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. Parents love how easily portable it is, moving from room to room on its raved about wheels; and they rave about the amount of storage the venerable little bassinet has.
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.

Sleep Advisor | February 17, 2023
Decisions about sleep can be difficult for new parents. Every family is different, and feeling out nighttime routines sometimes takes time.

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.

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.

The New York Times’ Wirecutter is one of the most trusted names in reviews. That’s why we’re particularly proud that they named the Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® their very top pick of 2022 for bassinets.

He and his wife loved the fold-down side that let them easily access their daughter while everyone remained in bed. They love how versatile it is, it's easy portability, and the large storage basket. And as the review points out, it doesn’t hurt that for its features and quality, the price point is very competitive.
C-Section Recovery Must-Have
Proud Happy Mama | December 24, 2022
Cesarean sections have come a long way in recent years, but it would be a mistake to discount what is in fact major abdominal surgery. Parents recovering from c-sections require a good deal of care and recovery time–right when the demands placed on them skyrocket with a new baby! Aids like recovery belts and high-waisted leggings can help a great deal, as can an Arm’s Reach Bassinet.

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.

Safe, Secure Sleep with the Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper®
Gentle Nursery | October 2, 2022
One of the most important questions facing new parents is the sleeping arrangements they prepare for their little bundle. Newborn sleep can be tough! For the first six months, it’s best to keep baby in the same room where you sleep in their own bassinet. But it’s also important to gently transition them to their own space as they mature. The folks over at Gentle Nursery considered these needs, as well as the need for breathability, portability, and most of all security, and they absolutely love the Arm’s Reach Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1 Co-Sleeper®. Arm’s Reach’s adjustable height and patented attachment strap and plate allow parents to securely fix the bedside sleeper to their own bed so that both sleeping surfaces sit flush with one another. As your baby matures, the Mini Ezee converts to a stand-alone bassinet, easily movable by Mom or Dad on its caster wheels. With a top-notch firm mattress made of non-toxic fibers and breathable mesh sides, you’ve got a cool, safe space for your little one to snooze. And the Mini Ezee is easy to fold up and pack into its travel bag, so it’s easy to take on visits to Grandma!

The Baby Swag | September 12, 2022
Celebrating the arrival of an infant in your home involves a whole host of new products and aids to help you out, and new parents often find that some are more useful than others.

What’s So Special About Arm’s Reach Co-Sleepers®?
Motherhood Community | September 11, 2022
Arm’s Reach has been making bedside bassinets longer than anyone–heck, they’re the ones who own the trademark to “Co-sleeper®”! But what really makes the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ special, according to the reviewers at Motherhood Community, are all the little details put into the bassinet coming from all that experience. The Clear-Vue secures reliably to your bed, and converts from bedside to free-standing so parents can use it as their baby transitions to their own room. It’s four caster wheels make it extremely portable around the house. And the large attached storage basket makes diaper-changing easier too. That’s why Motherhood Community called the Clear-Vue one of the best bedside bassinets out there.

Toys, Tots, Pets, and More | September 7, 2022
TTPM loved the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue™ Co-Sleeper® so much that they made this video showcasing its features to their audience. In the video, reviewer Luiza demonstrates the Clear-Vue Co-sleeper’s® secure method of attachment to the side of your bed, and how easy it is to convert from bedside to stand-alone bassinet, with the four caster wheels so you can move it from room to room with no hassle. She calls the Clear-Vue “perfect” for co-sleeping, feeding, and comforting newborns throughout the night, and the review is very helpful in taking prospective parents through the motions of using an Arm’s Reach Co-sleeper® bassinet, and seeing the potential of this sleeping arrangement for their own family, including mesh panels so you can always see baby and the large storage basket underneath that parents will find super-handy at diaper changes.
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!

Mama the Fox | August 9, 2022

Both options have their benefits and drawbacks, and many factors will determine which path parents take. For parents who breastfeed, Mama the Fox has some helpful guidance for making the most of the experience. Among their tips for breastfeeding parents is the use of a bedside sleeper bassinet like the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper® Bassinets make nighttime feedings easier on parents and babies alike, keeping them close to you and safe through the night. In addition to making it easier to feed and comfort your baby in the early months of life, the adjustable side and castor wheels add the versatility of using the Clear-Vue as a stand-alone, and the plentiful storage space helps keep supplies like diapers within easy reach.

Many parents choose the comfort and convenience of a bassinet in the early months of their child’s life.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
