Default Arms Reach Cosleeper

Just wondering if anyone has used the arms reach cosleeper and if so some feedback?
I'm wondering - is it possible to put baby in there safely alone? I mean, is there something that can go across the bed side so baby can't get out? does that make any sense?!!
My bub is 9 months old and has always been in bed with me and hubby out BUT Zaccy is starting to take up a lot of room.... and hubby is wanting back in! It's a lot of $$ so i guess i'm just looking for some advice from people who have used one before buying. It just looks like a good option...?

hi lg
i haven't used one but they look great
another option that we have done is that my dp has taken the side of our cot and it is right up flush on the side of our bed- sort of like a little side car, if that makes sense? he has tied it with rope around the base of the bed so it is really secure.
we find it works really well.

I am also considering buying one of these, so would love to hear feedback from anyone who's used one.

I haven't seen one IRL, but my impression is that there is a slight drop between your bed and the co-sleeper, so baby can't roll out of his/her bed into yours. Not sure that it'd stop a 9 month old though...

Have seen but not used. I don't know anyone who has used one but I do have a friend who has done what Rainforest has done with the cot.

Oskar was in a hammock to start with next to my side of the bed and now is in his cot still next to me. That way we have our own sleeping space but he's still just arms length away from me.
