3 of the best...Moses baskets

Every fortnight, journalist and mum Laura Mason will review three of the best baby products on the market for iVillage.co.uk. This week, she looks at Moses baskets.

Little Green Sheep

This Moses basket keeps winning award after award and now it has made our top three! Claiming to be the only organic Moses basket in the UK, it is chemical-free with 100 per cent certified organic bedding and a supportive fleece wool and coconut coir mattress.

The Moses basket is robust without being too firm, and the soft luxurious bedding and breathable bumper sheet ensure a comfortable sleeping environment for your baby.  It is available in a wicker or maize alternative.

Priced £99.95 from www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk

Olive and Henri

This Moses basket launched last month as part of Babies ‘R’ Us’ new Olive and Henri range.  The unisex print features a charming hedgehog and owl theme with detachable hanging toys in a predominantly pale green and cream mix.  Additional items such as the cot mobile, change mat and cot bedding can also be purchased to match the collection.

Available at a very reasonable price, the maize Moses basket is durable, yet sturdy and all of the bedding is fully detachable making it easy to clean.

Priced £54.99 from Babies R Us

Tippitoes ABC

The popular ABC Moses basket from Tippitoes is available in a white and dark wicker to coordinate closely with various nursery colour schemes.  The strong basket is the lightest we tested but it is also strong and keeps it shape well so leaves you feeling assured your baby is safe and secure.

The featured alphabet design is beautifully embroidered and the unisex bedding is made with good quality fabrics that will keep your little one snug in style.
