I love this cosleeper- it is simple and it works. My baby sleeps in it at least a few hours every night without fussing, because he can smell and hear me right on the other side of it... as an anthropologist, I know that cosleeping with an infant has many benefits, not the least of which is that it reduces the risk of SIDS. Still, we are told over an over again in our own society that there is a serious risk of rolling over the baby (although this is actually very rare, unless someone is intoxicated!) This product allows me the peace of mind to know baby is safe, allows him the peace of mind of knowing I am close, and makes it impossible for me or my husband to squash him in our current sleep-deprived state.
Some people have said babies legs end up protruding out of the cosleeper - and this has happened with my baby. That is why the bottom half is soft instead of hard plastic! His face cannot get squished into the mattress or sheets, so he can always breath, and he doesn't end up with dents in his legs when he flings his feet out towards me. The top half of his body has never gotten out of the sleeper, and even when he squishes his face up against the side he can breath because there is a net that covers an open air-space in the frame, which prevents suffocation.
Bottom line - I love this thing. It is allowing me to get some sleep!Get more detail about The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary.
