It was hard to reach lower into a bassinet and pick her up. I borrowed one from a family member and used the Rock n' Play, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358814 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 19:22:16 +0000 SweetCaroline 2358814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Arms reach cosleeper--mini. To me it was great to not have a rough transition to the crib. They were both flat surfaces so fortunately the transition was seamless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358812 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 19:20:54 +0000 Littlebit7 2358812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: I had the arms reach mini Co sleeper as well. Loved it. It comes with extendable legs built in so you don't have to buy extenders like you do for the full size version. All 4 legs have wheels so you can move it around. We still have it in our room. It's the folded laundry station now (ok, and general crap-catch all for our room) and was a safe place to put baby during showers once we moved her to her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358791 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 18:54:21 +0000 LAZB 2358791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really loved the Halo bassinest, it pulls right up to the bed, and swivels out so you don't have to get up to get the baby, and you don't have to climb around it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358769 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 18:11:01 +0000 iluvboba637 2358769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the arms reach cosleeper with DS and will be using it again when LO2 arrives.

My 8 day old likes it so far! I think it's a great height for our bed, though I do have to sit up to get him out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358730 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:37:20 +0000 PawPrints 2358730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOVED the Arm's reach mini co-sleeper (smaller than the regular arm's reach co-sleeper). It was the perfect size for our bedroom. It didn't hurt that we got it for free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358722 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:30:52 +0000 californiadreams 2358722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used the bassinet that came with UBV on a jolly jumper rocking stand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358720 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:29:09 +0000 Keybee 2358720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an arms reach co sleeper as well, it goes right up against the bed so you don't have to get up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358712 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 17:24:35 +0000 mrswin 2358712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: We used the bassinet that came with our stroller and ordered the stand for it. We used that next to our bed in our room until DD was 3.5 months and she outgrew the weight limit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358565 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:51:55 +0000 Mamasig 2358565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: I did have to physically get out of the bed to pick him up. But if he started fussing a bit, I would just lean over and rock it a bit with my hand. He'd fall asleep in no time. It also had a vibrating function that helped in the early days too. I think now they even have automatic ones. It's been one of my favorite baby items! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358527 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:25:52 +0000 Autumnmama79 2358527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamasig: Neat! Did you find it was a good height for beside your bed? Like you could roll over and easily soothe/pick up LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358504 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:10:45 +0000 rachiecakes 2358504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rock N Play was a game changer! The way it's angled, the sloping breathable sides,.. he slept great in it, right next to our bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/basinette-for-beside-our-bed#post-2358501 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:09:42 +0000 babynumber1 2358501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the rock n play for our 2 month old and it is perfect.

However, its made of wood and just too big for our bedroom now. I'm looking for something small!</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
