Moba Contemporary Moses Basket (Cornflower)

Product Information

If you’re weighing up the pros and cons of different kinds of newborn beds, you’ve come to the right place. A Moses basket is great for if you want a space-saving first bed you can use at night as well as safely and easily carry around the house. Plus, the best Moses baskets are perfect for storing teddies in when you’re finished with them. The subtly sparkling liner and coverlet is made of soft, washable and breathable muslin and while the basket would probably be suitable only for around the first four months, it will certainly keep baby cosy and comfortable. Towels, bedding, changing mats and pillows are available in the same print. The oak-effect structure feels a little on the cheap side but this also makes the crib relatively lightweight – and with a travel bag included, this is a good option for both home and away. This is because there is no risk of you rolling onto your baby as you sleep and less risk of them overheating or rolling out of bed. Keeping them close, perhaps next to the bed, allows you to monitor them safely. Moses basket, crib or cot

Isn’t that what all new parents want? Not all moses baskets or cribs are made equal. They vary in size, shape and function, from snug, traditional woven palm baskets with handles to modern wood or metal and fabric cribs that can attach to the side of parents’ beds. Moses baskets are made from breathable materials and provide a flat surface for babies to sleep on - in terms of expert guidance around SIDS, they’re very safe. Not all Moses basket mattresses come with a waterproof cover, so it’s worth buying one of these if yours doesn’t. How long can a baby sleep in a moses basket? A simple push button releases the sliding, breathable mesh sides to enable easy access to your baby during the night – a neat feature and improvement to the more common zip-down side-sleeping crib sides. However, assembly is probably a two-person job and not particularly intuitive or easy.SOFTNESS: Fleece is known for its soft texture, which makes it ideal for use in a Moses basket liner.
