With our first two children, we did not use a Moses basket. Instead we chose a pack n’ play and bassinet. But with our third, we opted for a Moses basket for the following reasons.
With our first two children, we did not use a Moses basket. Instead we chose a pack n’ play and bassinet. But with our third, we opted for a Moses basket for the following reasons.
1: We wanted something portable that we could move easily around the house. Also, we loved the idea of being able to take it when we travel so that the baby will have a familiar bed to sleep in.
2: We wanted something that was smaller, more cozy for our newborn, especially since our baby was premature. She sleeps best in a space that is snug.
Blue_Chocolate_large_0Count It All Joy makes the Little Children Moses basket. When it arrived, it came fully assembled, wrapped in a plastic bag and surrounded by packing peanuts. The basket is available in three different color patterns; blue chocolate, neutral tangerine and pink chocolate. I have the tangerine patterned one, which is a very attractive style and can be used for either gender. Just from the touch of it, I can tell it’s well made and of extremely high quality.
One thing I like about the Moses basket is that it fits easily into our trunk, making it good for trips to grandma’s house. And when the time comes to store it, I know it will not take up too much space in my child’s closet. Do keep in mind when storing it, that this product does not fold up compactly. Also, the product is dry clean only which might pose difficult for some moms. My baby has acid reflux and spits up quite a bit. I have spot cleaned it several times but it would be much easier if I could just throw it in the washer. In addition, it would be nice if it included a stand. That way, it could be used as a bassinet when the baby is sleeping in our room. (Don’t let that deter you though, you can buy stands for Moses baskets at baby stores if this is an important feature to you.) Initially, I thought the price point of $100 seemed a little high. But after researching other brands of Moses baskets, I found out that they range anywhere from $75 to $150. Since this is a hand-crafted product, it is better quality than most and definitely worth the price.
The Moses basket is only recommended for ages 0-3 months. I think it’s handy that the Count It All Joy website lists safety recommendations and care directions for before, during and after use with the basket.
I couldn’t be happier with this product. Our baby sleeps in this Moses basket everyday. She seems comfortable and cozy in it. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a well-crafted Moses basket. It is a great product that your family is sure to love.
