Sleep options during the day

We have a next to me for upstairs overnight, however this wont be brought downstairs.

Other than a moses basket what other options are there for baby sleeping during the day downstairs.

Previously used a moses basket for DS with no issues. Just mindful they grow out the moses basket super quick and honestly I don't want to buy a moses basket, along with more sheets/mattress protectors just for daytime if there's better options anyone can recommend

TIA

Use a detachable pram carrycot? Providing baby with you all the time absolutely fine.

My baby’s been sleeping in the pram bassinet.

Another vote for pram bassinet/carrycot. We had ours on a stand and perfected getting DD on and off it without waking her!

Make sure it's rated for overnight snoozes though, as they're not really supposed to sleep in them for any real length of time otherwise. Can double up as a travel cot option too in the very early stages.

We used a travel cot that doubled as a playpen for downstairs. Also useful for travel (obviously!)

We have used the purflo next, it's approved for safe sleep, but we only use it during the day. We just removed a back sofa cushion and popped the nest on the sofa. DD is approaching 10 weeks and still has plenty of growing room in it and it's meant we can easily reach her at all times.

*nest autocorrect 😑

We had a Sleepyhead with DS. Easily moved about. It's been used by 4 other children in the meantime.
We'll use it again once DD is here in a few weeks.
