NOTHING is allowed on the floor - remember all carryon luggage has to go under the seat in front of you 
The bassinets come out of the wall in front in the bulkheads in planes that are so equipped. You need to make certain that you are on such a plane and that you get the bulkhead seats. You can check out http://www.seatguru.com for seat maps of most airlines
And - a side note - dont forget to get this not yet born baby a passport as soon as he/she is born

Many US carriers provide boxes with liners that you put on the floor - so this is allowed. On Qantas the bassinets are attached to the bulkhead and can't be placed on the floor - so this is a moot point. You have to reserve your bulkhead seat/bassinet when you make the booking.
