DC2 is due at the end of August. We will be in our current house until mid-December, when we'll move country (to stay with my parents for a month) and then continent (emigrating for a few years). So, baby will be approx 4 months when we leave.
The cot we had for DD was reclaimed by the relative who had lent it to us (we are now in a different country so can't re-borrow). We had to buy a second cot when we moved country, but it's fairly basic and doesn't have a drop side. Moses basket from DD is missing (2 house moves, one internationally, in 3 years... something always goes missing!) We're also going to need to pack/ship the cot & other baby equipement at our first move (I'm working on the basis that we'll sort something out when at Mum's - there's plenty of people we can borrow from temporarily).
So, I need some advice.
I'm tempted to just get a moses basket and a crib. Get a flat-pack cot (with drop side) and send it with the shipment (will be significantly cheaper to do that than to wait to destination & buy cot there). Sell/donate moses basket & crib before we leave here. Would the crib do us until 4 months?
Or do I just leave the moses basket out of the equation completely - put baby in crib for naps, and if I want/need him/her downstairs then I could use the pram?
Or should I just use the basic cot and forget about moses basket/crib compeltely?
I appear to have lost all ability to make a decision, and DH isn't helping as he can't seem to grasp the difference between crib & cot. 
Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks!
