Both of my LOs slept in the bassinet for the first few months and it is still assembled in my room. I guess it can be a safe spot for the baby if I need to shower or keep her away from the toddler.

We used the changing station and the napping station on our first floor for the first few months. Now we keep it in our master closet (which is attached to our master bath) and that's where LO hangs out while my husband showers in the morning. And of course we use it for travel.

Not much anymore, but we used to use it a lot when she was younger. Our place is 3 stories, so it helped to have the PNP on the main floor so we could have diaper station there.

Yep! It's next to our bed and that's where LO sleeps at night.

When we're not traveling with it it's sitting on it's side in the corner of the living room with blankets covering the mesh. It's a little cave for him (and the cats, apparently).

M goes in it while I shower. We also use it for nighttime sleep when we travel.

I use it as a safe spot to put the baby when I have to use the bathroom. Both my kids hate it, though. They just cry until I get back.

We've mainly used it for travel lately, but I want to pull it out so I can shower.

We used it for the first month as a crib in our room before we kicked him out
Now we use it for traveling or as a ball pit!

We still use the changing table at 6 months and will continue to do so until she grows out of it.

We used it for changing when she was sleeping in our room. Now it is in the basement but I think I am going to bring it back up since she is about to crawl so I have somewhere to contain her.

@lemondrop: That is such a cool idea! I am off to order balls ...
We used the PNP for naps until DS was 5 months. Our house is 2 stories and DS would fall asleep on one of us and stay asleep if we put him in the PNP. After he outgrew his cosleeper he slept in the PNP in our room for a month. But by then he'd also outgrown the bassinet and it became too much trouble putting him in and out of the PNP for middle of the night feedings. Now it's in our living room as a place to put DS if we need to leave the room.

He sleeps in it when we travel, but when we are at home it is in the living room for when I need to step out of the room since he is mobile now.

We used it as a bassinet until he was six months old and now as a travel crib. We probably travel at least once a month, and have done three vacations/long weekend trips. I used to have it set up in the living room to corral him but these days he is not interested. Still, for less than 70 bucks I feel it was a wonderful purchase! Plus we will hopefully use it with another child too.

Yes, we don't have enough space for another crib in the girls bedroom so she's in the pnp bassinet in our room. This will have to work until we find a 4-5 bdrm house!

Just for travel (which we've done a lot of this summer)-- she won't nap in it at Grandma's for some reason.

@Katrocap: Target had them for $10, BRUS also has them He LOVES it! Fair warning- he spends most of his time throwing them out, but hey, it keeps him occupied for a good 30 minutes at a time!
