Although every family is different, many parents decide to introduce their newborn first to a bassinet and later to a crib. It is safe for an infant to sleep in either bed, but parents initially pick a bassinet over a crib because of its size. Parents find that the smaller size of a bassinet makes their small baby feel more secure while it sleeps.
Whichever decision you make, we know you'll want the best crib or bassinet available. The most popular cribs here are from Graco. Reviewers say their cribs are cute, practical and affordable. If you've decided to try a bassinet first, pick up the convertible bassinet from Simplicity for Children.
