It's just for a few months, right? If you plan on using the pnp as just a bassinet for a few months, I'd say use it but move your LO to a crib after that. Then, you'll have the pnp for other uses later!

My LO didn't like the PnP (maybe because the mattress was uncomfortable?) so we ended up borrowing a basinette which he loved. A lot of moms love the pack n play though. It just didn't go well with my LO.

Our LO won't sleep in the pnp once she outgrew the bassinet. Maybe if we got a better mattress for the bottom part but she prefers the crib.

we never used our pack n play at home, but it was great for travel and grandma's. so if you're thinking you'll only use it in the first couple of months in your room and not as a playard as well, you could go with a bassinet instead or the rock n play like mrs yoyo suggested.

i'm with @mrs. yoyo - added the rock n play to my registry:

i do have crib in mind too - the sorelle sophia. but i also have a pack n play, but wasn't planning to use the bassinet portion of it for nighttime sleep. we're also thinking of returning the pack n play.

you definitely need a crib, so if you have to choose, i'd choose the crib. there was a thread about using crib from day 1. sounds like lots of people do it.

We ended up just getting a pack 'n play with the bassinet feature. It also has a changing table which was great when DD was a newborn. The bassinet pack n' play has worked awesome for us! We kept it in our master & just took it with us for weekends away, etc. I sometimes dream of a pretty bassinet for the next baby, but honestly we never missed not having one. We still use it when DD is having really bad teething pain & is up many times at night...it's just easier sometimes to put her back to sleep in our room.
