Cot bed, crib or Moses basket?

I had a Moses basket to use in the day downstairs and a next to me crib for night, but my little girl slept in the Moses basket at night for probably about 5/6 weeks before she went into her next to me because she hated it 😂x
This is my third and from my past experiences I chose to get a crib and a Moses basket, the Moses basket has a little rocking stand to set it in so I’ll use that next to my bed for the first few months and move it around throughout the day if I need to, I might not get use out of the crib for a few months but it’s nice to have something solid and sturdy to lay the baby down and step out for a minute if you need to breath and are overwhelmed. Also my babies started going on all fours and rocking and moving around too much to be safe in a bassinet or Moses basket around 4 months so that’s when I started using the actual crib
I used a moses basket until 3m old and then transitioned to a next to me forever cot.
We used a moses til nearly 4 months then switched straight into the cot which will turn into a cotbed after
You don’t need both a crib and a cot bed, a cot bed is a crib that converts to a toddler size bed. I would recommend a Moses basket for downstairs x
