Honey Hooded Baby Moses Basket with Sage Gingham

this basket is really cute and was very useful for the 1st 3 months or so to have a safe place to put baby in different rooms of the house. We live in a 2 story home with finished basement so this basket was really helpful to bring baby with me to diffrent rooms without having to put him on the floor or lug around a pack and play or cradle. Also was convenient for a co-sleeping option. baby can be in the basket on the bed with you and you need not worry about rolling on him....but if you are a deep or restless sleeper don't try it...they basket is not THAT sturdy and could get pushed off the bed. everything in the kit is removeable and the fabric can be washed.

2 reasons it didnt get 5 out of 5 stars for me. the fabric liner is not sewn in very well to ribbons that attach it to basket. Just a few more stitches in each would have sufficed and then the liner would have stayed in perfectly. I ended up with a really floppy liner in places. Yes you can reinforce these with a needle and thread....but realistically....the item should come in a state that the buyer doesn't have to do that. Plus what new mom has time and free hands to do this? If you buy this... reinforce the ribbons from the start with an extra stitch at each and you will be fine.

Also the ad doesn't state this, but despite the handles, they do not recommend that you carry baby from room to room using the basket. I used one hand to hold the handles and one to support the basket from the bottom if I had sleeping baby in the basket or carried him separate from basket when changing rooms.

Still this was an awesome basket and at a decent price. We got lots of complements on it.

The basket seemed a little smaller than I expected, but it was made just fine. The mattress was firm enough. My only real issue was that the "honey" color was very reddish and looked a little strange.

We're so glad we didn't spend tons of money on a basket; this one worked great. Our son only fit in it for four months and we used our own blankets anyway. If it was warm weather here we probably would have taken it outside and used the hood in the sun, but it was cold and the hood wasn't ever used. It's kinda flimsy, but decent...you get what you pay for.

I looked good but the hood was damaged in shipment. I returned it and purchased it elsewhere.

I was very happy when I saw the quality of this baby basket. It is lined and made so nicely and the color is nice and rich. I highly recommend this product.
