Co-Sleepers

I'm looking at the Arm's Reach Mini co-sleeper and came across this. Does anyone have it/ recommend it? It's about $60 cheaper.

My SIL had one, it was basically just a mini pack and play. I still prefer my arms reach co-sleeper because the side drops and I can attach it to my bed. I got my Arms Reach cheap on craigslist, have you tried looking there?

I've been keeping an eye out on CL but haven't found anything close enough to me to make it worth it. Hopefully something will pop up soon.

I used the travel lite for about 4m for DD. I was very happy with it. I bought one at BRU with a 20% off coupon and sold it on EBay when done so it really only cost me $20-$25, possibly less. I can't remember. It was awesome the one time we had to travel and didn't need a full sized PNP. She was super long/tall or we would have used it longer.

I think we only used the bassinette we had for about four months or so, too. I don't need anything to last too long since baby will be rooming with us for a while and we have a spot ready for the crib when needed.

I think it looks sturdier than a bassinette. I was just trying to find cheaper alternatives since this is our last bambino

We borrowed a bassinet with DS but it wasn't available for kid #2. I was hoping DS would be out of his crib by the time DD grew out of the mini PNP but it did not happen...so we ended up with 2 full sized cribs for 9m. But, most kids don't insist on staying in their crib until they are 3.5 YO. Oh well....a person ought to be able to have some say in where they sleep...anyway, it was very convenient for us, especially given the final cost. We do have a regular PNP but this was so much easier and cozier for a NB.
Sounds like you'll be fine with what you have!

Have you seen this? http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3739296&CAWELAID=405207590

It didn't work well for us, but it looks like everyone else in the world likes it...and it's pretty inexpensive. It's not as flimsy as you might think, but it's obviously not as 'sturdy' as a co-sleeper would be.
