I like the bassinet too! I have seen a couple at babies r us that are bassinet / crib and I absolutely love those . Like some.of you said better safe than sorry & being close to the baby when they're smaller is so much better!

I have both, the bassinet is a family heirloom on babys dads side, so ill be giving it back when my son is too big for it, and then I'll set his crib up.

I use both as well, the first few months he will sleep in a bassinet in my room so he's close and I will be able to check on him and get him easily then afterwards he will go in his room when he's big enough and sleeps more through the night on his own

I have a crib and I just bought a pack n play/bassinet combo but its the kind that sits on top of the pack n play and is in line with the bed so its sorta like a cosleeper edition .. i was dead set on getting a bassinet too until I seen this pack n play .. its more bang for your buck and will serve more of a purpose in my opinion

Same here...I feel more comfortable for my baby to be in a bassinet when she's first born.  I have the bassinet in my room and a crib in her room. Some people say a bassinet isn't worth it but I'd rather be safe than sorry

I bought a pack n play that comes with the bassinet on top and that's what I'm going to use for the first couple of months. That way I don't have to spend money on a bassinet just to use for a month or two.. a pack n play is good for a year and a half, tops lol.

In my opinion, a bassinet is good for when they're tiny. I had one with my daughter and loved it. I got one for my son too. A crib is good when they're a couple months old and you're ready to move your baby to his/her room. So I guess they're both good buys. Good luck!
