Safe alternatives to Moses basket

Hi mummas, What is everyone planning to use around the living room/ lounge spaces to keep their newborns in? I’ve got a snuzpod 4 crib for the bedroom but was thinking about what to place baby in when I’m not in the bedroom. I was thinking about this: https://www.thecosybaby.co.uk/products/untitled-31aug_12-38 (Mainly because I think it’s cute!) but have since changed my mind as newborns need a flat and firm surface to lie in. I’m now thinking about a Moses basket- but are there any alternatives you’ve decided on??

We got a moses basket - they only fit in it for a few months apparently so we got ours second hand to save some money! We have a dog so wanted something off the ground xx

@Grace exactly my thoughts- won’t last too long! But seems to be the easiest and safest option. Did you also get a stand to put the basket on? Or where do you think you will keep it placed? X

Yeah I got one with a stand - got basket and stand for £10 on fb marketplace so would absolutely recommend looking there, there were loads in and around my area! We have a next to me upstairs so will probably keep it in the sitting room downstairs and then when baby has grown out of it we should hopefully be on naps in the crib anyway!

I’ll be lifting the top of the snuz pod off and using that round the house x

I was going to get a dockatot just for daytime naps but they’re not safe for sleeping anymore so I think I’m just gonna use the carrycot part from my pram until he’s bigger x

We also used the bassinet from our pram and just bought a stand for it. Worked a treat and she stayed in it until she was about 5 months x

I’ve got a Moses basket that we used with our son, but our pram bassinet is overnight sleep safe so we’ll use that this time due to lack of space.

Moses basket on a stand, had thr same for my eldest too. Was an invaluable piece of kit as I suffered with back problems after birth and this meant I didn't have to bend down too far. Also, I take it to parents/inlaws if we're spending the day there x

We were going to get a Moses basket but we got a snuzpod so planning on bringing the top part off and using that downstairs. Will save on space x
