It’s a preference thing, but your baby will outgrow the bassinet in a few months. I didn’t realize how fast they grow, and had a bassinet at first. Then I used my pack n play with bassinet attachment until she was 10 months old since she reached the weight limit. Then I switched to a crib. Once they outgrow the bassinet part, you take it out and they can sleep at the bottom. My friends baby has slept in a pack n play like this all his life, and he’s 2 1/2. The pack n play is nice because it takes up less space. I have my baby’s crib in my room next to my bed

I got a mini pack n play and used it as a bassinet then a baby bed with my second baby until he was ready for a crib. I am using a bassinet now and will switch to the pack n play or crib when she is ready

It took my older 2 a week to adjust to anything new like that. We didn’t sleep that week 🤦🏻‍♀️ but if we kept with the routine they adjusted
