[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, I'm not OP, but PP no reason to shame them for considering stuff new to market since their first! I have 5-6 years between my kids, a lot of stuff has been passed on, recalled, or we didn't use it the first time. Different house, different life stage etc...

I did consider the Dock A Tot for new baby, because we DID co-sleep way more than I expected with the first, and for much longer than I expected. So in my head, I'm busy thinking about how did things go last time, and how can I do it better this time? We had a queen bed last time, this time we do have King...so more room is a plus, and I didn't love sharing bed space with DB but, it was practical for the needs of that baby, and my sleep. The Dock A Tot seemed like a nice way to make a baby only space in the middle of our bed, especially with more space. If you are at all the sort of person to look into co-sleeping, you'll find people coming up with all sorts of plans like pool noodles under the sheets to make dividers etc...Co-sleeping in and of self is not a bad thing. However, making the sleeping space safe takes thought. Removing extra pillows/blankets/considering the mattress etc...

Ultimately, I wish the Dock A Tot was the magic sleep space, but it doesn't seem like it is. I'm likely going to use a co-sleeper type bassinet next to the bed. [/quote]

I don't get why anyone would think Dock a Tot is a safe co-sleeping solution? It's obviously not: it's the same as surrounding your baby with pillows.

That think doesn't look safe for sleeping at all.  The only way I'd use it would be to put the baby in while I was doing chores or whatever; but even that seems unsafe if the baby falls asleep and rolls into the side.  Just use a bouncy chair or swing if you don't want to put the baby on the ground.  [/quote]
