Expecting first baby. We live in a 1 bedroom in Manhattan - not sure what we are going to do before we move. (baby will be here for 6 months)We are going to get a Bugaboo. Can the baby sleep in the bassinet feature instead of buying a real bassinet? Has anyone else done this?? Do you take it off or keep it on the wheels?? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

only a real bassinet is designed with SIDs in mind. Pack n' plays, strollers, etc. are not, because they are designed to only be used with an adult around. [ Reply | More

obviously cribs and travel cribs are also designed according to sids specifications as well, just in case that's not obvious. [ Reply | More

We are moving when out lease is up and when you pay 3500 a month in rent, 1000 on a stroller seems normal. and I didn't ask your opinion on the price - just the use. [ Reply | More

huh? I didn't comment on the price, just the fact that it doesn't meet SIDs specs probably. [ Reply | More

I'm sorry -- response not meant for you. It was for the person who made a comment about the 1000$ price tag. New to the boards... not sure how to use them :) [ Reply | More

By the way, something that you probably hadn't thought of, a bassinet or crib is nice because the baby is not to spit up a lot, etc. The bugaboo isn't going to stay pretty at all if the baby is spending 12 hours a night + naps sleeping in it. Do they make sheets for the bugaboo? if not, I wouldn't just for the sake of convenience. [ Reply | More

ITA. I wouldn't worry about anything. Lots of babies are in their parents' room for 6 months...and longer. A crib will be fine. [ Reply | More

ITA - the advantage of a basinett is that it can be kept in your room. If you are in a 1BR w/ the crib in your room, just use that. [ Reply | More

I don't see why not. Those Bugaboos are wonderful. You can get a special sids prevention cushion to go inside...ask the pump station in LA. Even if you're not in LA, they are really helpful and can explain what you need. And I'd leave the wheels on so you can rock her when she gets fussy. GL! [ Reply | More

those "sids prevention cushions" are actually a sids risk if you look it up. [ Reply | More

is it just me or does it seem ridiculous to spend $1000+ on a stroller when you're living in a 1 bedroom with your kid? [ Reply | More

NP - We are doing the same thing and 1st - a Bugaboo is $900, not $100+, second - it is a temporary situation until our lease is up (and we already pay $4000 for a large 1BR so a $900 isn't a big deal. We had a two year lease and didn't expect to get pg so soon and I'm sure OP is in a similar situation. Don't judge w/o facts. [ Reply | More

it won't work for six months. i would just buy a crib and put it in your bedroom. we used our bug a ton, and db slept in the bassinett whenever we traveled (and on walks), but as soon as they can move around, roll over, etc., it's not big enough. [ Reply | More
