A Moses basket is a small, portable crib designed for infants. It is typically made from natural materials like wicker or palm leaves and features a soft, padded interior for comfort. The basket is lightweight and often comes with handles, making it easy to move from room to room. These baskets are named after the biblical figure Moses, who was placed in a basket as a baby. Moses baskets are commonly used for newborns and can be placed on the floor or in a crib. They provide a cozy sleeping space and are often used for co-sleeping or as a travel bed.
