Playpen

Angie • Baby#1 due in June
I'm getting a playpen for the baby to sleep in when we are at the family cottage. I'm just wondering if I need one at home? I live in a regular sized house... I just don't see the point in them? But maybe I'm missing something ? We are getting a bouncer type thing for the baby to sit in and I have a bassinet that can moved downstairs if need be. So do I really need a playpen?
