Bassinet is such a short time stage, a couple of months. So it seems like a pack n playard with bassinet will just be fine for the job. But Summer Infant Soothe and Sleep Bassinet is too adorable to begin with. When I held the motor it seemed like it had a jiggly thing in it. later I realised this is how the soother gets its mojo of gently rocking and vibrating the bassinet. And along with it are soothing classical music, gurgling water, bird sounds and womb sounds (reminds me of ultra sound). The canopy doesnt hold well in place.
