For many new parents, the holidays are both magical and overwhelming—especially when it involves travel. Whether you’re heading to grandma’s house, visiting relatives across the country, or celebrating in a cozy cabin, your baby’s sleep safety remains the top priority.
Sleep routines may shift with travel, but one thing that shouldn’t? A safe and comfortable place for baby to rest, always within arm’s reach.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), room-sharing is recommended for the first 6 to 12 months of a baby’s life. Not only does this help tired parents respond more easily to nighttime needs, but it can also reduce the risk of SIDS by up to 50%. When you’re on the go, preparing a familiar and secure sleep environment can make all the difference.
That’s where a trusted travel-friendly bassinet comes in, like the Arm’s Reach® Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet.
Here’s how to co-sleep safely, whether at home or away this holiday season:
1. Start with a Compact, Portable Bassinet
If your holiday travel includes tight hotel rooms or a packed guest bedroom, a full-size crib won’t cut it. Opt for a compact, easy-to-set-up bassinet. Arm’s Reach® Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet was designed with space-saving and convenience in mind, while still giving a baby a cozy, secure environment for sleep. It folds quickly for travel and even includes a carry case.
2. Keep Baby Within Arm’s Reach
Traveling is exhausting for everyone, especially new parents. The Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1® can be securely attached to your bed, so you can care for a baby without getting up. A gentle touch, a whispered reassurance—it’s all easier when a baby is right next to you. And that’s especially helpful during postpartum recovery.
3. Look for Drop-Down Sides for Easy Access
Whether you’re recovering from a C-section or just trying to limit lifting while on the road, the bassinet’s drop-down side lets you care for your baby with less physical strain. Lift, feed, and comfort without the stress on your body.
4. Adjustable Height for Any Bed
No two beds are the same—especially when you’re sleeping away from home. Adjustable height ensures a baby’s sleep surface stays level with yours, whether you’re in a guest room, hotel, or Airbnb.
5. Storage That Travels With You
The Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1® includes side pockets and under-bassinet storage, so you can keep diapers, wipes, burp cloths, and even an extra onesie within arm’s reach—no midnight shuffle to your suitcase needed.
6. Don’t Skip the Safety Check
No matter how festive the occasion, always check that your sleep gear meets Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards. Arm’s Reach® has led the co-sleeping category for 25 years, with designs rooted in both comfort and compliance.
Celebrate the Season with Peace of Mind—and Peaceful Sleep
The Arm’s Reach® Mini Ezee™ 2-in-1® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet makes it easier to stick to your baby’s sleep routine no matter where the holidays take you. It’s compact, intuitive, and built with the same trusted safety features that have made Arm’s Reach® a go-to for generations of families.
So pack the onesies, grab the baby monitor, and make room for something that matters most: a safe sleep space that feels like home.
