Our consumer editor says: The Chicco Baby Hug is impressively versatile. That makes it a practical choice if you're short on space. Suitable from birth right through until your baby is three years old, it converts from an overnight crib to a reclining seat. The quality of this Moses basket is impressive, and the knitted liner adds a touch of seriously cosy luxury. "It's very chic and looks quite Scandinavian in design," says Kate. "But it's also very practical – the liner stopped my baby from scratching her hands on the inside of the basket, which happens in our own Moses basket. That makes this one feel warm and cosy." The Little Green Sheep Moses Basket Stand is a great addition to your moses basket. There are wooden retaining bars to hold the moses basket in position securely and the stand elevates your baby to a perfect height so that you keep an eye on them beside your bed. It is suitable for use not only with the Little Green Sheep moses baskets but other moses baskets measuring L: 73 – 83.5 x W: 30 - 37cm.

They tested the product rigorously for at least ten days, before giving each product a rating out of five for overall performance.Moses baskets are great to have next to your bed and also as a portable option to move downstairs during daytime. You should never move a Moses basket with your baby inside though. You should share a room with your little one for the first six months. But, to avoid having to move a Moses basket every morning and night, Jenna suggests: "You can have a Moses basket in the lounge or kitchen for when you're downstairs and a permanent cot in your room for your little one."

Verdict: The only downside is that this Moses basket seems less roomy in comparison to others we tested, so it may not last your baby as long as others. "My baby was 9lbs at birth, so there's not much room in this for her to stretch out," adds Katie. "For that reason, it's probably better suited to smaller babies." Yes, absolutely.But don't just take our word for it. Hannah Love, who is a paediatric nurse and parenting and sleep expert says: "The NHS and The Lullaby Trustboth include Moses baskets as a safe sleep space for babies. In fact, they go beyond that and actually state that using a Moses basket can reduce the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). At first I felt this looked more like a laundry basket," says Katie. "But it looks much more baby-friendly once the liner is added, and my baby seemed quite happy in it. The basket itself is very large and spacious but it's also very light, making it really easy to move around. Since it's made of plastic, it's also very easy to clean." How do you choose a safe Moses basket? Jenna Wilson, a Sleep Consultant at Little Dreams Consulting Opens a new window says: "The most important thing when considering anything in relation to sleep is safety. The guidelines from The Lullaby Trust are clear that you should not have anything in your little one’s cot or Moses basket other than a firm, flat mattress with a waterproof cover. Something to look out for with Moses baskets is that they do not have any extra material, bumpers, sleep positioners or anything which could pose a potential danger to your baby." The mattress is washable but it's not a standard size, so factor that in when you're buying bedding. The plastic sides and handles add robustness, which makes this a good choice if you'll be carrying it up and down stairs frequently.Verdict: Overall, this is a stylish and compact bassinet, with useful functionality to help soothe your baby to sleep. "It's soft and cosy, and my baby was content both chilling and sleeping in the bassinet," adds Katie. "The muted colours, with beige or grey options will complement most nursery colour schemes. And the storage basket will come in handy in smaller rooms." Why you can trust GoodTo.

Two things to note - the Snoo isn’t light so it’s not suitable for moving between rooms. And if you’re a light sleeper and you place it on a wooden floor, you might hear the magic machinery within. This was easy to put together, with just a few connecting parts. "It was up and ready to use within 15 minutes," says Katie. "Having said that, the instructions aren't easy to follow, so we disregarded them and just used common sense!" WARNING: Do not use the mattress if any part is broken, torn or missing and use only replacement or spare parts approved by the manufacturer.

This is really sleek - it looks like a big fancy hotel bathtub," says our tester, Grace. "Also there is just one button on the cot itself so you can’t go wrong in the middle of the night when you’re staggering around in the dark." It’s an expensive item, so it must deliver on all points.
