Close & Secure Sleeper

Comments about The First Years Close & Secure Sleeper:

We have used this sleeper for four weeks and it has been a life saver. It allows our baby to be close to us without the normal dangers of baby sleeping with parents in the bed.

Our 3 month old son usually sleeps in his pack-n-play next to our bed at night but towards the early part of morning, I found he would sleep longer in bed with us, so after his feeding I put him in the sleeper and I'll get a few more hours of sleep from him without worrying about suffocating him against my body. He enjoys my hand on him while we go back to sleep. We also like that you can put it next to us on the couch in our living room while he naps during the day.

I loved this product! I have co-slept with all my children (4), but always was paranoid about rolling over. I got this for my now 2yrd old and it was such a relief! I slept better and still was able to know if my baby wasn't doing well becasue they were right next to me! Plus it was great for nursing.

This was a life saver!!! I had an older model and I am happy to see that the yellow cushion is at the bottom. My son was 10lbs at birth and would slide down the co-sleeper (the older model). This is amazing for women who have had c-sections since you don't have to get out of bed to nurse in the middle of the night! My son slept in this until he was 4 months! He then transitioned very easily into his crib! I love this product!

My son was 10 lbs 2 oz and 22 inches at birth and got to be too big length wise for this product very quickly. I think this would be a great product if the bottom came off. Great product, just not for big babies!

I bought this for my third child since we co-sleep I was afraid my 3 or 2 year old would roll on the baby! Worked so well, I am using it on my 4th baby!

This is by far the greatest baby invention ever! Our son hated his bassinet so before our daughter was born, I decided to try one of these. It worked great for her and for us. We put this in the middle of our bed between my husband and me. Then, we equipped the night stand with bottles, formula, bottled water, diapers, wipes and even an extra diaper pail. We had everything set up so when she woke up in the night, one of us would change her, make her a bottle, feed her and put her back to sleep without ever getting out of bed. It was terrific! She got more sleep, and we got more sleep, making us a lot less stressed this second time around. Best of all, it is totally portable. You can put it in the living room during the day, take it to grandma, etc., and your baby always her familiar bed with her. This thing even gave us the courage to travel out of town and stay in a hotel for my husband's grandfather's birthday party two weeks after she was born. I cannot recommend this enough! I only wish we had had one for our son. If you are expecting or have a newborn that does not sleep well at night or in a bassinet, get this product!

this is perfect!!! great price for the comfort of keeping baby bear tucked in safely between mama and papa bear without fear of rolling on him/her at night.

This is a good thing to have if your baby is sleeping in your bed. My 3 month old daughter will not sleep in her crib but falls fast asleep in this co-sleeper and sleeps 8-9 hours every night. The only negative thing I can say is the light is too bright, we never use it anyway.

Too short

We got this bed as a gift and loved it. It has a useful night light. The bed was great, in the house you can put your baby every where while they sleep and you cook or clean. We went on a roadtrip to Alaska from california, when our daughter was 2 months old. The bed was great....the only bad thing is that is too small, after a couple of weeks her feet stick out. I wish they made the yellow bottom part removable!

This is ideal for parents who are interested in cosleeping, but afraid to do it. The perfect compromise for doctors with scare tactics and the nervous but mindful parent. Keeps baby in your bed: benefits physical and psychological development, reduces liklihood of SIDS, allows mom to sleep secure, Keeps baby safe: no risk of rollovers, no risk of baby buried in blankets or pillows, no need to add a bulky peice of furniture to your room.

We used this from birth until our baby girl was three months old (when she was ready to transition to her own crib), and it worked perfectly. When our daughter had a cold, we just propped the mattress insert up with a couple of handtowels folded in half to give a slight incline so she could breath better. It was wonderful to be able to just lift out baby and nurse in the middle of the night, and she seemed to sleep better being so close to us. Would highly recommend for people who want to try co-sleeping.

I was unsure whether this product was worth the money since we have a "big baby." (90th percentile) I read the reviews about babies outgrowing this too fast. I have to say that I LOVE this product! Our baby was born weighing 8lbs 3oz and was 21" long. He is now 10 weeks old (12 lbs 6oz)and we are still using this. I have taken it to sleep overs at grandma's and a few vacations. It's very easy to fold up and take with you. I am ready to transition him to his crib in a few weeks, when he turns 3 mos so it has lasted as long as I have wanted it to! I think that this product was perfect for what we were looking for. It allowed us to share a bed with our baby safely, which made nursing him much easier in those first few weeks! If I had to give negatives, I would say that if you have a full size bed, like we do... it's a tight fit! I have little room to sleep and for sure can't "spread out." It was perfect in the queen size bed that we used when out of town. Also, the netting that is around the base of the bed is very flimsy... so once our son started to squirm a little (past few weeks) he somehow scoots down and his legs are hanging off the bed to the side. He is not strong enough to get out yet... but that should be coming soon, so we will be transitioning him to his crib in the next few weeks. It will be nice to be able to put the whole bed inside the crib in the beginning, to ease with the transition! I really have enjoyed this product and would recommend it to anyone who wants to co sleep with their baby, it's been great to roll over and give him a little pat when he wakes for a bit at night.

It's great having her in the bed with us, the only problem I have is not all of the fabric is removable and washable...and in less than a week we've already stained it!
