is it better to get a crib or a pack in play that is a crib?

I'd get both honestly

I have both. I use the pack n play in our room and it's easy to move to the living room as well.

I only got pack and plays with my son and doing the same with my babygirl

I got both also!

I have both. We have a multi level house. I put her crib in her room, bassinet in our master & pack n play on the main level

I also have both just in case
