I bought a pack n play and my son used it till he was 14 months.
Sometimes the pack n plays have a high attachment for when they’re really little. I found that really useful because I always had trouble keeping them asleep when I had to bend over and lower them down really low
And the pack n and May was great for travel too
I was fortunate enough to have a bassinet, crib & play yard which I used all of them! The bassinet lowers so it can be used longer.
Pack and play will give you lots of use even after baby moves out of room
I’m debating also because I live in a small apartment!
It depends on how tall your family n his family is, my daughter is 26 inches at 7 months. Everyone thinks she’s lik 1.
