I think basinettes and cradles are the most gorgeous thing to buy... I wanted one with our first but thought it wasnt parctical... But as a gift my MIL brought me one... Its lovely... Unfortunatley my DS sisnt like to sleep in it... first week was great then he went off it. so we didnt get much ise out of it... This time round my DD apeared to be the same but i put up with the crying and now she loves sleeping in it... She'll be in there for few more weeks til she's too big. Unfortuatley they dont make them as big as the older ones.

I agree with the post about ebay... a friend of mine brought hers on ebay for a great price of $80... my MIL paid $230 + for ours.
