I don't think you necessarily need both... I think that the bassinet or cradle is easier for newborns because it's smaller

Re: Bassinet and Crib...
I love the look of a bassinet but I did not have one with billy nor will I this time either. For no other reason then just simply not having the room for both.. Billy was born very tall and grew so fast that he wouldnt of been able to stay in one very long anyways.. Would you belive this kid is almost 5 foot tall and only in 2nd grade lol

I have both, but I do not believe you NEED a bassinet. I wanted a bassinet for my bedroom for the first few months. I can also wheel it into another room if I want. You need a crib and somewhere to change the baby safely.

I like the one that you can put right next to your bed. I think its a travel one & combination playpen.

You don't need both. A crib is more economical. The baby will be in the bassinet up to the 3rd or 4th month, if you are lucky.
