Bassinet or playpen for downstairs?

So I really can’t decide whether to buy a bassinet/ moses basket or a playpen for baby no2 while he/she naps. I want to keep her close to me as a newborn, so wouldn’t feel comfortable taking her upstairs to her crib. I also want the place of sleep to be perfectly safe. I think moses baskets are soo cute and have always dreamt of having one, on the other hand I think a playpen could be used for longer as a safe place to put the baby down if I need to attend to DD etc.

What do you all have for downstairs sleeping arrangements? And what are your experiences with a playpen? I never bought one for DD as when she was a baby we had a smaller open plan flat, so was easy to always keep an eye on her and she really wouldn’t have stayed in a playpen on her own.

Thank you for your opinions. That’s a good point about the baby rolling over, i was just thinking if the baby is small as our DD was, he/she would be able to use it for longer but it’s actually not the case. So I will start looking for playpens instead

Very good point, I am thinking of making/ ordering a custom fit mattress so it fits perfectly and is safe.

Actually DH doesn’t agree in case it wouldn’t fit perfectly, so I have found some traditional style wooden ones with wheels where you can buy a proper mattress too. They are not much larger than a crib, but at least it will be a safe place to sleep downstairs for as long as needed and then if we will need to upgrade to a bigger playpen later we can do that.
