pack and play - opinions needed
I was thinking about using the pack and play 3 in 1 set up (changing pad, bassinet and play pen) for a bassinet when I first bring  home.
I do plan on using her crib but at night I though about using the pack and play beside my bed instead of buying a bassinet also...
What do you think?
TIA

I think you totally should, I know a lot of people here who did. It makes sense.
ETA: We put DD right in her crib, but if we were going to use a bassinet, we would have used the PNP.

Re: pack and play - opinions needed
We did the same thing. was in the bassinet in the Pack and Play until I moved her to the crib. Then we folded up the Pack and Play and now use it when we travel.

Re: pack and play - opinions needed
I am doing this. I had a 1 br apt when DS was born & planned to move when our lease was up. I did not want to buy a crib to just have to move it in a few months. DS was born in December & Our lease was up 3/31/09. We just moved into a 3br apt last week. DS has been sleeping the Pack N Play bassinet since he was born & he is still in it now at our new apt. We just put it in his room so he gets used to sleeping in the room alone. I just ordered his crib on friday & it should be here next week. I think the transition will be easy. When his crib comes, we will use the PNP when we travel and maybe also keep in the living room.
I think a seperate bassinet is a waste of money. Just another thing to pay for that will only be used for a short time. You get more for your money with the PNP.

DD slept in the bassinet part of her pack and play for the first 6 weeks...then we transitioned her to the crib.

Re: pack and play - opinions needed
That's what were planning on doing. IMO the bassinet alone is a waste of money, they're in it for such a little time that that either the pnp or crib works just fine.

This is what we did. We still use the bottom portion now (he's 16 months), though he hates it. Mostly while I shower.
He liked it fine as a bassinet though.

Re: pack and play - opinions needed
I would put the crib in your bedroom, not a packnplay.... for one important reason.....
When DS was a newborn, I was totally dependent upon my motion sensor to prevent me from obsessing about breathing  you can't use that with a packnplay......
