1. Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper with Clear-Vue
Co-sleeping was a new idea, a mother-and-father team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a design that would allow parents to be able to sleep comfortably with their infants. It was the first bedside cot that allowed babies to sleep close by without getting suffocated or falling onto the mattress or onto the parent's side of the bed. Clear-Vue has been in use for over 25 years, and there haven't been any reported injuries or fatalities.

The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone bassinet, or it can attach to the bed of the parent using the attached strap and plate. It's easy to transfer between the two modes by just a pull of a string, but you should be aware that it doesn't meet the federal requirements for an attached bed which means your child shouldn't be left unattended in this sleeping arrangement.
