Bassinets are portable, basket-shaped baby beds with padding and several covers to provide sleeping babies comfort and protection. Some have rockers or vibrators that help put babies to sleep.
Moses Bassinets are woven wicker baskets with blanket linings and carrying straps. They are called as such because they resemble the basket used for sending Moses off to the Pharaoh’s palace when he was still a baby. They are portable and convenient to carry, and can be used at home, in the car, or outdoors. Most Moses Bassinets are durable and sturdy enough to hold a baby six months and below.
Classic Wicker Bassinets are larger than Moses Bassinets. They are designed to be set directly on the ground, and they usually have folding legs that allow easy handling and transport. They can be rocked gently to easily put babies to sleep. Some models have built-in wheels for easy mobility. They are mainly for home use.
