over 25 years ago. Today, we’re staying at the head of the pack with thoughtful designs and quality construction. Arm’s Reach offerings like the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper®. Reviewers love the Cambria’s elegant design and breathable mesh sides, as well as the plentiful storage it provides, so you can keep diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials with you wherever the bassinet goes. Rolling on four caster wheels, the Cambria can be moved from room to room as a free-standing bassinet. Or, lower its side and secure it safely to your own bed to create a perfect sleeping space for your infant, increasing nighttime bonding and making tending to their needs easy–particularly helpful for parents who are breastfeeding or recovering from c-section.
Getting Restful Sleep with a Newborn
Baby Gaga | November 25, 2023
Newborns wake often in the night for feeding and tending. Their little stomachs can’t hold very much, so they need to be fed around the clock. For this and many other reasons, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants sleep in the same room as their parents or caregivers. Bassinets help many parents do this more easily, as they are more movable that cribs, and take up less space. But to truly get the best night’s healthy sleep for both you and your new baby, reviewers at Baby Gaga named the Arm’s Reach Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® a prospective parent’s best bet. They love the stylish Cambria’s versatility. Lower its breathable mesh side, and you can attach it securely to your own bed, creating a sleeping space for your baby that sits flush with your own bed. This allows you to feed and tend to your baby without getting out of bed, and the added closeness fosters a closer emotional connection with the newest member of your family. Simply raise the side again, and the Cambria makes an excellent free-standing bassinet, with plentiful storage space so diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials go wherever it does!
Expert Recommendation for Baby’s First Sleep
Study Finds | November 24, 2023
When looking for a bassinet for your newborn, experts recommend prioritizing sturdy construction and breathable materials for safety. Adjustability and versatility are also important, for making your life easier. With this in mind, the researchers at Study Finds collated a list of the best bassinets out there. They absolutely loved the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper®. “You know it’s the best when it’s from the brand that literally invented the term… and made it a thing.” They gave the Clear-Vue high marks for the versatility of being able to attach it securely to your bed, lowering the side and creating a perfect baby sleeping space alongside yours, allowing you to feed and tend your child during the night without getting up. The increased attention, as well as the emotional bonding that comes with it, is good for your baby, and eases your own night’s rest as well.
Recommendations from a Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Mom Junction | November 24, 2023
Bassinets provide a safe environment for newborns to sleep at night as well as throughout the day. More versatile than cribs, bassinets can be moved more easily, and fit better into parents’ own bedroom. This is important, as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants under six months of age sleep in the same room as their parents (but not in the same bed). However, once that baby can push themselves up on their elbows, they should be moved to a crib, even if that comes before six months. In those early months, it’s important to pick a quality bassinet with a good, firm mattress. Lay them to sleep on their back, and make sure the bassinet is free of blankets and other suffocation hazards. Sleep consultants favor versatile bassinets like the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® from Arm’s Reach. The Cambria attaches securely to your own bed, and its side comes down, creating a safe contiguous sleep space for baby that allows you to tend to their needs throughout the night without getting out of bed, providing better sleep for both of you. Raise the breathable mesh side again, and the Cambria moves easily from room to room in your home as a free-standing bassinet on four caster wheels–and the plentiful storage basket comes with it, so diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials are always near at hand.
Gifts for New and Prospective Parents
Salty & Stylish | November 17, 2023
Family and friends are often eager to lavish gifts on new parents, from cute onesies to books they remember from their own childhood. But Salty & Stylish (a.k.a. Tools 2 Tiaras) urges some thought on practicality in the crucial first months of parenthood. Newborns bring big changes to a household, and helping both infants and their parents adjust can be the biggest gift of all. In particular, the gift of safe, healthy sleep is one that new families will appreciate like no other. Enter the bedside sleeper. Bedside baby bassinets like the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® from Arm’s Reach secure safely to the side of parents’ bed. The side lowers, creating a safe sleep space for newborns that lies flush, allowing for nighttime feeding and caring while both parent and baby remain in bed. This can be a real godsend in those early months, as baby wakes for frequent feedings–especially for parents who are breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. A large storage basket underneath ensures that everything parents need during the night is right there with the bassinet. And as baby grows toward more independent sleep, the Cambria’s breathable mesh side can be raised back up, and it moves easily from room to room on four caster wheels.
The Best Practical Finds For New Parents
Medium | November 17, 2023
Zipporah’s has curated a list of some of the best gift ideas around if you’re shopping for new and prospective parents. At the top of their list, they endorse the whole line of bedside sleepers made by Arm’s Reach. Bedside baby bassinets like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® attach securely to your own bed, creating a safe sleeping space for your baby that lets you feed and tend to them during the night without getting out the bed. The result: better sleep for you and them! The increased closeness also fosters lasting bonds with your child. As your baby grows and becomes more independent during the night, you can raise the breathable mesh side and move the Clear-Vue around your room, or from room to room in your home, on its four caster wheels. And all the supplies you need to care for baby go with it, with its spacious storage basket for diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials.
Stress-Free Travel with New Babies
Chatty Patty’s | November 13, 2023
Traveling with a new baby can be quite an undertaking. Here, you’ve just spent all this time nesting and perfecting your own home for your newest family member’s arrival, and now you have to try to translate that perfect comfort and routine to a new environment. One of the most important considerations is sleep while you’re away from home. The extremely versatile Ideal Ezee™ 3-in-1 Co-Sleeper® is perfect for those early months, both at home and while traveling. This easy-to-assemble bedside bassinet is compact, and secures sidecar-style to your own bed to create a safe sleeping space for your infant, so you can feed and tend them during the night without getting up. Simply raise the Ideal Ezee’s breathable mesh side, and it makes an excellent free-standing bassinet as well. Not only that, but it converts easily into a play yard during the day, so you’ve got a safe space for them during the day, even after they’ve graduated from using a bassinet. The whole thing folds into the included travel bag, so you’ve got everything you need for your baby’s nighttime and daytime space needs with you, wherever you go!
Some Love for the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet
Experienced Mommy | November 8, 2023
Bed-sharing can be tempting for tired new parents, but the American Academy of Pediatrics stresses that infants should always sleep in their own bed to minimize the risks associated with sleeping with parents. This month, Experienced Mommy explored safe alternatives to bed-sharing, and the Arm’s Reach Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® got their highest marks. Reviewers love the Cambria for providing all the attractions–while avoiding the risks–of sharing a sleeping space. The Cambria attaches securely and safely to your own bed. Lower the breathable mesh side, and you’ve got a perfect flush sleeping space for your baby that keeps them protected and lets you feed and tend to them during the night without getting out of bed. The Cambria even has both a storage pocket and a spacious basket underneath so that bottles, diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials are also close at hand. As your baby matures to more independent sleep, you can raise the breathable mesh side once again and move the Cambria about on four caster wheels.
Baby Safety in a Confusing Marketplace
USA Wire | October 30, 2023
The market for baby products is crowded with products vying for the attention of new parents, and of course, some are of better quality than others. To help parents sort through the noise, USA Wire has gathered some choice picks for infants, based on safety and quality. At the very top of their list is Arm’s Reach, a brand pediatricians and parents alike have come to depend on and trust over the years for our attention to detail and high quality designs. Arm’s Reach bedside bassinets like the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® provides the perfect distance between parents in bed and their sleeping newborn. Attaching securely to your own bed, the side of the Cambria comes down to create a safe space flushed with your mattress so that you can feed and tend to your infant without getting out of bed. This allows for the best possible sleep for both you and your little one, forging a deeper emotional bond and allowing you to tend to their needs throughout the night without getting out of bed. As they age toward more independent sleep, the Cambria’s breathable mesh side can be raised and the bassinet moved about on its four caster wheels. And with plentiful storage underneath, diapers and other baby necessities travel with the Cambria.
SIDS and Safe Sleeping Practices
Beautiful Moms | October 24, 2023
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is a rare but frightening condition in which seemingly-healthy infants under one year old die unexpectedly, usually in their crib, affecting 0.093% of infants in the US. Declines in SIDS have been linked to improved sleeping practices, such as putting infants to bed on their backs, with no blankets or other potential suffocation hazards in the crib with them. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends infants sleep in the same room as their parents or caregivers, but not in the same sleeping space. Beautiful Moms highlights the benefits of using a bedside baby bassinet for infants under six months, the oldest and most trusted of which are those built by Arm’s Reach. Bedside sleepers like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® attach securely to your own bed, creating a safe sleeping surface for baby that sits flush but distinct from your own. Nighttime feeding and tending in this fashion is easier, allowing you to remain in bed, and the closeness forges deeper emotional bonds. With the spacious storage basket underneath, everything you need to meet your child’s nighttime needs is close at hand, allowing both of you to get better, healthier sleep.
Best of the Bump Baby Bassinets
The Bump | October 16, 2023
Bassinets provide an excellent space for smaller infants to sleep, more convenient and mobile than cribs, allowing them to be moved about. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that newborns up to six months sleep in the same room as their parent or caregiver, and bassinets make this much easier. Bedside sleepers like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® carry the added benefit of letting you secure your baby’s sleep surface safely to your own. The Clear-Vue’s breathable mesh side can be lowered, creating a sleep surface for them that keeps them safe and close. Especially for parents recovering from c-section, or breastfeeding a hungry newborn, this can be a real lifesaver, allowing for nighttime tending without getting out of bed. Then, simply raise the side again and you can move the Clear-Vue from place to place in your home on its caster wheels, making it convenient for naptime or as your child ages toward more independent sleep. And with the plentiful storage underneath, diapers and other baby essentials go everywhere the Clear-Vue goes.
Baby Gear Lab’s Year in Reviews
BabyGearLab | October 5, 2023
Nobody has comprehensively tested as many baby products as Baby Gear Lab, and as 2023 drew to a close, they assembled their top products into an omnibus list to help new and prospective parents choose the best products for their growing family. Their pick for the very best bassinet they tested was the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® from Arm’s Reach. They love the versatility of the Clear-Vue, which allows you to lower its side and attach it securely to your bed, creating a safe sleep space for your baby that allows you to tend to them during the night without getting up. Raise the side, and the Clear-Vue makes an excellent free-standing bassinet, wheeling easily from room to room as needed on four caster wheels. Reviewers also gave kudos to the breathable mesh of the walls, which allow you to see your baby from across the room, and the excellent Arm’s Reach mattress that comes with it.
