I used playpen for up to 4 yrs until my aggresive toddler tore it down 😅
With my new baby, I used hands down baby cot from my SIL but personally I prefer playpen cos you don't need to buy bumpers.
You may want to consider a cot tt can be converted to a toddler bed which I'm using now. Can use for a longer time so don't need to keep buying new one for at least the first 3-4 years.
