Another major benefit of Moses baskets is that they can help very young babies to feel more secure than in a crib. Cribs are designed to last until babies turn into toddlers and are ready to move into a proper bed. This means they must be spacious enough for a child that is up to two or three years old, which might be a little too spacious for a tiny baby.
