I had the arms reach mini for DD. I loved it.

But she was growing out of it by 3.5 months.

So if you want it to last longer, I suggest NOT getting the mini. Cuz if you end up having a big baby, you might not get much use out of it.

I had the mini co-sleeper and I absolutely loved it. It was as if he was sleeping with me, but in actuality he was sleeping separately and was safe. I would wake up to any little peep from him and would comfort him immediately. I think this is why he also started sleeping longer stretches so quickly. I got a solid 5-6 hours from him by 6 weeks. He was STTN by 10 weeks (9-6).

ETA: I sold mine, but for #2 I will use a Pack n Play instead.

I would not get the mini. I had the regular and it's pretty small as it is.

I have the mini one for DD#2 - I loved mine - my parents got us a second one for naps so I din't have to bring it up and down. I got a lot of use out of both of them. DD #2 was 9lbs 5ozs at birth I stopped using it at 3 months NOT b/c she outgrew it but b/c she was rolling all over and was smooshing her face against the non mesh side. I only used them as bassinets not co-sleepers. I highly recommend them.

I've used it for both my boys and I love it. Still use the full-size one with my 10 month old, although he does crawl into bed with me when he wakes up!
