Our tester found this easy to assemble, although some of the screws were a little stiff. "It's really simple and straightforward to put together, and didn't take us long to assemble," she says. "The basket liner and blanket are made from beautifully soft waffle fabric, which looks very luxurious and comfortable – like putting my baby to sleep on a little cloud."

Yes, absolutely.But don't just take our word for it. Hannah Love, who is a paediatric nurse and parenting and sleep expert says: "The NHS and The Lullaby Trustboth include Moses baskets as a safe sleep space for babies. In fact, they go beyond that and actually state that using a Moses basket can reduce the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). When it comes to choosing a place for your newborn baby to sleep, Moses baskets are a great choice that have been popular for generations. They’re traditionally made from woven material, but now there are lots of different varieties to choose from, including vented plastic Moses baskets. But where do you start looking? And which are best for design, safety and practicality? We’ve done the research for you and found the best Moses baskets for your baby. 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."

Helping to keep your baby safe, secure and snug, a Moses basket is the first bed they will lay their head to rest. One of the best things about a Moses basket is the fact that many are portable, meaning you can keep your bundle of joy right by your side, no matter the time of the day. Most experts recommend using one of the best Moses baskets from birth until your baby is 6 months of age or starting to sit up. Once they reach this all-important milestone, it's time to move your baby to one of the best cot beds or one of the best bedside cribs. 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."

This was easy to put together, with just a few connecting parts. "It was up and ready to use within 15 minutes," says Katie. "Having said that, the instructions aren't easy to follow, so we disregarded them and just used common sense!"

Faqs

Katie loves the look of this Moses basket and found the soothing centre a useful extra. "This bassinet looks soft, cosy and luxurious – the 'soft truffle' is a lovely, warm beige colour – and the whole thing is surprisingly compact so it doesn't take up a huge amount of space."

WARNING: Be aware of the risk of open fire and other sources of strong heat, such as electric bar fires, gas fires, etc. in the near vicinity of this product. Moses baskets are great to have next to your bed and also as a portable option to move downstairs during daytime. You should never move a Moses basket with your baby inside though. You should share a room with your little one for the first six months. But, to avoid having to move a Moses basket every morning and night, Jenna suggests: "You can have a Moses basket in the lounge or kitchen for when you're downstairs and a permanent cot in your room for your little one." The lullabies and nature sounds are pleasant and not too 'tinny'. There are multiple volume and vibration settings, which my baby seemed to enjoy. However, the 'nightlight' is very bright and awkwardly positioned. We avoided using it, as it shines directly in my baby's face."How do you choose a safe Moses basket? Jenna Wilson, a Sleep Consultant at Little Dreams Consulting Opens a new window says: "The most important thing when considering anything in relation to sleep is safety. 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."
