2. Best budget Moses basket - Kinder Valley Moses Basket

I loved the Moba Moses basket on first impressions - it's super smart and stylish, but will easily fit into any nursery decor. 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? For a classic, high-quality palm Moses basket at a reasonable price, this one from Mumsnetter’s favourite Clair de Lune is hard to beat. Many don’t like the prospect of scratchy palm fibres next to their babies skin, and this Moses basket comes with a breathable cotton liner to protect those delicate newborn elbows. The Moba Moses Basket is lightweight, practical and totally modern. It’s a contemporary recreation of a traditional Moses basket – it doesn’t look as cosy but the material is breathable, easy to clean and once it’s done being a baby bed, the Moba makes a great ‘toy box’.

The basket also comes in the new special edition Little Star for 2017, with a grey basket, and matching cotton jersey liner in white with grey stars. For something that your baby is likely to sleep in for just a few months, you may be disinclined to splash out on an expensive crib or cot, which is where John Lewis’s simple, traditional waffle moses basket ought to appeal – or for a secondary daytime sleeping option outside the bedroom. John Lewis is a favourite with Mumsnetters thanks to their high standards, excellent customer service and prompt delivery. This simple Moses basket is a tasteful, plain take on the traditional basket, perfect for those who find the Clair de Lune or Kinder Valley baskets too fussy. The Moba® basket has over 300 air holes around the sides and base of the basket to maximise ventilation. Designed without unnecessary frills or padding to promote airflow and safe sleep practice.

Moba® is the multi award winning contemporary moses basket. It is the only moses basket with super safe integrated handles designed to be strong and durable. All other moses baskets have woven palm or cotton handles that flop into the basket or could snap off. 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. Although heavy duty in both structure and price, Chicco’s top-of-the-range side sleeping crib includes an impressive number of features and is generously proportioned. With several height options, it will attach to most beds and its swivel wheels and brakes make it easy to move around the home (as long as you have the space to move it). Clair de lune and still going strong 2 kids and lots of visiting babies later!” Tried and tested by Mumsnet user Starsinyourpies) Our verdict
