Downstairs Sleeping?

Once out little one outgrows the Moses basket, we hope to move naps upstairs and use the baby monitor and check on her periodically xx
We have a travel cot in the living room for him
We did contact naps, either cuddled on sofa or wearing him in a baby carrier. Then slowly transitioned to sleeping upstairs in cot for naps to get him used to it for night time sleep. Or if we’d gone for a walk and he’d fallen asleep then he’d stay asleep in the pushchair bassinet :)
My girl was in Moses basket until she was like 5 months I think. You could use a play mat on the floor. Pram bassinet.
We have a travel cot that has a bassinet attachment x
My first had a bassinet but hated it and ended up contact napping mostly so I didn’t bother with the basket for my second. Number 2 is a better sleeper, so I bring baby upstairs for naps. It’s not as much of a chore as you’d think - babies nap less as they get older so there’s less back and forth than there would be at day 11 ☺️
We used a compact travel cot (joie kubbie) but tbh I started naps in cot upstairs around 5/6mths
We used the Chicco hug air 4 in 1 for downstairs which had plenty of space and lasted her a really long time and also went into high chair for weaning! If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on something else I would just contact nap which we also did a lot too or like above said use a travel cot :)
Pram bassinet can be used for supervised sleep, some can be used for overnight. We bought a cheap co-sleeper to replace the moses basket.
