Pack and Play for sleeping?

We are going to have Norah sleeping in a room that is off from our bedroom at first and were debating on getting a bassinet or a pack and play for her to sleep in. We will move her to her crib in the nursery later on (we'll let her take naps in there early on to get used to it). My question is this.. Will she be OK sleeping in a pack and play? I've put in the link to the one we are looking at. This is our first time around with all of this so we are pretty clueless. If a bassinet is better, we'll get that for her to sleep in and just have this for trips, etc., but I just hate to spend the money on a bassinet if this works just as well/better.
Thanks ladies!

Re: Pack and Play for sleeping?
She will be fine. Babies use pack and plays for naps and sleeping all the time.
Love her name, btw.

Ditto! And actually, the one you've linked above is a lot like the one we registered for.
That's perfectly fine and safe to use. And it saves you from having to buy another baby item. I loved our pack n play with our son (ours has the same features yours has, but different colors). We had planned for him to go right in the crib when we got home, but I ended up with a C/S so we put him in our room in the PNP (it was hard for me to get in and out of bed quickly). After 2 weeks we put him in his room in the crib, and he didn't have any problems transitioning. It also was great for traveling, we used it until he turned 2 and began sleeping in a bed. I'm also one of the few that would let him play in it (on the beach, porch, etc) when it was nice to keep him contained and safe.
My nephew slept in a PnP for a good majority of his first year. My SIL had it in their bedroom and that is where he would sleep until he woke up to feed. Usually he ended up in bed with them after that lol. I don't think he slept in his crib until after 6 months old.
And his PnP looks ALOT like that one!
Thanks! Deciding on a name was difficult for us. LOL!
Thanks ladies!

We are doing a P'n'P instead of a bassinet. All four of my nanny kids started out in one (actually they all started out sleeping in the changing table portion so my boss could see the baby from the bed since the changing table was up higher in the P'n'P than the newborn raised portion). Then they started sleeping in the attached raised portion and by the time they were able to sit, they were moved into a regular crib.
That is what we are planning on doing with our LO. My other boss had a bassinet for her son and it only lasted until he was 3 months old because he was so long that he was cramped in it.
