One of those things that everybody sees in films, but which can be surprisingly difficult to find in real life, the Moses Basket is a great way to keep baby comfortable and with you wherever you go. This one’s hand-woven in a women’s co-operative in Central America, from organic cotton. It’s breathable, chemical-free and even the packaging is recycled paper. The site also has fitted linen and a liner available, made to measure for the basket.

This one’s available for $120.00 from KidBean.
