Here at The Little Green Sheep, we know the importance of providing babies with a safe and snug place to sleep. That's why many parents find that as well as baby cribs and beside cribs, a Moses Basket is an essential addition to your nursery, bedroom or living room space. SPECIFICATIONS:Meets BS EN 1466: 2014 (basket and stand); BS 1877-10:2011+A1:2012 and BS 7177:2008+A1:2011(mattress) 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."

Your baby should sleep in the same room as you from birth to six months - even for daytime naps. Research shows that the risk of sudden infant death (SIDS) is lower when babies sleep in a cot or crib in the same room as their parents. Sharing a room with your baby is also convenient since it means you'll hear when your baby stirs. Are Moses baskets safe? Best luxury Moses basket: Silver Cross Luxury Moses basket and stand with 100% organic botanical liner Our consumer editor says: The Mamas & Papas Lua Bedside Crib is cleverly designed to make it easy to sleep with your baby safely by your side. It comes with a mattress - with a breathable fibre core - included. Meets BS EN 1466:2014 (basket and stand); BS 1877-10:2011+A1:2012 and BS 7177:2008+A1:2011(mattress)Verdict: Overall, this is a stylish and compact bassinet, with useful functionality to help soothe your baby to sleep. "It's soft and cosy, and my baby was content both chilling and sleeping in the bassinet," adds Katie. "The muted colours, with beige or grey options will complement most nursery colour schemes. And the storage basket will come in handy in smaller rooms." 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."

Two things to note - the Snoo isn’t light so it’s not suitable for moving between rooms. And if you’re a light sleeper and you place it on a wooden floor, you might hear the magic machinery within. Dimensions - How big is the Moses basket? Will it fit comfortably in your bedroom whilst still providing room to navigate around it during the night? The hanging toys are a handy extra, but Katie found they didn't hold her baby's attention for long. "The toys aren't brightly coloured, so my baby wasn't very engaged by them," she says. Instead, she attached a mobile. "That was great, as I haven't been able to attach a mobile to any other Moses basket I've used."WARNING: Do not add another mattress on top of the mattress provided or recommended by The Little Green Sheep. While they’re great for small babies, Moses baskets aren’t known for being usable beyond this. Once your baby can roll or move, it is time to move them to a bigger cot and, if you have a long baby, they may outgrow their Moses basket before then. There are large Moses baskets on the market though, which may last longer.
