I co-slept with my first two daughters without a co-sleeper. I had looked and these and were interested in one, but could not justify $50. With my 3rd daughter I came across one for $10. Since my toddlers were constantly on my bed, I thought it might be a good idea.
It is constructed well.
It is short, my newborn fills it, but since she often curls her feet,it works
I use it for naps and I don't have to lay with her to get her to fall asleep.
Since the bottom is firm, I can scoot it or move a sleeping baby to the crib without waking her.
It is not as convenient as waking and nursing a co-sleeping baby as you have to LIFT her over the edge 4" and "lift" her back into it instead of just rolling over and scooting the baby. I have to sit up to lift her properly since I have to support her head.
It is nice if you want your own space to sleep on your stomach, etc.
It is nice if my spouse has had a drink or two and will be sleeping extra soundly, I have no worries. (before I would sleep with the baby by the edge of the bed)
You can use it as a bassinet putting it on the couch, etc.
If you can get it at a reasonable price, I would recommend it. It has more than $10 in material, so I got a steal I think the store had them mis-marked. At $25 it may be a good idea. Get more detail about The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary.
