Moses Basket Stand – What Is It?... And Why New Parents Need One

Important Benefits Of Using a Moses Basket Stand

1. Helps Save Space

The typical cradle, bassinet, or crib takes up substantial nursery space which makes a Moses basket a much less bulky and compact alternative. A Moses basket with stand is a great way to save space if you are limited to small living quarters. If you find yourself without enough space its small size and light weight allows for an easy move to another room.

2. Portability

A Moses basket stand offers terrific mobility and more portability than a cradle, crib, or stationary bassinet. The light weight wooden stand can be transported from room to room and can easily be placed into an automobile to be taken to a family member's home or work. The stand can be positioned next to your bed at night making for a simple transition from Moses basket to your loving arms when it's time for a mid-night feeding. If you prefer to sleep in a separate room away from baby it's an easy move to place the Moses basket and stand in another room.

3. Cost Effective

One of the best reasons to use a Moses basket stand is the overall cost compared to higher priced nursery items such as cribs, cradles and bassinets. An average Moses basket sells at prices varying from $90-$160. A Rockers by Richard Moses basket stand ranges from $69-$103 depending on the desired model. To complete the Moses basket and stand set your total cost would $159-$263

In comparison, a cradle will cost anywhere from $130-$850 with most averaging around $390. Unless you already have cradle bedding, you will need to buy a cradle bedding set to complete your cradle purchase. This can add an additional $300-$400 to your total bill. Bassinets can range rather widely in price from $75-$700 with the majority landing in the $200-$300 area. Finally, your inevitable crib purchase will cost you anywhere from $760 and often times substantially higher. Since the crib will be your highest priced nursery item, a Moses basket with Moses basket stand makes a wonderful low cost alternative that is perfect for the first several month of your new baby's life.

4. Getting The Moses Basket Off The Floor

Poor night-time visibility is a major safety concern when trying to decide where to place your Moses basket. Tripping over your baby during a trip to the bathroom is the last thing you would want to happen. The issue of a potential accident is resolved once your Moses basket is elevated off the floor by way of the Moses basket stand to a more suitable height. Your baby will now be at a comfortable resting position while simultaneously located at an easily accessible level for mom when it is time for a feeding or diaper change.

There is another obvious problem with leaving a Moses basket on the ground. Tile and hard wood flooring can become very cold in winter months and would not be a suitable sleeping location for you baby. Having your Moses basket on the floor could also leave your child susceptible to cool drafts of air that enter your bedroom from beneath the doorway.

5. Rock Your Baby To Sleep

Babies love the soothing rocking motion that a Moses basket stand built on rockers provides. Rockers by Richard make two beautiful wooden stands that let you rock baby to sleep. The Rocking Moses basket stand or Regal Rocker gives you the proper elevation as well as the rocking motion that your little one will love. Rockers by Richard Moses basket stands are very high quality and are highly recommended.
