Our first baby is due in a few months. And whilst we have the maxicosi ilora Co-Sleeper for overnight sleep, we are considering just using the bugaboo bee5 carrycot (with the top zipped off) instead of a moses basket. The main factor is space, we live in a 1-bed flat at the minute.
We are thinking that for the first couple of months, before we move to somewhere with a little more space, we can alternate between the bugaboo carrycot and the sleepyhead deluxe (on the sofa) for baby's daytime naps.
Does this sound reasonable? Obviously the baby would not stay overnight in either of these items as they'll have their own crib!
