I need help picking a bassinet !!

Well let’s start with the simple fact that I was going to out baby right in the crib but since I’m scheduled for a c section I could use the convenience of one.

I was looking at pack and plays to start as I noticed it’s definitely more bang for your buck but our room right now is just too small for a pack and play to fit. So I started looking at regular bassinets with all that padding and stuff on it looks like little baby carriages. I’m just curious as to the safety of those I mean they still sell them but it looks baby would suffocate instantly.

Which makes me feel like the only option are smaller sized mesh ones . I for one am definitely not planning on spending more than $100 so unless that little halo one has been gently used you can forget it.

Anyone have any recommendations?
