1. Arm's Reach Cosleeper with Clear-Vue

Co-sleeping was a new idea, a mother-and-father team formed Arm's Reach and came up with a design that would allow parents to safely sleep alongside their newborns. It was the first cot for bedside that allowed babies to sleep together without falling off or getting trapped in the mattress. The Clear-Vue is still in wide use in the present, with a 25-year history and no reported deaths or injuries.

It has built-in leg extensions to adjust for different mattress sizes and comes with a sheet and fitted cover. The bassinet is intended for infants from five to six months old or until they begin pushing up on their knees and hands depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper is a bassinet which can be used as a stand-alone unit or attached to the mattress of the parent using the included strap and plate. It's easy to switch between the two modes by a simple pull of a string, but be aware that it doesn't meet the federal requirements for a bed that is attached so your child should never be left unattended in this arrangement of sleeping.

McKenna was impressed by the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, noting that it's easy to lift infants into and out of the bassinet for meals in the middle of the night or other needs from your bed. He also praised the safety of the Co-Sleeper and said that it is in compliance with all crib and baby bassinet standards. It's been in the marketplace for decades and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" without any reported infant accidents or deaths.

In our tests during our tests, the Clear-Vue was the simplest to get into of the cots with bedside cot co sleeper tables we test. The swiveling sleeping space and the adjustable height of the Clear-Vue made it easy for you to reach your baby and comfort them. Other models had lower sidewalls that required you to reach over or crouch down to retrieve your child but not the Clear-Vue.

The Clear-Vue was the only one in our top five that didn't attach to the bed of the parent. It was a close runner-up and far superior to a few of those we tested that were designed to be connected to parent beds. It is sturdy and solid feel and plenty of storage space.
