What are our babies sleeping in downstairs?

We use a nest for downstairs so much easier x
Moses basket for downstairs and next to me for our bedroom. I wanted to save the carting up and down too just in case I had a c section. And the downstairs option was second hand from FB marketplace in impecable condition!! X
We have a Moses basket downstairs and doesn’t look like he’ll be growing out of it anytime soon, we got ours from Clair De Lune for £50 which included the basket, the stand, the mattress and 2 mattress sheets so even if he does grow out of it quickly it wasn’t an expensive purchase for us x
I used the pram carry cot with my first but decided to buy a Snuz Baskit this time around (mainly because my toddler would zoom the pram around the room🤣). The Snuz Baskit seems a lot bigger than most Moses baskets. I didn’t like the idea of nests due to risk of SIDS (Lullaby Trust)
We have the bassinet for downstairs. Nest and pods aren't advised for safe sleeping, it's best for baby to sleep on a firm flat surface.x
For my first we used the carrycot of the pram, I checked with them and it is rated safe for overnight sleep so I felt a bit better about him being in it a lot. This time, my MIL has got me a Moses basket so will use that until she outgrows and then use the carrycot ☺️
I have the cybex gazelle stroller which the bassinet of is rated for safe sleep so will be using that on a Moses basket stand (we have a young German Shepherd so need a safe space away from the floor). For travel we got a travel cot free off FB marketplace that packs down really small and light and we will likely keep in our car
I've just got a moses basket for down the stairs and next to me crib upstairs
I have a tiny love 3 in 1 rocker napper. Turns. into a chair too so better than a moses and vibrates and has music. Life saver
@Louise I swear by this I've used one for all 3 of my kids
With the Snuzpod do you let baby sleep in it with the recliner on or you remove it?
@Danielle can you share which one? And where do you sit this as what I'm visualising is just a mat type product.
@Victoria I'll check out the snuzbaskit. Thanks
Just the baby part of the pram.. I have a Venicci Tinum 2.0 ☺️ I just pop it on the floor of whatever room I’m in, or if the dogs about then leave it on the wheels ☺️

@Danielle I like this idea to use the moses basket til they outgrown and get more use out of pram bassinet too
@Louise will check this out.
@Anna I'm not 100% this was aimed at me. We haven't even built the snuzpod4 yet but I believe the recliner part is to help save the baby from colic and I can't imagine the incline is strep enough that they wouldn't be allowed to sleep in this position as long as they are placed correctly inside with feet to end.
@Danielle yes, I see what you mean here. I think this would also work on my sofa but not unsupervisef which means I'd need this on top of a basket,bassinet or another next to me x
@Anna hi I know you didn't ask me about the snuzpod.but I had one with my last child. I never used the.incline as it can't be used if the snuzpod is strapped to the bed, the HV did advise Me to use it at one point as I had a very refluxy child. I didn't like it because it would cause him to slip down and turn sideways in the crib I thought he would get stuck in a corner / suffocate. As I suggested earlier I have a tiny love 3 in 1 rocker napper, that has a flat sleep, incline and seat. The incline on that is great as it has a strap to secure the child so they won't slip and avoids the issue I mentioned above. It's great for the daytime naps etc.
We used the carrycot of the pram on a moses basket stand after checking it was safe for overnight sleep (uppababy vista). Intending to do the same with next baby. Found it useful if baby was sleeping and I needed to go out I could just pop it on the pram and go. He was in it for daytime sleep until about 4 months-ish.
I’ve got a Moses (free) and a sleepyhead deluxe (£20 market place). Snuzpod for next to my bed (£35 marketplace).
@Hayley Snuzpod 3 or 4?
@Anna ohhh I’d have to check - but that means going back up the stairs again which is a current no from me at 38+3 🤣🐋🦛
We have a joie change and bounce travel cot. I got it from Facebook marketplace as I wanted somewhere safe to put the babe when he gets a bit bigger if I need to answer the door, make tea etc that's away from the dog. It has the added bonus of coming with a bouncer and a changing mat which saved a few extra pennies
We’ve got nesting pod for downstairs. Had it for our last baby and was amazing so got new one for this one x
