  A bassinet is a convenient piece of baby equipment that allows parents to keep baby close by during those early weeks when baby is waking often and needs constant attention. However, most bassinets can only be used until baby is rolling over or pulling to his knees, sitting or standing. Parents can save money by purchasing a bassinet that can be converted to other uses when baby outgrows the bassinet.