The Very Best Baby Bassinets of 2023
October 4, 2023 | Miami Herald
Reviewers at the Miami Herald absolutely love the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® bedside bassinet, naming it to their list as the best in terms of sleep quality and storage capacity. They love how easily the Clear-Vue can serve as both a bedside sleeper and a free-standing bassinet that moves easily from room to room. And the large storage basket down below wins high marks from experienced parents, who know the value of keeping diapers, wipes, and other baby essentials close at hand. The Clear-Vue’s breathable mesh lets you keep an eye on your baby from across the room, and in bedside mode, both you and baby will get the best, least-interrupted sleep possible, bonding as you sleep in close proximity.
Bassinet Safety for New Parents
Parents Guide | September 22, 2023
Bassinets are a great choice for newborns. A bedside sleeper like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® from Arm’s Reach can help parents and infants alike get better, healthier sleep. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends infants sleep in the same room as their parents, but importantly, not on the same bed. Attaching securely to your bed, the Clear-Vue creates a distinct sleep surface for your baby while allowing you to have easy access to baby when they fuss at night, without getting up. And it serves as an excellent free-standing bassinet as well, moving about easily on four caster wheels. When choosing a bassinet for your family, there are a few things you want to keep in mind. Keep the bassinet clear of any potential hazards, including blankets and toys. Well-fitted sheets are important, as loose sheets can pose a suffocation hazard. Make sure the bassinet is on stable, even ground, and when attaching a bedside sleeper, make sure to follow the instructions to make sure the connection is secure. When you put baby down, remember “Back to Sleep” – infants should be put to sleep on their backs to minimize the risk of SIDS. Keep the room in which baby sleeps nice and cool. And always follow age guidelines; bedside sleepers like the Clear-Vue should only be used for the first five months of life, or until the child begins to put up on hands and knees, whichever comes first.
Sleep Training with a Bedside Bassinet
Baby Sleep Site | September 6, 2023
Using a bedside bassinet to keep your baby close at night is not a sleep-training method per se, but bedside sleepers like the Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper® can play a role in helping your baby learn to sleep with minimal intervention. Newborns need to feed frequently, and a bedside bassinet can help you feed them with minimal waking on your part and theirs. But as they grow, you may want to become more sparse with your nighttime feedings. Try to move feeding time further from bedtime, so they associate bedtime more with sleep than food. Gradually substitute nighttime feedings with a pacifier or with gentle tending and soothing to help them go back to sleep when they wake in the night. This takes patience and should be done gradually, as your baby’s stomach grows and they need less frequent feedings to stay full. As your baby grows, they should become less accustomed to nighttime feedings, and will gradually learn to self-soothe in the night. Many parents find that a night light or a white noise machine helps their child feel more “grounded” when they wake in the night, making their self-soothing easier.
The Best Bassinets, According to a Pediatric Sleep Consultant
Mom Junction | September 5, 2023
Bassinets provide a safe and comfortable place for babies in their early months. Many parents opt to put baby to sleep in a bassinet rather than a crib during these formative months, in order to keep them closer. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that new babies sleep in the same room as their parents, but not in the same bed. Mom Junction recommends the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® bedside bassinet in these early months. The Cambria has a spacious sleeping surface and a large storage basket underneath, so diapers and other supplies can be kept with it as you move it about your house on its four caster wheels. Best of all, you can secure the Cambria to your own bed and lower one of the breathable mesh walls to create a sleep surface close to your own, easing nighttime feeding and tending without getting up. This allows for healthier, happier sleep for both you and your baby.
Mom Loves Best Loves the Cambria
Mom Loves Best | September 3, 2023
With such a wide array of bassinets available, reviewers at Mom Loves Best wanted to make choosing one for your family easier. They named the Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® as their pick for the Best Bedside Bassinet. They love the quality build of the Cambria, as well as its versatility. Lower one of its breathable mesh sides and secure it to your own bed to create a safe sleeping surface for your baby that lets you tend to their needs during the night without getting up. As they grow toward more independent sleep, raise the side once more and the Cambria moves about on four caster wheels as a free-standing bassinet. The compact Cambria features a spacious storage basket underneath, so wherever it goes, diapers and other necessities follow.
The Clear Choice for Bedside Baby Bassinets
The Tech Advocate | September 3, 2023
Ideal for parents looking to keep baby as close as possible, the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® bedside bassinet can be attached securely to your bed to make nighttime feeding and soothing a breeze, especially if you’re breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. You and baby can remain in your beds as you tend to them, without the risks associated with bedsharing. As your baby grows and you want to train them for more consistent, independent sleep, the Clear-Vue moves about as a perfect free-standing bassinet on four caster wheels. As you move it from room to room, diapers and other baby essentials travel with it in the spacious storage basket underneath. The versatile Clear-Vue can help you and your child get better, healthier sleep for the first five months of life, or until they start to push themselves up on their arms and legs, whichever comes first. At that point, you’ll want to transition them to a crib with more space and high walls.
Safer Sleeping with Arm’s Reach
LivePositively | August 21, 2023
During Baby Safety Month, reviewers at LivePositively shared their top products to keep little ones safe through the early years. Of course, sleep is one of the paramount concerns of new parents, and following the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics is a great place for prospective parents to start. Newborns should sleep in the same room as a parent or guardian, but importantly, they should have their own sleeping space. This is why many parents opt for bassinets for the first six months (or until baby begins to roll over on their own, whichever comes first). But as the reviewers point out, Arm’s Reach bedside bassinets like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® can do one better for you and your child. Attaching securely to your own bed, Arm’s Reach bedside bassinets create a distinct space for baby that’s flush with your own, letting you tend to their needs throughout the night without getting out of bed. This eases waking and sleeping for both of you, particularly if you’re breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. Simply raise the breathable mesh side and the Clear-Vue becomes a free-standing bassinet you can roll from room to room, aiding their transition to sleeping in their own space.
Safe and Versatile for Your Child’s First Five Months
Mom Junction | August 17, 2023
Prospective parents are often overwhelmed by the changes in their lives even before a baby is born. Your home changes as the due date nears, and fills up with every kind of provision for caring for the stork’s delivery. Budget-conscious parents will be looking to get the most out of all the baby’s supplies, and one way to do that is investing in furniture that is both reliable and versatile. The ability to easily move a bassinet from one room to another can save parents a lot of grief between nighttime and naptime, and a rolling bedside bassinet like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® from Arm’s Reach has the added ability to attach securely to your own bed to create a distinct but close-at-hand sleeping space for newborns. In the early months, the ability to feed and tend to your child without getting out of bed will ease your sleep and theirs, especially if you are breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. The Clear-Vue’s breathable mesh side raises up, and in free-standing mode moves easily from room to room as needed. This is great for keeping an eye on them during naptime, as well as moving them to their own bedroom as they grow. The Clear-Vue even features a spacious storage basket underneath, so diapers and other infant essentials go wherever the bassinet does.
The Best Bedside Bassinets to Keep Baby Close
Forbes | August 17, 2023
Bedside bassinets can make those crucial early months easier on parents and newborns alike, allowing you to feed and tend to your new bundle without getting out of bed. This is especially true if the bassinet in question comes with its own storage–an underrated feature, as Forbes highlights in its review of the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper®. From the company that literally invented the bedside bassinet, the Clear-Vue gets top marks not only for its unparalleled ability to attach securely to a parent’s bed and create a safe sleeping environment for baby that’s contiguous with your own, but for its ability to serve as a free-standing bassinet that moves easily on four caster wheels–and to bring a spacious storage basket along wherever it goes. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for new parents with limited floor space who do not want to invest in multiple bassinets for nighttime and naptime, or multiple changing stations. So keep baby–and all the necessities they need–close at hand with an Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper®!
Safe Nighttime Cuddling and Care
Isis Parenting | August 11, 2023
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends newborns sleep in the same room as their parent or caregiver for the first few months of life, but in their own distinct space, as sharing your bed with an infant has its own risks. Isis Parenting notes that the Arm’s Reach Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® is the “best bassinet sleeper we have reviewed,” owing to its stand-out ability to attach securely to a parent’s bed to create a safe sleeping environment for a baby that allows you to tend to them without getting out of bed. This allows for plenty of cuddling, eases baby’s sleep as well as your own, and keeps them safe and protected. Isis Parenting loves the Cambria’s solid, quality build and versatile design, with high vented sides of breathable mesh, four caster wheels that allow you to move the bassinet from room to room in free-standing mode, and the plentiful space underneath that lets you keep diapers and other necessities close at hand without taking up more space.
Bassinets and Bedside Sleepers: Choosing What’s Right for Your Family
Motherhood Community | August 8, 2023
Bassinets are incredibly useful for new parents, as experts recommend that infants sleep in the same room as their parents for the first six months of life, and large cribs can be unwieldy to move between your bedroom and baby’s nursery. Bedside sleepers like the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® have the added benefit of allowing you to create a safe sleeping space for your baby that sits flush with your own bed, reassuring them with your smell and cuddles and easing nighttime feeding–particularly if you’re breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. The Clear-Vue features both a bedside and a free-standing mode, so as your child grows you can transition them gently to their own room (or keep a close eye on them while they nap). And with the spacious storage basket underneath, all the accouterments they need are right at hand, wherever the bassinet goes.
JPMA Certification and What it Means for You
Baby Bassinet World | August 8, 2023
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) is a voluntary program that grew out of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as a safety testing program for a wide range of products designed for children, and a way to help parents easily identify products that have submitted to this testing. All certified products have met rigorous standards for safety, giving parents peace of mind in a very crowded and often-confusing marketplace. Arm’s Reach bedside bassinets like the Ideal Ezee™ 3-in-1 Co-Sleeper® have been independently examined for durability and safety under a variety of testing conditions with regular follow-ups to ensure that quality is maintained over time. Arm’s Reach is proud to participate in the JPMA program, and equally proud to be the longest-running maker of high-quality bedside bassinets built for safety and comfort, with thoughtful features that make life earlier for parents of newborns.

