Havent tried it, but i got a next to me off marketplace and then sold it on when we were done with it.
I did it with my first, and got that exactly from the picture! She slept fine in it the first 5/6 months until we moved her to her cot in her room. I dont think theres a reason to not do it
They also take up more space so depends on room size and the sides don't always come down.
You totally could. I didn’t because the mattress wasn’t that comfortable and the shook a lot. It wasn’t as sturdy as just a bassinet
