A deluxe pod-shaped wicker Moses basket with stand — rounder and deeper than the traditional oval design.
Pod or traditional?
The pod shape has higher, more enclosed sides and a rounder footprint. It looks distinctly different in a room, which is most of why people choose it, and the deeper sides feel more enclosing for a newborn.
Practically, the traditional shape is easier to carry through doorways and sits more readily on a standard stand. Pod baskets need a pod stand or a stand you have checked fits — standard rocking stands may not.
How long a Moses basket lasts
Shorter than most people expect. Suits a newborn to roughly 3 to 4 months, or around 9kg — but the real limit is developmental.
Stop using it as soon as your baby can roll over, push up on hands and knees, or sit unaided. At that point the sides become a hazard rather than a boundary, and they need a cot.
Safer sleep in a Moses basket
- Baby on their back, feet to the foot of the basket
- Firm, flat mattress with a well-fitting sheet, nothing else in the basket
- No pillows, quilts, bumpers or loose bedding under 12 months
- Room temperature 16-20°C
- Same room as you for the first six months, day and night

Using the stand safely
Flat, level floor, away from radiators and curtain or blind cords. Never carry the basket while it is on the stand. Lock the rocking function when the baby is asleep or unattended.
Carrying it
Both hands underneath, never by the handles alone with the baby inside. Check handles and base for wear before every use. Never carry it up or down stairs with the baby in it.
Also available
The pod basket is sold separately without the stand.
