I got a "travel bassinet" that folds up--we used it all day. On the couch, on the floor, wherever. It was great! But we had him right by me in the crib at night from the get go--the bassinet was for day use for us.

We use a rock n play for naps and also used it for sleep the first couple of weeks. Now we use a pack n play with a bassinet level (he's 2 months old). He doesn't seem to mind the crappy mattress in the slightest, and likes the vibration feature ours has.

We used the Cariboo folding bassinet: http://www.amazon.com/Cariboo-Folding-Bassinet-Espresso/dp/B007BIPGFS/ref=sr_1_10?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1362195556&sr=1-10

I liked it, and it was nice having the baby next to the bed in the early days (sometimes I wish we still did - I miss him when he's sleeping in his nursery!). It was also great to be able to move it around the apartment - when he was a newborn we put it next to the couch in the living room during the day, and he took naps in it and sometimes played in it a little.

We got the Uppababy Vista and are planning on using the bassinet that comes with it.

Just for a different opinion, I'll say that, though we used the RNP for the first 2 weeks, I was really uncomfortable letting LO sleep in it for long stretches at night. Because his chin is always tucked into his chest in it, and that's not really safe. Maybe it's just the way I was positioning him? But we switched to a bed cosleeper (http://www.amazon.com/Summer-Infant-Sleeper-Portable-Bedding/dp/B005ASKQ42) and I LOVE it. We have a king size bed though, so we have plenty of room for it.
