What it is.

A Moses bed is an alternative to a bassinet or pack-and-play playpen for the sleeping arrangements of a newborn. It is usually a wicker basket with a mattress in it. This type of bed has handles on both sides to make it portable for when you are traveling or just need to move the baby from one room to the next during your busy day. Moses beds are usually on the small side and are only recommended for newborns. Older children can quickly grow out of using them.

Why choose one for your newborn?

Many parents like to have a portable bed for their newborn so they can keep them close at hand. A newborn baby spends a lot of time in his or her bed and for this reason it is usual for most parents to have a portable bed that can be moved from room to room. Pack-and-plays allow for this option as well, but they take a lot more setup and clean up time to use them. The Moses bed just needs to be picked up by its handles and moved to where you want your child to be lying. There is no additional setup required. These handy little beds are also a popular option for mothers that are breastfeeding. You can place your sleeping child next to your bed for easy middle of the night feedings.

There are many options for where to have your little one spend his first few nights at home. The Moses bed is a wonderfully versatile option. It is compact and easy to travel with. It allows a parent to have their newborn near them throughout the day as they do their chores because of the ease of portability. It is for this reason that expecting parents should highly consider this bedding option.

Black Friday The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary Overview

The First Years Close & Secure Sleeper lets you keep your child close with the reassurance that baby is snug, secure, and comfortable next to you in your bed. Sleeper is easy to transport. When your baby is ready for the crib, you can continue to use this sleeper for an easy transition.

Black Friday The First Years Close and Secure Sleeper, Colors May Vary Specifications

The First Years deceptively simple Close & Secure Sleeper allows you to feed, soothe, monitor, and bond with baby in the comfort of your own bed. Meant to be used from birth until baby rolls over or pushes up on their own, the sleeper is anchored to your bed by a large flap that tucks under your mattress. The patented Airflow design of the hollow frame and breathable mesh fabric keep air circulating and baby cool.

The sleeper folds up nicely for convenient portability and compact storage.
A durable, cloth-covered U-shaped "wall" surrounds baby’s head and torso to limit their movement and help prevent parents from rolling onto them. The soft head barrier reduces the risk of entrapment, while the foot wedge--which can be used as a sleep positioner in future months--ensures baby stays snugly inside the sleep area. The supportive bottom is a cozy resting spot with the included soft cover, vinyl covered mattress, and removable, machine washable mattress sheet.

Reassurance and safety weren’t the only things The First Years folks thought of when creating this sleeper. Other benefits include its portability, a nightlight, and transitional use. For travel convenience, the Close & Secure folds up easily, is lightweight, and sports a carrying handle. Once baby has outgrown it, this feature means that it can also be compactly stored until needed again. A built-in nightlight allows you to quietly check on your bundle of joy during the night and provides enough illumination for feedings without waking your partner. When you are ready to transition baby to the crib, this sleeper can go with them--simply place it in the crib until baby is used to their new setting.

Two AA batteries are required for the nightlight.
