Arm's Reach Co-sleeper: where to buy?

[LionsandBears]

Does anyone know where we can buy an Arm's Reach co-sleeper in Melbourne? The ABA store has a couple, put there's some newer designs that look great, so was hoping to view a wider range.

Has anyone used one? How did you find it?

TIA

Hi Tash

I used an arm's reach cosleeper for DS, I found it really good - I wanted him close enough to touch during the night, but felt uneasy having a tiny baby in bed with me.

I bought mine in the US, but prior to that option becoming available, I was going to order one through my bonding babies.

I bought one of the mini ones, which lasted until DS was a good six months old I think.

I got mine through mothersdirect cos I wanted my 10% discount haha. That was nearly 3 years ago so I don't know what's available now.

hi, theres a couple for sale on ebay. not sure about in baby stores, ive never seen them in any ive looked in.
they look like a really good idea, was going to get one but got a 2nd hand bassinet thats the same height as our bed anyway so couldnt justify the expense :P
good luck finding one!!

I saw heaps around 2 years ago after ds was born, and thought that's a great idea, but this time i couldn't find anything about them. it's like they went out of vogue or something.

I ended up buying the king parrott cradle, it's kind of a cross between a cradle & basinette and isn't too high, so I can put it beside the bed or wheel it into another room.

it doesn't rock, and is a long rectangle, so will last more months than a clasic basinette. best of all it just happens to match the cot & change table we got for ds so I have a matching set now if I ever want t sell it all.
