  We used the Rock N Play with DS and it worked great.  He had a more difficult transition to the crib afterwards though.

  I was terrified of DS choking on his on vomit when he was a newborn since they tell you to put them on their backs.  Turns out, as long as they are on their backs, it is very unlikely to happen because their windpipe is below their trachea that way.  

  
  

  This link explains it a little better.  Just thought I'd share because, like I said, this was a huge fear of mine!

  With DS, we had a pack n' play with the bassinet attachment beside our bed. Made night feedings easier when I didn't have to go anywhere but the rocking chair beside that. However, with a small house and DS in a big boy bed now the crib has nowhere else to be but our room so it will be the same situation basically but more cramped.
