Our son was in a bassinett in our room for about 6 months. We loved having him close by & it made night feeds so much easier, especially as his bedroom is down the other end of the house. We didn't have much of an issue when it was time to move him to his cot in his own room...truthfully it was me who struggled

Ours was on wheels so we'd move him around the house in it when he was younger. Storing it hasn't been a problem as a friend borrowed it for her 2nd bub.
