Mtn Buggy bassinette vs. car seat&clip

I haven't used either yet...but I decided to go for the bassinette option rather than the carseat clip mainly because I can use the bassinette as a bed when visiting friends and family...or around the house if baby doesn't like the hammock. And the baby would be lying flat rather than hunched over in the capsule.
I guess the carseat clip would be handy in some instances, but I felt that I wouldn't want to leave the baby in the capsule for extended periods anyway so would probably want to transfer from the capsule into the bassinette if I was going to be away from the car for a long time... If just at the supermarket or something then the capsule can just go on the trolley and I wouldn't even worry about getting out the buggy!

There are loads of second hand bassinettes/carrycots on trademe too so you can get a reasonably good deal - seeing as they're only really used for the first 3-4 months anyway or until baby tries to sit up to see out!

I don't like the idea of pushing them around in their carseats so have the bassinet, I much prefer that bubs be flat than hunched up. I don't supose you actually need either though really.

the clip on wheels can be really handy for a capsule, especially if you have had a c-section and need to take an older child to kindy etc and don't want to wake a sleeping baby etc etc. You can hire the wheels from plunket and possibly baby on the move. (although the reccommendation is not to leave a baby in a capsule more than strictly necessary)

I just picked up a carry cot (MB) on TM for $80, comes with a rain cover too - I'm stoked as I really wanted one first time round but they were still too spendy then. I'm planning on taking good care of it and selling it one when we are done, even if I only get $40 back I think it will be a great spend.

We had both and found them to be really useful. The carseat clip was great if I needed to go to the mall and she fell asleep in the car. Just handy for nipping hear or there. The bassinett was her bed for the first 4 months and was really useful as I did lots of walking and she would sleep and then didn't have to worry about how to get her in the house when I got home. The one to gets depends on what you do most, walking - without car, or quick nips here and there with the car. Hope that helps

I hired a MTB bassinet and wished I had just bought one so I had it for future babies. Only used it for 3-4 months but it was used A LOT. We used it as a bed when we went out for day naps (when she wasn't sleeping on me) and she spent a lot of nights sleeping in their when she was a newborn... could rock her to sleep in it and then no way did we want to move her!!!
