Product Description

This optional kit is designed to raise the Mini and Universal Co-Sleepers to properly fit your bed. The Leg Extensions raise the Co-Sleeper in 2" increments starting at 24" (normal bed height) to 30" (pillow top bed height). When full 6" extensions are used, you will find the Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet to be a comfortable bassinet or changing table. Please Note: For safety reasons only one leg extension should be used.

Customer Reviews

Unsafe, unfortunately your options are limited2
These extensions should have been included with the co-sleeper. As it is, the co-sleeper is lower than the average adult bed and the extensions are required if you want your child sleeping on your level. The fact that they sell it as a separate item is pure gouging for an extra few bucks, which is irritating. They are simple pieces of plastic and shouldn't add but a dollar or two to Arms Reach's cost.

There are twelve pieces, so you can use a max of 3 pieces per leg to increase it to the maximum height. We had to do just that, and found that the three connected pieces are *very* unstable.

It's too bad they charge so much for a poorly constructed set of unstable plastic pieces. What they should do is provide a set of pieces of varying heights, to prevent too many connections to a bed that's holding your precious child.

Shop Around1
I agree that these extenders are an inferior product and an obvious attempt by the manufacturer to gouge additional money from consumers. We found a much better product at Bed Bath & Beyond. They are intended as bed height extenders, but work perfectly with the co-sleeper. In fact, they are muc more stable than the cosleeper and they are only $12.99. Definitely shop around!

Leg extensions are best bet4
To bring the co-sleeper up to the height of the bed, these leg extensions are the best bet. Yes, as someone else said, they do make it a little shaky.
So if you are not planning to attach the co-sleeper to your bed, you may want to leave the height alone. (You'll be getting up anyway, so it probably doesn't matter how tall it is.) But once attached to the bed with the anchor strap, rather than free-standing, it was very secure.