Breathable Safety and Comfy Sleep
Sleep Advisor | July 27, 2023
Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper® bedside bassinets are known for their clever designs and quality builds, facilitating nighttime parenting and helping both parent and baby get the best sleep possible. But what folks may not realize is that the same thought that goes into our bassinet designs goes into the very mattress that they come with. This is because research shows that a cool, breathable sleep environment is crucial for infant safety. Be sure to put newborns to bed on their backs, with no blankets or toys in the bassinet with them. Sleep Advisor recently gave the entire Arm’s Reach line of bedside bassinets top marks for their attention to ensuring a safe sleeping space for babies, with a firm, breathable mattress and mesh walls that facilitate airflow, calling them “an excellent choice for any new parent, letting both infants and parents sleep comfortably with ease and free from stress.”
Keep Baby Close Those First Few Months
Babylist | July 27, 2023
In calling the Arm’s Reach Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper® the best bedside bassinet they reviewed, Babylist urged readers to think of it as their own bed’s side-car. We like that! While the Mini Ezee 2-in-1 can be used as a free-standing bassinet, moving easily from room to room, it really shines when you lower that mesh side and secure it to your bed. It makes nighttime feeding and tending easy in those early months when it seems your little one wakes on the hour for some TLC. It’s even got a great storage space underneath for diapers, wipes, swaddles, and anything else you need right at hand. Allowing you and your baby to stay in bed during these nighttime interactions eases their sleep and yours. And as a new parent, the importance of your own sleep should absolutely not be overlooked! So keep them close, and keep both of you comfy and well-rested.
The Cambria Co-Sleeper®: “Perfect for New Parents”
Experienced Mommy | July 24, 2023
The reviewers at Experienced Mommy took a look at the Arm’s Reach Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® bedside bassinet, and boy, did they like what they saw! Noting that the Cambria can function ably as a free-standing bassinet that moves around on four caster wheels, they focused on its ability to attach securely to parents’ beds. The mesh side wall lowers to create a safe sleeping space for your infant that sits flush and allows you to feed and tend to your child throughout the night with minimal fuss and waking. This greatly improves your sleep and lowers the risk of SIDS. On top of that, the beautiful Cambria has plenty of storage space for diapers, wipes, swaddles, and other supplies you might find handy to have in the middle of the night without feeling your way to the other room.
Easy to Use, Bedside or Free-Standing
Mom Junction | July 24, 2023
Arm’s Reach Co-Sleepers® are the industry standard for bedside sleepers. With breathable mesh sides that lower to create a contiguous space between your bed and baby’s, bassinets like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® help you keep your newborn close by for nighttime parenting. This is perfect for getting the best night’s sleep possible, especially if you’re breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. But another key to their usefulness is their ability to aid in your child’s transition to sleeping in their own room. Raise the side, and the Clear-Vue moves around easily on four caster wheels. Move the bassinet to the nursery, or to the living room for the perfect naptime. And with the huge storage basket, all the supplies you need for diaper changing and swaddling move with it.

