A moses basket or crib takes up less space than a cot, so can usually fit beside the parental bed and be moved around the home during the daytime. However, once babies reach around six months and are able to roll over or sit up unaided, they’ll need to move into a bigger, sturdier cot with side rails to prevent them falling out of bed. Sizing upIs it a laundry basket? While Moba might look more utilitarian than most moses baskets, it was designed with safety in mind. There are 300 holes punched into the thermoplastic rubber basket (which comes in an array of pastel and bright colours) to improve airflow, while there are no floppy handles, hoods or frills that could fall on top of a sleeping babe. In fact, Moba has previously partnered with the Lullaby Trust to raise awareness about SIDS and raise money for the charity.

The hood doesn’t easily stay fully upright, but is only really relevant for daytime naps and the waffle lining is soft and easily removed for washing. This popular co-sleeping crib attaches to the parental bed with nine adjustable height settings and has been updated with new features that include a recline option to help ease the symptoms of reflux and congestion and a wider bassinet to give babies more wriggle room – to around six months in age.

The Moba® basket has no hood as they restrict airflow to your baby and also prohibit vision, in a Moba® you can see your baby from all angles. 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. The actual Moses basket we used upstairs was a shnuggle one which isn't a "next to me" but is bigger than a standard Moses basket. Also just to note my DC still fits in the Shnuggle at 9 months."

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. John Lewis. Can’t go wrong. Used it loads. In fact, I had one of those bedside crib things and my DS would only sleep in the Moses basket in the crib. I say sleep, “nap briefly” is more accurate.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user DaisyDando) Our verdict If you’re weighing up the pros and cons of different kinds of newborn beds, you’ve come to the right place.
