1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper
In the early days of co-sleeping, a novel idea, a mother-and-father team founded Arm's Reach and came up with a design that allowed parents to comfortably sleep with their infants. It was the very first cot for bedside that allowed babies to sleep together without falling over or suffocating the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in wide use today, with over 25 years of history and no reported injuries or deaths.
It is equipped with leg extensions to adjust for different mattress heights and includes a sheet and fitted cover. The bassinet is suitable for babies up to five months old, or until they begin climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone bassinet, or it can attach to the bed of the parent using the strap that comes with it and plate. The Co-Sleeper is easy to switch between both modes by pulling a string. However, it does not meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, your child should not be left unattended.
McKenna was also impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility. She noted that it is easy to get your child in and out of the bassinet from the cozy bed for feedings at night or other care requirements. He also praised the security of the Co-Sleeper as it meets all requirements for a baby's crib and bassinet. It's been in the market for a long time and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reported infant deaths or injuries.
In our tests, the Clear-Vue was the most easy to reach of all the bedside cots we examined.

Other models had lower-sided walls that required you to reach over and over or bend down to retrieve your child however not the Clear-Vue.