It all adds up to the best, most versatile bedside bassinet for getting a good night’s sleep.

Momtherly | July 10, 2023
When choosing a bassinet for your newborn, there are a few things you want to take into account. First, of course, is safety.

With all this in mind, the reviewers at Momtherly created a nifty guide that breaks down many of the best offerings on the market. When it comes to their picks for safety, ease-of-use, and versatility, Arm’s Reach Co-Sleepers® dominated the top spots.

Keep Your Baby Close with a Bedside Sleeper
Hartford Courant | July 5, 2023
After nine months in the womb, newborns need some time to transition to sleeping on their own. Many will not sleep unless there’s a warm body nearby. But the American Academy of Pediatrics warns against sleeping with baby in bed with you–the dangers posed by rolling over in your sleep are simply too great. This, of course, is where the Arm’s Reach line of Co-Sleepers® comes in–secure a bedside sleeper like the Clear-Vue® to your own bed and lower the side wall to create a safe sleeping space for your baby that makes it easy to tend to them during the night without getting up. Raise the mesh side again, and the Clear-Vue makes an excellent free-standing bassinet that rolls easily from room to room on caster wheels. Reviewers at the Courant also loved that the Clear-Vue features a spacious storage basket for diapers and other necessities; the mattress and fitted sheet that come with the bassinet are no slouches either!

Orlando Sentinel | June 28, 2023

Daily Press | June 28, 2023
Safe and comfortable sleep for infants–and getting enough sleep of their own–are among new parents’ many concerns. Newborns wake often for feeding and tending, and after nine months in the womb, their transition to life on the outside takes some time.

The Best Baby Shower Gift? The Gift of Sleep
MSN | June 26, 2023
Preparing for parenthood is a wonderful and stressful time. Loved ones may be wondering how they can best help make life easier for new parents-to-be and their bundle of joy. As any new parent can attest, sleep is one of the biggest challenges in these early months–safe, comfortable sleep for baby, and for parents, simply getting enough of it. Arm’s Reach’s bedside sleepers aim to aid sleep for the whole family, while improving nighttime parenting and bonding at the same time. The Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet allows maximum visibility, so anxious parents can always get eyes on their child. Best of all, its side can be lowered and the bassinet fastened securely to a parent’s bed in order to create a safe bedside sleep environment for their baby that is easy to reach without getting up. This can be a particular lifesaver for parents who breastfeed or are recovering from a c-section. Plus, with a ton of storage space underneath, diapers and other baby essentials are always close at hand to meet your infant’s nighttime needs.
Healthy Sleep in Baby’s Crucial Early Months
Medium | June 12, 2023
It’s no secret that new parents must navigate many challenges when it comes to newborn sleep. In the early months, infants need almost constant attention, regular tending and feeding, day and night, as they adjust to life outside the womb and go through their first postnatal growth spurt. Experts recommend that infants sleep in the same room as their parents for the first few months of life, but must have their own sleeping surface distinct from Mom and Dad’s. Bedside sleepers like the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet help baby and parent sleep easier by securing safely to your bed to create a safe sleeping environment right next to yours. This allows you to tend to your baby’s needs throughout the night without getting up, minimizing disruption, and the very smell and closeness of your presence helps put fussy babies at ease. Then, as your baby grows toward more independent sleep, the Clear-Vue converts to a free-standing bassinet that you can easily move from place to place on four lockable caster wheels. The breathable mesh sides let you keep an eye on them from across the room, and the ample storage basket underneath keeps everything your baby needs throughout the night right there with them.

