Does anyone have any experiences with either of these that they can share? I'm debating between which to buy to use with LO #2 hoping it will be a bit easier/more convenient than the PnP that we used with LO #1, especially because I'll likely be having a repeat c-section. Any info on either of these would be much appreciated!

I had the co sleeper for #1 and i didnt like it. The position it was in made it awkward for me to lift the baby in and out of the bed for nursing. You have to twist your back and i have a crap back so it didnt work out well for me. I have the halo bassinet now and it swivels, is an adjustable height and the side comes down so you don't have to lift the baby up and over the side. It has a lot of other fancy buttons but i dont use them. Truth be told, #2 is only 6 weeks so she sleeps in bed with me right now but the few times that we did use the bassinet, i liked it much better than the cosleeper. Much much Easier on my back. I plan on moving her to the bassinet eventually...i think...

We have the bassinest, and when lo actually sleeps in it I like it. Right now she is mostly sleeping on my chest, but I like the way the bassinest pulls right up over my bed and I can see through the mesh siding. I also don't use most of the buttons, but I do like having the little light shine on her.

we got a used arms reach for $50 and we loved it! DD slept in our room for 5 months in it. will be using it for #2.

I would recommend the arms reach for sure. It's much easier access.

We had the Bassinest and loved it! I had a c section and it was great having the Bassinest swivel over my mattress and the side that pushes down.
And it has the BEST lullabies ever. They are so pretty and soothing, not like any other soother or mobile I've heard. They used to help me sleep too! -
The halo sleeper looks awesome! I like that it swivels away. The baby guy has a nice review on it.
I was debating between the two but ultimately decided to keep with our RnP and see how it goes

Thanks for the input, everyone! I'm really leaning towards the Bassinest. Fyi for anyone who's interested in it, diapers.com has it on sale for 25% off right now. Awesome deal!
