crib or bassinet or both !?

Kara
How many of you used a bassinet ? Or did any of you just put the baby right in the crib the first day? Or did you have both a bassinet and crib? I'm looking into bassinets and I know that it will only be used a short amount of time and they are expensive ! Thinking about possibly borrowing one from a friend or looking into used. Just afraid about the safety of used bassinets. Not sure that I want to put the baby in the crib from day one since I plan on breast feeding. Thoughts are appreciated ! Thanks !
