Cot Beds, Moses Baskets, Cribs & Mattresses in General

Right from the begining i new my cot was going to be huge compared to the size of my baby as a new born but found a dillema when deciding what i was going to use for her to sleep in for the first few months. I loved the pushchairs with car seat attachments so i didnt want a push chair with a removable basket type thing, sorry i dont know what these are called. I wasnt sure about a moses basket as we have a very large rotty who is very boystrus and although he doesnt mean to he has a habit of walking into things a lot so i was worried he would knock the moses basket over. In the end i brought me a wooden swinging crib from mothercare for ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my first son I wasn't entirely sure whether I should invest in a Moses basket or not. As we all know babies grow so quickly and I knew a Moses basket wouldn't last very long. Anyway we paid a visit to Toysrus one day and I got sucked in by the pretty, little baskets and thinking how lovely my dinky, baby would look inside one so we did end up with one. The one I chose was a yellow, blue and green wicker basket with a little dragon fly theme. We didn't know the sex of our child so we thought yellow would be good. It had a hood which is suppose to keep out the noise and drafts but I think it's more for show than anything. It cost us £25 ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I was pregnant with my son I decided that I would like to buy a Moses basket with stand as we wanted him to sleep in our room for the first few weeks. I visited Toys r us and saw that they had the 'I love my bear' Moses basket on special offer, it had been reduced down to £30 and the wooden rocking stand was only £10 so I decided to buy it there and then. The Moses basket was lovely, it was made out of the usual wicker material (if this is what it is, I think so!!) and it had a white furry lining inside with a small mattress, so that the material of the basket doesn't stick in the baby. It has a cream hood that you can lift up so that the baby is ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my daughter two years ago, I was given a Moses Basket by a friend who had used it for her baby. It came with a stand, a hood (which didn't attach to the basket properly so we didn't use it, but it seemed to be more to look pretty than anything) and she also lent me some bedding. All I needed to buy were some more sheets (fitted and non-fitted) as I would be changing them frequently with a newborn baby being sick a lot, and a new mattress, which cost about £25.00 from Mothercare. I probably wouldn't have bothered buying a Moses Basket otherwise, as babies do not stay in them for more than a few months, and need to go into a cot or cotbed when they ...  Read the complete review

When i was pregnant with my twins one of the first things we talked about was how they would sleep once they were here. We were a little unsure of moses baskets as we wanted them to sleep together (after all they spent 8 months together in my tummy), we had room for a cotbed in our room so they could still be by our side anyway. Anyhow i was given 2 moses baskets asa present both were identical and were from mothercare, winnie the pooh traditiional designs. They were pretty much unisex and had a really light green and white check with some lilac. Thery both came with a small matress that fit inside and a hood which helped shade out some light, ...  Read the complete review
