Stroller Bassinet for sleeping?

I need some input please. We will be moving within a month or so after LO is born. I need temporary sleeping arrangements since we don't want to set up a crib and all that just to have to take it down and move it etc. I'm considering just purchasing a bassinet that attaches to the stroller. Like the Britax Affinity Bassinet. Is this okay for baby to actually sleep in for a few weeks? Has anyone else used this option at all? Thx!

Re: Stroller Bassinet for sleeping?

  • Thanks @Ainslie325 I just want to make sure baby is safe and that it's okay to sleep in. Seems like they're the same as any other bassinet, just more portable. The new mom in me is just super paranoid that it's not okay. The reason I'm thinking of this option is because I have large dogs and I want something out of their reach and also not as easily knocked over as just a free standing bassinet.

  • I've never seen the ones that attach to strollers, so I'm no help there.  We used the Rock n' Play Sleeper and it was my favorite baby item ever!  It sounds like it might fit your needs if you are interested.  Super light weight, folds up flat, travels easy.  We used it for first 3+ months before moving DS to his nursery.  It traveled everywhere with us and was even set up outside in the shade when we were out working because it was so easy.  This reminds me, I need to get it back from my cousin before DD arrives in December.  We put her DS in it when they were here for a family gathering and she ended up packing it up in her car that day because she loved it!  Good luck with finding what works best for you!!!
  • Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm really leaning toward the Chicco Urban stroller w/bassinet but I may end up just getting both and see what I like best. The Urban will convert to a toddler stroller down the line and fits the car seat too. And the pack n play we can use while traveling.
