i got both for Ziggy.. but they are basically never ysed. Ziggy has slept in bed with me since day 1 and I pretty much didnt do the crate training (i couldnt handle him crying, lol) But i do use the crate for traveling and he does go to his bed once in a while if im standing at the time when he wants to nap. If you can afford to get both. If not, then i think a crate, because it doubles as a bed/traveling and for training
oh and Cingrats on the new baby