Cambria™ Named Mom Junction’s “Best Bassinet with Lockable Wheels”
Mom Junction | June 7, 2023
Bassinets add dimensions of portability and versatility in those first six months of a newborn’s life that full-size cribs lack, allowing them to sleep in the same room as you so you can monitor them and tend to their many nighttime needs. A bedside sleeper like the Arm’s Reach Cambria™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet does one better for parents and infants alike. Adjusting to the height of your bed and attaching securely, the Cambria’s breathable mesh side can be lowered to create a safe sleep environment for your baby that sits flush with your bed. This intimate closeness and the smell and availability of a parent’s touch help soothe babies, and allow parents to feed and tend to their child’s needs without getting up. Reviewer’s love the quality craftsmanship of the Cambria, and the versatility of its combined bedside and free-standing design, easy to move from room to room on its four lockable caster wheels.

The Best Bedside Bassinet of 2023
Today’s Parent | May 30, 2023
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that infants sleep in the same room as their caregivers, but in their own sleeping space, for the first six months of life to reduce the risk of SIDS. Many parents find a bassinet is extremely helpful in these early months, providing more flexibility than a full-size crib. And a bedside sleeper makes parents’ lives easier still, by creating a safe sleeping space for babies that attaches securely to their own bed for seamless nighttime tending and feeding. But with so many options available, Today’s Parent set out to vet the many bassinets available, looking for the very best and safest options for new parents. It should come as no surprise that the best bedside bassinet they tested comes from the brand that literally invented the category–the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet. The compact Clear-Vue offers parents the safety, quality, and flexibility reviewers were looking for. Converting easily from a bedside bassinet that attaches securely and sits flush with a parent’s bed, it can also be used as a free-standing bassinet that wheels easily from room to room as needed. The sides are breathable mesh so you can keep an eye on your little one, and the Clear-Vue features tons of storage underneath for diapers and other necessities. Safe, versatile, and well-made, the Clear-Vue really has it all.
Safe, VERSATILE, and Budget-Friendly for New Parents
Buzzfeed | May 24, 2023
Becoming a parent can be overwhelming! New parents are sleep-deprived and learning on a steep curve, seeking what’s best for the newest addition to their family. The whole household gets revamped to accommodate baby’s needs–and such changes can hit the pocketbook hard. Some parents are able to get hand-me-down baby necessities from friends and family, but caution must be taken. The best bassinets for infants should meet all current safety standards and be certified, and should also take your own lifestyle needs into account. How big is your bedroom and where will the bassinet go? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends newborns sleep in the same room as parents for the first six months, but must have their own secure sleeping space. Luckily, as Buzzfeed points out, there is an excellent option for budget-conscious parents that meets the sleep needs of new babies and their parents. The lightweight and sturdy Arm’s Reach Versatile™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet can be used as a free-standing bassinet and also features leg extensions that let you raise and lower it, positioning it bedside for seamless nighttime feeding and tending–particularly helpful for parents breastfeeding or recovering from a c-section. With its included mobile and music box, the Versatile helps soothe and lull baby to sleep, so both they and their parents can rest easier.
Adaptable Mama’s Favorite Bedside Bassinet
Adaptable Mama | May 10, 2023
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends newborns sleep in the same room as their parents, but with their own sleeping space, as a precaution against SIDS.

BabyGearLab | May 9, 2023

The Best in Safety and Versatility
Motherhood Community | April 26, 2023
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that newborns sleep in the same room as their parents, but not in the same bed, to reduce the risk of SIDS. As they grow, bassinets can be placed in their own nursery with a monitor. So as Motherhood Community points out, many parents look for bassinets that can do both; moving easily and taking essential supplies with them. They looked at bedside bassinets on the market today to examine how well they accommodate these needs for new parents. It’s no surprise to us, then, that they love the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet. The Clear-Vue attaches securely to your own bed and its side lowers to create a safe and easily-accessible sleeping surface for baby that helps with nighttime feeding and tending. Raise the side, and the Clear-Vue moves easily on four caster wheels, becoming a free-standing bassinet. A large storage basket provides plenty of space for diapers and other necessities, and the wonderfully-cool mattress and breathable mesh walls provide ideal airflow and comfort for sleeping infants.
Keeping Baby Safe and Close at Night
Pros to Know | April 25, 2023
Sleep is top of mind for new parents, both sleep safety and worries about getting enough of it. Newborns especially need a lot of nighttime parenting, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends infants sleep in the same room as their caretakers–but not in the same bed. A good bassinet helps parents keep their baby under six months old safe and close while providing the versatility of something more portable than a crib. And the best bassinets, like the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper®, go a step further. The Clear-Vue allows you to securely fasten the bassinet to your own bed and lower the side, creating a safe sleeping surface for baby that’s easily accessible for nighttime feeding and comforting while you stay in bed.

The reviewers at Pros to Know particularly loved Clear-Vue’s thoughtful touches, like the convenient storage basket below with plentiful room for essentials.
The Best Bedside Bassinet Reviewed
Orlando Sentinel | April 25, 2023
A bedside bassinet is a particular godsend to new parents with babies who won’t settle right away, or who require frequent nighttime feeding and soothing. A free-standing bassinet allows parents to put baby to bed in their own room as they grow and achieve more sleep independence. As the reviewers at the Orlando Sentinel found, the Arm’s Reach Ideal Ezee™ 3-in-1 Co-Sleeper® Bassinet excels in both roles and more. Secured to your own bed with the side lowered, the Ideal Ezee 3-in-1 creates a safe and contained sleep space for your child that is nonetheless easily accessible to you for nighttime feeding and care. Raise the side, and it moves easily as a free-standing bassinet to another space for more independence. What’s more, the Ideal Ezee 3-in-1 functions are a perfect little play yard and travel cot for babies to safely relax and play. The breathable mesh walls afford 360 visibility and plenty of airflow in any mode, and reviewers loved how portable and easy to set up it is.
Maximizing Comfort for Newborns
Kidoneo | April 20, 2023
Making sure your baby is comfortable in their bassinet can be tricky for new parents who haven’t learned their newborn’s tastes and preferences yet. Babies should be placed flat on their back equidistant from all their sleep space’s walls. Fresh diapers are a must, and your baby may prefer to be swaddled snugly in a lightweight, breathable fabric. Temperature can play a role; babies need a firm, flat sleeping surface that’s cool, with minimal bedding, but you may want to monitor the room’s temperature to make sure your little one is comfortable. And for babies that want mopore tending and proximity, a bedside bassinet like the Clear-Vue® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet can be just the ticket to make sure everyone gets the sleep they need. Arm’s Reach bedside bassinets attach securely to your own bed, creating a safe, contained, but easily-accessible sleep space for babies. This makes nighttime feeding and tending much easier, allowing you to pay closer attention to baby without getting up. Raise the side, and the Clear-Vue moves easily from room to room on four caster wheels, complete with its storage basket full of diapers and other essentials.

