It was the first cot for bedside (click for source) that allowed babies to sleep close without falling over or suffocating the mattress. Clear-Vue has been in use for 25 years, and there haven't been any reported deaths or injuries.
It includes a fitted sheet and the bassinet. The bassinet is intended for newborns up to five months old or until they start pushing up on their hands and knees depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper can be purchased as an infant bassinet that can be used on its own or affixed to the parent's mattress using the strap and plate included. It is simple to switch between both modes by pulling strings. However, it does not conform to federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your child should not be left alone.
