i found the bassinette handy in the early days as depending on the stroller, its how u turn it into a reversable one? so the bassinette faces the opposite way (well it does with the beema anyway). but in saying that i had to use folded up terry nappies to prop up bubbies head as she had reflux and hated lying flat in it. the only problem with the big fancy prams is their size in your car. we got a new car after bub was born and our pram didn't fit it so we ended up using that pram for walks around the block and a cheap target stroller for out and about that has different lying positions. its only really good for the shops though as the wheels are crap on the street.