Unlock the wheels and raise the side and the Cambria moves easily from room to room as a free-standing bassinet. The large storage basket lets you keep diapers and other baby essentials handy wherever it lives. And of course, the wood frame provides high-quality rigidity and a beautiful aesthetic.
An Easy-to-Move Bedside Bassinet for Your Family
Mom Junction | March 16, 2023
Bedside bassinets provide easy access to your baby, allowing you to keep them close, safe, comfy, and warm through the night. But nighttime parenting and habits change over time as your child grows. That’s why a versatile, movable bassinet can be a real lifeline for new parents. And Mom Junction just rated the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet as their Best Easy-to-Move bassinet. The ability to move the Clear-Vue on its four caster wheels means that when you want to keep baby close for nighttime feeding (especially recovering from birth), you can roll over and tend to them with minimal sleep disruption. Then as they develop their sleeping habits and need their own sleeping space, the Clear-Vue wheels right out, no problem. Mom Junction also loved the breathability and airflow provided by the Clear-Vue’s mesh sides, as well as the plentiful storage built right into the bassinet.
Choosing the Best Bassinet for Your Baby
Lucie’s List | March 13, 2023
If you’re an expecting parent looking for a bassinet for your little bundle, you’ve got a lot of choices. Bedside or free-standing? Small? Large? Do I need a bassinet at all? What you ultimately choose depends on your family and your circumstances, but pediatricians do recommend that infants under 6 months sleep in the same room as parents, in their own sleeping space. With that in mind, Lucie’s List brought attention to the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet. This beautiful bassinet gets top marks for its versatility. The Clear-Vue allows new parents to sleep with baby’s surface secured to their own while remaining safely distinct–great for nighttime feeding and tending that’s easier on everyone’s sleep needs. But the Clear-Vue also functions great as a stand-alone bassinet, wheeling easily on four caster wheels when you want to put your child down in another room for sleep.
Creating a Safe Sleep Environment
Forbes | March 9, 2023
Bassinets are great for infants you want to keep close by in your room, with a smaller footprint than a crib, or for newborns who may not be ready for a full-size crib yet. The best bassinets simplify things further during those hectic early months of parenthood by allowing for a more seamless bedside placement. And Forbes has named the Arm’s Reach Mini Ezee™ 2 in 1 Co-Sleeper® as the Best Bedside Bassinet they tested. Reviewers loved how absolutely functional and versatile the Mini Ezee 2-in-1 is. Secure it safely to your own bed to create a close but distinct sleep surface for your child–a lifesaver for maximizing your baby’s (and your own) sleep amidst nighttime feeding and tending.

Clear-Vue is Best Overall Bassinet Tested
BabyGearLab | March 8, 2023
In their round-up of the Best Baby Gifts of 2023, BabyGearLab tested a lot of products. When it came to bassinets, one model stood out above all the rest, and they named the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® as the Best Overall Bassinet for its quality and versatility, its breathable airflow design, and the superb mattress that Arm’s Reach includes with it. The Clear-Vue attaches securely to your bed to create a distinct, safe sleeping surface for baby that’s flush with your own, and you can raise the side again to create a fantastic free-standing bassinet. It features four caster wheels, so it’s easy to move from room to room depending on need. And the four mesh walls allow for maximum ventilation for your little one. All these earned it top marks and the Editor’s Choice award from the review site.
Nighttime Parenting and Attachment Made Easier
Baby Bassinet World | February 27, 2023
Whether you’re trying attachment parenting, you’re a first-time parent and maybe a bit of a worrier, or you just want to make nighttime feeding and soothing easier, many parents opt for bedside sleepers in the early months of their child’s life. Bedside sleepers make it easy to keep your baby safe and close. The bassinet attaches securely to your own bed, creating a space all their own by your side. Just lean over to tend to baby without either of you needing to get up. A focus on attachment and nighttime bonding is what the reviewers at Baby Bassinet World like so much about the Arm’s Reach Cambria™ Co-Sleeper®. Not simply another bassinet, the Cambria featuring a side that lowers, so when you secure it to your own bed, you don’t have to reach to tend to your little one. Your baby can stay snug on the Cambria’s firm mattress, which also helps them–and you–get back to sleep faster. Then, as they transition to more independent sleep, the Cambria itself transitions easily to free-standing, easy-to-move bassinet mode.
Wirecutter (Again!) Names Arm’s Reach a Top Pick
New York Times Wirecutter | February 21, 2023
Wirecutter has been giving the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® their top marks for years, and it’s held continuous top-pick status with these stalwart reviewers since 2017. Their reviewer admitted this spacious and super-functional bassinet is the one she used with her own first child. The Clear-Vue is the culmination of Arm’s Reach’s experience refining bedside sleepers since they popularized the concept in 1997. Attach the Clear-Vue securely to your own bed and lower the side to create a safe space flush between your and baby’s beds. “This gives exhausted parents something similar to the experience of [bed-sharing]—which the AAP advises against, due to suffocation risks—while providing a safe and dedicated sleep space to return the infant to” once nighttime feeding and soothing is complete. The Clear-Vue transitions easily to a free-standing bassinet when you’re ready, moving around on its four caster wheels. Parents weighed in on social media, attesting to the Cambria’s dependability and plentiful storage when Wirecutter solicited real-world recommendations.

The Importance of a Good Bedside Sleeper
Mom Loves Best | February 4, 2023
For parents of infants who haven’t settled into a regular sleep pattern, parents recovering from a cesarean-section, and those practicing attachment parenting, a bedside sleeper holds many advantages over a free-standing bassinet. The increased intimacy, more seamless feedings, and easier transitions from soothing back into sleep are all marked benefits of a bedside sleeper. But with so many different approaches and styles, it’s easy to get lost. A versatile, refined design like the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® can make things easier. Its tried-and-tested design attaches securely to your bed and creates a safe and distinct sleeping space for your baby that’s right on the level with you. As your little one transitions to more independent sleep, the Clear-Vue’s side can be raised and you can move it on four caster wheels to be a free-standing bassinet. The versatility and functionality of the Clear-Vue’s design is why Mom Loves Best called it the overall best bedside sleeper that they tested.
Finding the Best Bedside Sleeper for Your Infant
Motherhood Community | January 26, 2023
Nighttime parenting can be tough for new parents. Newborns need feeding and tending throughout the night, and parents need all the rest they can get. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies six months and under sleep in the same room but not in the same bed as parents. Bedside sleepers can be a godsend for new parents, providing the proximity and care infants need while making life easier for Mom and Dad. But there are a lot of models out there! When looking for the ideal bedside sleeper for your child, safety, accessibility, and versatility are the name of the game. The Motherhood Community blog points out that ticking all these boxes is what makes the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® so special. Attaching securely to your own bed and creating a surface that’s contained but flush with your mattress, the Clear-Vue features a side panel that lowers to create easy access for nighttime feedings and tending. As baby grows, you can raise the side and create a free-standing bassinet with breathable mesh all around so you can always see them and four caster wheels to move the bassinet when needed.

Mom Junction | January 20, 2023

But with so many models, how is a prospective parent to pick the best for their little one?

