This is the one we bought. It has the rocking infant cuddle cove so you can move them from room to room while sleeping and the cove and bassinet vibrate and plays songs to soothe them. It also has the diaper changing station and can be positioned at different heights to grow with baby. It's a little more expensive than others, but it seemed worth it for the extra features.
We put this same one on our registry for the same reasons.

We just didn't need or use all the extra stuff, except for the infant insert that makes the bed of the pnp higher like you see in the second one. We used the changing table early on, but found it was actually easier to just change her on the raised bed part. Every mom friend of mine told me to get the most simple one and they were right. All the pieces have just been sitting in a closet for 2 years. If you are thinking you want storage for diapers, I'd get a seperate diaper caddy. That way you can carry it anywhere you want in the house and change LO anywhere. Our PNP has mainly ended up being used just for travel.
We had the Chicco one. We used it as a changing table for a little while, but other than that, did not use it much, except when we went away. I am not even sure that I am going to take it out this time.
DH and I registered for this one. It has "shelves" that are at the bottom under the mattress and when the time comes to lower the mattress you just take them out.

I think ours is a graco and it has the bassinet on top... Ioved that feature!
That's the one that we're getting too!
We have something like this (no longer make our pattern) https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4279439. It's fine, but if I had it to do again I'd get something more simple like this https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3687549.

This has a lot of storage space.

We are getting this one because of the storage feature.
