Advantages: Great size and comfortable for baby

Disadvantages: Doesnt come with a stand

When i first found out i was pregnant i started making lists straight away of everything i needed to get! And things that i didnt need but just wanted!!!


From my childhood i remember not really having much and my friends always having the latest stuff and really nice bedrooms filled with really nice things! But my mum and Dad when they were together didnt have much money. So when they split up and me my mum and sister moved out we had even less money and i didnt have a room of my own never mind nice things to put in it!


So right from the start before my baby was born i wanted the best for it! Id go without just so i could buy the things i wanted for the new baby. Every week i put money by and slowly but surely it mounted up until i had quite a bit. So i decided to go on a shopping spree!


The first thing i neede to get was a moses basket. I had been told by many family and friends that they can be quite expensive so i decided to shop around. I trawled round my local town centre for hours going round all the baby shops! I had to stop for a drink and something to eat every hour and a half but i had so much fun!


The first one i found was amazing! It looked sooo beautiful and expensive too! So i looked at the price and it was expensive!!! £90!!! I was shopping on a bit of a budjet so that was way too expensive for me!!


I was gutted! It was the one i wanted and i knew it from the moment i seen it and anything else just wasnt going to compare to it! So i had 3 more shops to go to so hopefully there would be one that went someway to compare to the other one i seen.


An hour later i had been to 2 of the shops looking at everything including moses baskets and hadnt found a thing! I was so upset! I didnt think i was ever going to find anything i liked!


I foned my partner in tears! Wailing and complaining that i was never going to find anything i liked and that the babys bedroom was going to end up looking horrible! I told him i had one shop left to go to then i was coming home so to make me feel better he told me that he would give me the extra £45 so i could afford it! I was over the moon! I felt like i had never been happier!


So i made my way to the last shop. Even though i could go back to the first shop and just get the one i wanted i decided to go and have a look anyway. When i got there i couldnt beleive my eyes!!! It was the same moses basket that i had seen in the first shop but it was half the price!!!


Only £40 i couldnt beleive my luck! Stuff like that never happens to me!!!


So i asked the sales assistant if the price on it was right and she said yes they were having a sale at the moment!!! I couldnt have been happier! So i bought it straight away!!!


~~~~~The moses basket details~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the dimensions of the basket are as follows

74cm x 27cm which is plenty of room for your little angel.


The actual basket itself is made of wicker which is a durable and lightweight at the same time. The cover on the moses basket is beautiful!


Its Ivory in colour which makes it look really lush and expensive! It is a sort of bodraie anglais material which comes off so that you can wash it. (and beleive me you will need to!) It also comes with a hood that you can pull up to sheild the baby from light when you are trying to get them off to sleep. As well ther is a plush duvet cover that you can place over baby if you have them in winter but otherwise you will not need it as i had my baby daughter in the summer and it was far too hot to use it! But i did put it on a couple of times just to take some pictures as it looked beautiful all together.


It also comes with a mattress which is a bonus because most of them dont come with matteresses and you have to buy them as an extra which is an expense you can do without!!


Unfortunately it didnt come with a stand. I had to buy it seperate and im glad i did as there is no way just after having a baby you can bend right down to the floor to pick your baby out the basket.


The stand costs around £15 but it is well worth it!


You may be able to get a stand chjeaper but u will need to make sure that it will fit as some of them are different sizes and will not fit all moses baskets. So make sure you have the measurements with you when you go to purchase the stand.


This moses basket will do your baby until around 6 mnths old and by then they will be able to sleep in their big cots. But if you have a large baby then you may need to move them sooner as there is a weight limit of around 5-6 kg.


I hope you have found this reveiw useful.


Thanks for reading and good luck to all you parents and parents to be thinking of purchasing this moses basket!