They absolutely love the easy-to-move Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet from Arm’s Reach! It ticks all their boxes–it secures safely to your own bed to create a nice, flush surface for you and baby. Lower the side for bedside mode or raise it to make a free-standing bassinet you can move around easily on four caster wheels. The breathable mesh sides provide great visibility so you can always get eyes on your child while they sleep. It comes with fitted sheets and a mattress perfectly crafted for a newborn’s safe, comfortable sleep. Especially in the early months and for c-section recovery, the Clear-Vue is the perfect companion for nighttime care and feeding.
Keep Baby Close with a Bedside Bassinet
BabyList | January 5, 2023
Doctors recommend using a bassinet in the first few months of a newborn’s life. The small size and portability of a bassinet make it easy to keep your baby close to you, whether you’re in the living, kitchen, or bedroom. As BabyList points out, there are further benefits to a bedside sleeper like the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® Bassinet. Calling it “your bed’s side-car,” their reviewer said it was the “BEST thing we bought!” Attaching securely to your own bed, the Clear-Vue allows you to lower one side and create a flush but safely contained sleeping surface for newborns–making nighttime parenting and feeding easy and restful for both parent and child. Simply raise the side and the four caster wheels allow you to move the Clear-Vue as a free-standing bassinet.

Sleep and Feeding Tips for Newborns
Baby Sleep Site | January 4, 2023
Ah, newborns! So cute and loveable they can just break a new parent’s heart. The first few months with your baby are a joyous time. But caring for them, figuring out feeding and sleeping and everything else, can be downright overwhelming! Luckily, the Baby Sleep Site has some helpful tips for new parents. When done safely, swaddling and baby-wearing can help your newborn rest better, if it fits their temperament. Gently but consistently creating routines around sleep can help them–and you–sleep better. And room-sharing at night can ease nighttime parenting and feeding for everyone. Even better, an Arm’s Reach bedside bassinet like the Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® allows you to create a safe and contained sleep surface that’s flush with your own bed. Attaching securely, one side of the bassinet lowers to give ready access to baby so you can feed and tend to them with minimal disruption. For a free-standing bassinet, you simply raise the breathable mesh side and bassinet moves from room to room as needed.

C-Section Recovery Must-Have
Proud Happy Mama | December 24, 2022

The Best Bedside Bassinet to Keep Newborns Close
Forbes | December 16, 2022
Since newborn babies tend to sleep in disjointed chunks, and since they spend so much of their first weeks and months sleeping before settling into a nighttime routine, versatility is a particular virtue for bassinets. Forbes calls the Arm’s Reach Mini Ezee™ 2 in 1 Co-Sleeper® the Best Bedside Bassinet in their study. The ability to fasten it close as a bedside sleeper is especially useful early on to help with nighttime feedings and birth recovery, and gives both mother and baby an improved sense of well-being. Then, as infants grow, the Mini Ezee’s side can be raised and it can be placed nearby as a stand-alone bassinet. The Mini Ezee’s versatility is also useful for storage and travel, and its side pockets and bottom compartment provide outsized cargo space.

The Best Bassinet for Breastfeeding
Little Baby Gear | September 6, 2022
The decision to breastfeed is a beautiful one, but committing to waking several times a night to nurse can leave new parents exhausted. Newborns need to nurse often, but an Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper® bassinet can make nighttime feedings and tending easier on you and your newborn. The Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® allows you and baby to stay in bed while you nurse them, and Little Baby Gear points out that this is particularly good for mothers recovering from cesarean delivery. The Clear-Vue is also the perfect bedside bassinet for parents unsure about how their baby will respond to bedside sleeping, or who are looking to easily transition their baby to their own room, as “it feels more like a mix between a crib and a bassinet,” with high mesh walls for visibility, seamlessly transitioning from bedside to stand-alone and moving on its four caster wheels.
Transitioning from Bassinet to Crib
The Confused Millennial | September 1, 2022
Using a bedside bassinet has many advantages to new parents, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends using a non-inclined bassinet in the same room as you for about the first six months of your child’s life, until they can roll over and pull themselves up. At that point, a crib with higher walls is more appropriate. One of the reasons TCM calls the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® the Best Bassinet they reviewed is that it aids this transition. Securely fastening to your bed in early months to aid with nighttime parenting and feeding, the Clear-Vue easily transitions from bedside to stand-alone bassinet, with high mesh walls so you can easily see your baby and four caster wheels to move the sleeper from room to room as they mature to sleeping in their own space. Check out their review for more tips on making this transition easy for you and your little one!

The folks over at Maternity Comfort Solutions shout out two Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper® Bassinets in particular as the best you can buy. The Cambria Co-Sleeper® Bassinet and the Mini-Ezee 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper® Bassinet attach securely to your bed so your mattress is flush with your infant’s, keeping them close and safe, and the adjustable sides are a particular blessing to mom’s recovering from a c-section. MCS also loves how transparent the breathable mesh sides are, giving parents added visibility, and the ability to graduate from bedside sleeper to stand-alone as your child matures.
The Best Baby Co-Sleepers - Unbiased Buyer’s Guide and Reviews
ParentsLists | August 4, 2022
ParentsLists has exhaustively researched the state of the bedside sleeper bassinet market and introduced a helpful buyer’s guide for parents expecting new infants in their homes. The benefits of co-sleeping are many, and the best bedside sleepers maximize safety and ease-of-use while being as versatile and useful for as long as possible. To that end, they recommend the Arm's Reach Cambria Co-Sleeper®. The Cambria is sturdy and securely attaches flush to your bedside to create the safest possible sleeping environment for your baby. It converts from bedside to stand-alone as your baby matures toward their transition to a crib (which they should do around 6 months, or when they are able to push themselves up on their hands). And it includes plenty of storage space for diapers, wipes, and anything else you need handy for nighttime parenting.
The Best Bassinets for Safe Newborn Sleep in Those Early Months
Forbes | June 29, 2022
Since newborn babies tend to sleep in disjointed chunks, and since they spend so much of their first weeks and months sleeping before settling into a nighttime routine, versatility is a particular virtue for bassinets. Forbes calls the Arm’s Reach Mini 2-in-1 the Best Dual Mode Bassinet in their study. The ability to fasten it close as a co-sleeper is especially useful early on to help with nighttime feedings and birth recovery, and gives both mother and baby an improved sense of well-being. Then, as infants grow, the Mini’s side can be raised and it can be placed nearby as a stand-alone bassinet. The Mini’s versatility is also useful for storage and travel, and its side pockets and bottom compartment provide outsized cargo space.
Ways to Get Your Newborn to Sleep in a Bassinet
Mommy’s Block Party | June 21, 2022
“Sleep is one of the greatest luxuries for new parents,” writes Ondria Witt in the popular Mommy’s Block Party blog, and an Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper Bassinet can be an important part of getting a good night’s sleep - for baby and parent alike. Keeping your baby’s bassinet safely in arm’s reach allows you to rest easier and in-turn with your child’s nighttime well-being, and allows newborns to feel your presence nearby. It makes feedings easier, and helps everybody get back to sleep more quickly following nighttime fussiness. Other useful tips include creating a steady routine that eases your little one toward bedtime; swaddling; and putting them to bed while they’re sleepy, but not quite asleep yet.
Choosing the Right Baby Bassinet
Michigan Mama News | July 19, 2022
Pediatricians recommend that babies sleep in the same room as parents, but the American Academy of Pediatrics stresses that they should not sleep in the same bed. Instead a bassinet should be placed in your room so that your baby is close at hand, but has their own sleeping space. Michigan Mama News outlines key factors for choosing a bassinet, including safety certification; portability and convenience; a firm, supportive mattress; and the ability to keep your baby at arm’s reach. Based on these criteria, they recommend Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper® Bassinets in the first few months of life as a parent’s best choice for safety and for keeping your baby right beside you for feeding, tending, and bonding in those critical first months.

