That was the one that really had my attention. Since I couldn't find it for the post, I had to rely on the options I saw on the Arms Reach <a href="http://www.armsreach.com" rel="nofollow">website</a>. I really like the construction of their co-sleeper in general, but two things caused me to discount it. First, I couldn't find any among their product like that fit the design of our bedroom. Even the most plain sleeper they have, the Universal I think it is, is basically a box of fabric and I didn't much like the profile of it. It seemed like it would be a heavy presence next to the bed. Plus, the fabric is quilted, as far as I could tell, and it didn't seem very "sleek" if a co-sleeper can be sleek. And second, the bed part seemed smaller than the rest that I looked at and I wanted one that would serve us for as long as our baby would stay in it. We ultimately had our daughter in our room for 4 months, and I think the Arms Reach would have not held her for that long. Of course, since we never put her in one, I'm only guessing at that point. Great question, though, thanks for asking! When I was first writing this I was looking for an Arms Reach that Pottery Barn Kids was selling a year ago, but I couldn’t find it anywhere.
