Moses baskets

Advice on what to look for when choosing a Moses basket plus the opportunity to purchase a range of wicker and traditional moses baskets, basket stands and covers.


Discuss moses baskets on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.

A Moses basket is one option for your baby's first bed. It is a woven basket with handles and often a hood. It is usually lined with a padded cotton lining, and often a quilt. It is often used on a stand, which can be bought separately.

A Moses basket is portable and small enough to keep next to your bed, which can be convenient for night time feeds, however as Moses baskets tend to be quite small, in general they will only last for the first few months of your baby's life.

Additionally it is worth baring in mind that some babies do not like sleeping in a Moses basket.

I think moses baskets and small cribs are a waste of money. . .they last for such a short time that they aren't worth bothering with, in my opinion. There are a few different options out there for having a baby in the room with you. . .a Bednest, which is small and can be used up to about 6 months, a drop side cot, like Mama's and Papa's, which can be used by your bed and then moved to your baby's own room when you want to, or an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper Bedside Cot, which attaches to your bed but can also be used as a free standing cot. So, depending on your budget and the size of your room, there are a lot of much better options than moses baskets out there!