Dr. Doug Crosby | July 14, 2022
Since Arm’s Reach pioneered the Co-Sleeper® Bassinet, the market has become inundated with imitations. With such a crowded field, how is a parent to choose? Dr. Doug Crosby lays out his criteria in a new review of the field, testing bedside bassinets according to comfort, traction, warmth, versatility, sensitivity, and durability, and it’s no surprise that the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper® gets top marks. Dr. Crosby draws attention to the safety that comes with Arm’s Reach’s long-term testing and refinement; the maximum visibility provided by the Clear-Vue’s breathable mesh sides; and the versatility of a bassinet that can easily convert from bedside sleeper to stand-alone as you wean your baby toward sleeping in their own room.

Babylist | July 5, 2022
Bassinets are recommended over cribs for babies in the first five months of life, or until they’re able to push themselves up on their hands or roll over. Bassinets allow babies to be close at hand while the family sleeps, easing nighttime feeding and comforting and helping to give parents peace of mind. Babylist recently surveyed thousands of real families about the bassinets they love (and the ones they don’t), and provided a list of recommendations based on these surveys. Based on the feedback of all these experienced moms and dads, they named the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper® as hands-down the Best Bassinet for Safe Co-Sleeping. Calling it “your bed’s side-car,” parents love the secure way that the Clear-Vue attaches to their bed at night, making it easy to feed and comfort your baby during the night. The versatility of the design, and the ease with which it transitions to stand-alone as a baby matures toward sleeping in a crib, was also a favorite feature.

Considering Co-Sleeping? The Mom Loves Best Guide to the Best Co-Sleepers of 2022
Mom Loves Best | May 15, 2022
Many parents opt to keep their newborns in the same room as them for the early months of life, a choice that is in line with American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Room-sharing should be distinguished from bed-sharing, however, which can be unsafe. A co-sleeper bassinet like Arm’s Reach is your best choice to create a safe room-sharing sleep environment for your family. Co-sleeper bassinets should be well-ventilated, be absolutely secure and fit flush with your bed, adjusting to your own bed’s height. For best results, Mom Loves Best recommends one whose side can be raised to a stand-alone position to provide an easy transition from co-sleeping toward putting baby to sleep in their own room. The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper ticks all these boxes and more, and Mom Loves Best puts it at the absolute top of their list of Best Co-Sleepers of 2022.
The Best Co-Sleepers and Bedside Bassinets of 2022
Experienced Mommy | May 13, 2022
For parents with a new baby, establishing a good sleeping routine is an exciting - and sometimes difficult - process. All babies are unique, and infant sleep is different from adult sleep. Infants both require more sleep and wake more during the night than adults do. So for these important early months of bonding and nighttime parenting, many parents opt for bedside bassinets. Experienced Mommy has prepared a round-up of the best bedside bassinets, and it’s no surprise that they love the Arm's Reach Mini Ezee 2-in-1. With precise height adjustability, a side that easily raises and lowers, and four castor wheels for easy movement, this is an excellent choice for creating a safe and stable co-sleeping space for your newborn, so you can tend to their needs and feed them in the night with minimal disruption and maximum bonding.
7 of the best bassinets to keep baby safe and comfortable
Livingsec | March 4, 2022
Finding the best bassinet for your newborn is tricky because it needs to be sturdy, safe, and comfortable, without ruining the aesthetic of your meticulously designed bedroom. Bassinets allow you to keep your baby close by and easily pick them up as you groggily reach for them when it's time for the middle of the night feed. The beauty of them is that they take up much less space than a full-sized crib, so a bassinet that feels like a hindrance in your room defeats the point.

A co-sleeper bassinet like those developed by Arm's Reach Concepts is an ideal choice, with a drop-down side, adjustable height, and firm attachment to create a safe and secure bedside space for your infant to sleep at arm’s reach so you can rest assured and continue to form those all-important bonds.
The Best Bassinets of 2022: Mommyhood 101
Mommyhood101 | March 13, 2022
Babies sleep a lot, but their sleep patterns don’t always line up with the way adults tend to sleep. Although babies tend to spend 16 hours of each day asleep, you’re very unlikely to get eight uninterrupted hours of sleep during the night. Mommyhood 101 points out that the best bassinets will help you squeeze out every last minute of sleep by ensuring your baby is safe, comfortable, and nearby. Your best bet for a co-sleeper bassinet, which attaches securely to your own bed to create a safe space at arm’s length for your baby, is the Arm's Reach Cambria Co-Sleeper. With well-ventilated mesh sides, easy adjustability, and tons of storage space, the Cambria “provides some serious capability in a simple, sturdy, reliable, safe, and convenient package!”
How Nighttime Parenting Helps Babies and Parents Get More Rest
A Nation of Moms | March 8, 2022
“Nighttime parenting” doesn’t just mean getting your baby to sleep; it’s a phrase first coined by pediatrician William Sears to describe the unique and individualized style of interaction and routine that helps babies and their parents sleep better. Babies have different sleep needs and sleeping patterns than their parents, and creating an environment that helps induce and encourage your baby’s sleep is good for their development and well-being. Bedside bassinets like Arm's Reach Co-Sleepers have long been held up as an excellent option for developing good nighttime parenting routines. Creating a safe, secure space alongside your own bed for your infant to sleep eases nighttime feeding and fussing, while allowing you to keep tabs on and bond with them in those crucial early months.

They stressed that room-sharing and bed-sharing are not the same thing, and that bed-sharing has some inherent risks. Room-sharing, on the other hand, has several benefits that new parents may want to embrace. It’s breast-feeding friendly (especially when you employ a secure Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper); you can monitor your baby easily in the night, reducing the risk of SIDS; and nighttime fussiness is quickly resolved so that both you and your baby can sleep more soundly.
