Moses baskets
Wherein baby’s basket is more boutique than bullrush
Monday, October 16, 2006
Moses baskets have come a long way from their humble origins on the Nile river. Despite their inception as crude escape vessels for tiny targets of ethnic cleansing, woven baby carriers have floated into modern homes on a wave of popularity. And why not? They’re comfy, convenient and — with good craftsmanship and a pretty fabric — quite cute!
Perfect for newborns, these clever carriers can be used as sleeping quarters or as a safe place for baby to relax while mama checks off a few household chores. We love how easy they are to carry from room to room while we’re tidying up!
The original Moses basket was made of bullrushes and covered in tar and pitch. Luckily, today’s baskets aren’t required to be seaworthy, so they’re a lot prettier than the craft in which Mamakaze imagines the wee Moses bobbed down the Nile.
In searching for someplace portable for our latest addition to sleep, we found baskets in styles ranging from sensible to sumptuous.
Available in a multitude of colors, patterns and prices, Moses baskets are accessible to mamas on any budget. We found items from $30 to $458 and everywhere in between. Whether your nursery’s decor is contemporary, classic or country, there’s a Moses basket out there to float your boat.
