1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper
Arm's Reach was founded by a father and mother team when co-sleeping wasn't a common practice. They developed a concept that allowed parents to sleep comfortably with their infants. It was the first bedside cot, which allows infants to sleep close without getting suffocated or falling onto the mattress or onto the parent's side of the bed. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years and has never been any reported injuries or fatalities.
It is equipped with leg extensions to adjust for different mattress heights and includes an upholstered cover and sheet. The bassinet is suitable for babies up to five months old or until they are climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as a bassinet that can be used by itself or can be attached to the parent's mattress using the included strap and plate. The Co-Sleeper is simple to switch between the two modes by pulling a string. However it is not able to meet federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your child should not be left alone.
McKenna was also awed by the Co-Sleeper’s accessibility. She said it is easy to lift your child in and out of the bassinet from the cozy bed for feedings at night or other care requirements.

The Clear-Vue bedside crib and travel cot cot was the easiest to access of the cots we tested.

Other models had lower-sided walls that required you to reach over and over or crouch down to reach your child however not the Clear-Vue.
The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top picks that doesn't connect to a parent's bed but it was a close second and far better than other beds we tried that were designed to be attached to a bed that parents sleep in. It's sturdy and sturdy, with plenty of storage.
2. HALO Bassinest

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns and you'll have to upgrade to a full-size cot once your baby turns six months old (usually around when they move into their own room). Roanna thought it was a fantastic cotbed though and would definitely recommend it.
