The Hoohobbers Moses Basket is an heirloom addition to a baby's nursery. If you're a parent who loves creature comforts, you'll look forward to placing a sleeping newborn in the cozy interior of this basket. And there's just no getting around it: With its basket-weave exteriors, ruffles and bows, Hoohobbers Moses Baskets are simply adorable.

One could argue that a Moses basket isn't a necessity. In this age of activity seats, play yards, swings and portable cribs, Moses baskets can be seen as a luxury that a baby will soon outgrow. Still, we believe this Moses basket is as practical as it is beautiful. The Hoohobbers Moses Basket is durable and has two carrying handles, although it should never be carried while an infant is in the basket. Also keep in mind that a Moses basket should not be used once a baby can roll over.

The Hoohobbers Moses Basket comes complete with a mattress pad, fitted sheet, padded bumper with a top ruffle, and a matching blanket (the matching blanket is more of a decorative item than a useful blanket). All of the fabric accessories are machine washable, a feature we really like.

The Hoohobbers Moses Basket is an ideal place for a newborn to nap. It's also a handy item when visiting relatives or friends and provides a familiar and comforting place for a baby to catch a few winks. At home, it can provide a way to keep a baby nearby while he is resting and is easily moved from room to room. While there are dozens of baby gadgets that are decidedly hi-tech, this is a time-tested item that provides a plastic-free comfort zone, which is something that is increasingly rare for today's children.

While the Hoohobbers Moses Basket may not light up, play music or vibrate, it does provide a cozy, secure, quiet place for a newborn to become accustomed to the world.


Pros: Portable, comes with bedding set, durable
Cons: Pricey, larger babies will outgrow it relatively quickly
