I need everyone's favorite bedside bassinet recommendations please:
-under $200
-fairly tall (top of our mattress is 38" ish and I'm having a c section so minimal bending)
Nice to have:
Portable for trips to Nana & Pa's house
Bonus if it's buy buy baby/Target/bed bath & beyond because I have 20% completion coupons for them.

I loved our Bassinest. Definitely not portable but if I were you and would be traveling to parents a lot I would just get a used pack and play to leave there. Swivels and was great for my first Caesarian. Will be using again!

@skiierchck99: @skinnycow: did you get the glide or the swivel?
The room we sleep in at my parents is kind of tight, so I'm hoping for something operable... BUT my sister is having twins about 8 weeks after I have my daughter, so know my mom and might just buy something to keep at the house for all the babies.

We used an Uppababy Vista basinet with a jolly jumper stand to make it rock. It worked well and was super portable (we wouldn’t take the stand with us but brought the basinet to a lot of different places).

@Sams Mom: I have the swivel. Tbh I didn’t know there was another kind but now I am intrigued!

@skinnycow: @skiierchck99: I pulled the trigger on the bassinest. Thankfully between gift cards and discount it was $93, now to see if baby girl likes it. 🤦♀️

@Sams Mom: You will not regret it. That was our best baby purchase!! Resale is high, too.

@Sams Mom: yay! I don’t think dd liked it more or less than should would have anything but it was great for me with the swivel and adjustable height. I could basically pull her right up over my side of the bed which is as close to cosleeping as I’m willing to get lol. And like @mediagirl said, resale is high - I actually bought ours used!
