Originally, we planned to get a playard with a bassinette feature to function as a co-sleeper in the master bedroom for the first few months. Now that we're expecting twins, I see that there is only one (kind of ugly, IMHO) Graco version for twins.
I think now we might just get two cribs- one for nursery and one for master bedroom while they can share, then move them both to the nursery when they're a little older. If we do that, should I just get one of the cheapy playard versions for quick wrangling in the future?
What have you all done? What kind of playard should I get, if any?

I remember pondering the same question before our girls were born. We ended up borrowing a Graco PNP for the master bedroom. They slept in that for about 2 weeks and then we moved them into their cribs in nursery. We used PNP in living room until about 4 months and then we borrowed a regular playpen. We are still using that, but it can only hold one baby now that they are big and rolling everywhere. It's still handy.
Borrowing was definitely the way to go since I was really undecided on what to get and knew we wouldn't use any one thing for very long. If you have to buy something, I would look for PNP on craigslist. You'll be able to use it for quite awhile.
