Overall, this Moses basket impressed Kate. "It's very easy to set up – you just need a screwdriver – and the design is definitely different to a traditional Moses basket," she says. "It's made of white plastic, which makes it easier to clean, and means it would suit a modern home or someone who likes a minimalist aesthetic. It's also light and quiet to carry around, yet it feels robust and sturdy." Verdict: The only downside is that this Moses basket seems less roomy in comparison to others we tested, so it may not last your baby as long as others. "My baby was 9lbs at birth, so there's not much room in this for her to stretch out," adds Katie. "For that reason, it's probably better suited to smaller babies." I found the assembly instructions very difficult to understand, with just pictures and no description or written steps, but once I found a video online to follow, it was actually quite simple to put together," says Katie. "The cot is a great size, with soft sides and breathable mesh walls, but it doesn't come with a mattress – you have to buy that separately." Why you can trust GoodTo.

How do you choose a safe Moses basket?

The guidelines from The Lullaby Trust are clear that you should not have anything in your little one’s cot or Moses basket other than a firm, flat mattress with a waterproof cover. Something to look out for with Moses baskets is that they do not have any extra material, bumpers, sleep positioners or anything which could pose a potential danger to your baby."
