Clair de Lune Toy Shop Moses Basket Material
The material that has been used on this moses basket is ultra padded, super soft and very high quality. The lovely quilted liner section protects little arms and legs from any bumps in the night. All of the material which may come into contact with your little one is ever so soft and gentle – just perfect for newborn skin. The design on the moses basket is pretty, elegant and has a distinct vintage feel – think soft whites and blues with classic rocking horses, spinning tops and stars. This would complement and enhance any nursery scheme, and your little one would be the envy of their friends! The girls version, 'Sweet Tweet' features pink and white birds, cupcakes and vintage bird cages.
Clair de Lune Toy Shop Moses Basket - Day to day use
The mattress on the Clair de Lune white wicker moses basket struck me straight away – it feels thick, padded and comfortable, while still remaining firm enough to offer support as well as comfort. I love the addition of a matching coverlet – not only does it offer warmth and cosiness, but it finishes off the look of your moses basket and adds to the style element. The moses basket hood has a smooth and squeak-free action, and is generous enough to offer some shade and protection – perfect if you intend to use the basket as a downstairs sleeping option during the day. With the basket itself offering a deep and spacious sleeping area, you will get a good amount of use from this – there is lots of room! The wicker is strong, sturdy and smooth on the outside – no snagging your clothes on this one!
Deluxe rocker stand
As part of the review, we were also given a deluxe rocker stand. This added extra offers a beautiful, co-ordinating place to rest your moses basket, and is one of the best moses basket stands I have come across. Priced at just £19.99, it is a real bargain, and offers so much more than many stands. The finish on the wood complements the moses basket perfectly, and the gentle rocking motion is ideal for those babies who like a soothing movement. The very clever feature with this stand is that you have the option to convert it to a static stand by just swivelling a disc on the base – perfect for the days when your little one just wants to be still.
Additional info: You can choose a permanent fixed moses basket stand if you prefer (£19.99)
Clair de Lune Toy Shop Moses Basket Conclusion
The Clair de Lune white wicker moses basket is a premium quality moses basket option. Style, practicality and funky design all come together in one smart package. Made with your baby in mind, this moses basket offers so much – from the quilted liner to protect from knocks and bumps to the smooth, quiet hood and supportive mattress, your baby will have the best nights sleep possible in here. It is more expensive than some moses baskets on the market, but the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ is certainly true here – you pay for the quality, for the style and for the all round usefulness of this lovely product. Clair de Lune have come up trumps.
We give the Clair de Lune Toy Shop Moses Basket 4.5 out of 5 stars
