I have a great pack-n-play for our room for the first three months or so, but I want a bassinet because it's smaller. I found one on craigslist, emailed her, sent some texts and pictures and agreed to buy it. I met up with her and see the bassinet fist hand.. it is filthy! So nasty! hair, crap, stained! None of this in the pictures.
Luckily, it didn't have batteries so I had no way to test it (this is the reason I gave for walking away) DH said "that would have went right in the trash, if you want one just buy it new). So much for trying to save a few bucks.
I understand baby things being used/need a good scrubbin'... but this was just over the top.
waste.of.time.
I think I need to just stick with the pack n play, but a bassinet looks so cozy.
BTDT, what did/do you use for the first few months if you're sharing a room?
This is what I have.
