Maybe there is a niche market for bassinets for long babies lol. She’s nowhere near the weight limit so I was hoping to make it work longer. [/quote]

Can you just do the travel crib for nighttime sleep and use her crib or another container for naps? That will at least cut down on how much you have to lift her in and out while she's still too young to pull herself up (at which point it gets a bit easier to do this part, though also they are heavier so it also gets harder!).

You could also try the travel crib and see how it goes, and if it's really uncomfortable for you, just bite the bullet on the crib. OR you could set the crib up in your bedroom and just plan on moving it to your older DD's room when it's time. That may require dismantling the crib and putting it back together, but it might be worth it.

The thing about bassinets and long babies is that the main reason you're supposed to move babies out of the bassinet is that once they can roll and sit up, the bassinet poses a falling risk because it's too shallow. We had to move our baby out of the bassinet at like 2.5 months because she was rolling, could push her head and chest several inches off the ground, and was starting to reach out and grab the edge of the bassinet and pull. It was hilarious because at first I was like "oh wow my baby is SO advanced, she's a genius" and then I realized that it meant she was super mobile at like 3 months old and I was screwed. A classing FTM mistake![/quote]
