Advantages: moses baskets are mobile and snuggly but dont last long, cotbeds were great

Disadvantages: didnt get a lot of use from moses baskets but were saving them for the next ones.

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, also a little quilt for over their blankets.

We decided to use these after all they were a gift however im glad we didnt buy them ourselves. I loved the way i could take them anywhere around hte flat so they slept with me in the living room during the day. And they did look really snug, however at around 10 weeks old we decided it was time to put them in their cotbed as they were fastly outgrowing the moses basket.

SO had i paid for the 2x moses baskets and stands we really wouldnt have got much use from t hem. I do say if your not on a tight budget get them but if you are low on money i wouldnt bother.

They slept great in the cotbed together and i had no problems until they got too big to sleep together so we put them in their own at the side of each other.

At 3 months old we put them in their own room, my partners a really noisy sleeper and i was waking up at every sound and movment they made, after that we all slept better.

Summary: If you have spare money i would recommend moses baskets, or if on a low budget i wouldnt
