I'm looking into bassinets and cots for our baby, and came across compact cots (specifically the Boori one). I've heard from a lot of people you won't need a cot for a long time and some babies barely use them anyway.. our bedroom is not huge but probably could fit a compact cot. Has anyone used one vs a bassinet, and what are the main benefits or downsides? I'm assuming the bassinet can get closer to the bed and would be easier to for example get the baby without getting up etc. but I'm thinking the compact cot would last longer and could then also work in the nursery once the baby moves there. Thoughts on secondhand bassinets as well? Just conscious they're more fabric-y than cots so I imagine harder to clean?

We're expecting our first baby, and looking into prams. My sister is having a baby 4 weeks apart, and we plan to have a second in a few years. It would be good then, to be able to add a second seat to the same pram to be able to take two babies in it. There's so many options and we're not sure what looks best.

Ones we've been looking into include:

- Cybex Gazelle S

- Babybee Juno

- Nuvo2 pram

Ideally we're thinking sort of mid-range - something good but not super expensive. Has any one had experience with these or recommend any others?
