A Moses basket is a snuggly, safe spot to let baby sleep during his first few months. Moses baskets are secure and sturdy yet light weight enough to carry from room to room using the handles (not with baby in the basket). Many parents select a Moses basket because it provides similar sleeping space to a bassinet, but is much more portable and versatile. When baby outgrows his Moses basket, it can be used to hold toys and other treasures.
Bumpers, a small light-weight blanket and mattress cover are included with most Moses baskets and are typically machine washable. The fabric choices are many, making it work with any nursery or master suite. Baskets are made out of a wicker and covered by the bumpers and mattress pad. The Moses basket handles that can be used to carry the basket (without baby) turn in and can be tucked into the sides of the basket, under the bumper to keep them out of baby's way.
