Babykörbe und Wickelkörbe

Unsere handgewebten, afrikanischen Babykörbe sind für Neugeborene gedacht, die darin die ersten Monate schlafen. Sie bieten Ihrem Kind einen gemütlichen und beruhigenden, begrenzten Raum. Sie nehmen viel weniger Platz ein als ein Kinderbett oder ein Gitterbett, sodass sie leichter in Ihr Schlafzimmer passen und für ein Nickerchen tagsüber von Zimmer zu Zimmer getragen werden können. Sie werden sich wohler und sicherer fühlen, wenn Ihr Baby in dem handgewebten Babykorb in Ihrer Nähe ist.

Matratzen sind separat erhältlich und Sie können einen geflochtenen Babykorbständer verwenden. Unsere Wickelkörbe sind ebenso bequem. Sie können sowohl auf den Boden als auch auf einen Tisch gestellt werden. Unsere Ghana-Babykörbe sind in verschiedenen Mustern und Farben erhältlich.

SIND MOSE-KÖRBE GUT FÜR NEUGEBORENE?

Geflochtene Babykörbe werden seit Jahrhunderten verwendet, traditionell zum Tragen von Neugeborenen. Das Design wurde im Laufe der Jahre weiterentwickelt, um einen äußerst bequemen Schlafplatz für die Kleinen zu schaffen. Obwohl sie in einer Vielzahl von kinderzimmertauglichen Stilen und Farbkombinationen erhältlich sind, schafft das schlichte Design unserer gewebten Babykörbe aus Ghana einen sicheren Schlafplatz und macht es einfach, das Baby bei Bedarf im Haus herumzutragen. Geflochtene Babykörbe sind von der Geburt bis zu einem Alter von 6 Monaten geeignet, und viele Eltern entscheiden sich für sie, weil sie im Gegensatz zum geräumigen Platz eines Kinderbetts eine gemütliche und behagliche Atmosphäre bieten – insbesondere, wenn sich ein Baby in einem sehr frühen Lebensstadium befindet.

 Choosing a Moses basket for your nursery 

When choosing a Moses basket, there are several practical things to consider.

Material

Consider the type of material used to make the basket and the texture and appearance you prefer.

Natural woven materials can bring warmth and texture to a nursery, while each type of fibre has its own characteristics.

Size

Check the dimensions of the individual basket and make sure it is suitable for the space where you intend to use it.

Handles

Some Moses baskets have handles, making them easier to move when empty. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding moving or carrying a basket with a baby inside.

Mattress and bedding

Check exactly what is included with your chosen basket. If a mattress is supplied, follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding its use and replacement.

Handmade character

Remember that handmade baskets can vary slightly in shape, colour and dimensions. These variations are part of the handmade process.

Creating a natural nursery

A Moses basket can be more than a practical nursery item. Its natural woven texture can work beautifully alongside other natural materials and colours.

Pair your Moses basket with:

  • Soft neutral or colourful nursery textiles
  • Woven storage baskets for nappies and baby essentials
  • Small baskets for toys and books
  • Natural textures such as wood and cotton
  • Colourful handmade accessories

Our aim is to help you create a nursery that feels warm, welcoming and personal rather than overly uniform.

 Our handmade Moses baskets 

At The Bam's Art Shop, we choose Moses baskets that combine practical design with traditional basket-making skills.

Our baskets are handmade by artisans, meaning that no two pieces will necessarily be completely identical. You may notice small variations in colour, texture, shape or weave.

These natural variations are part of the character of a handmade product.

We believe that nursery products can be practical while also bringing colour, texture and craftsmanship into the home.

 What are Moses baskets made from? 

The materials used in Moses baskets vary according to the design.

Our collection may include baskets made using natural plant fibres and traditional woven materials. Please check the individual product description for the exact material used for each Moses basket.

Natural woven fibres give each basket its own texture and appearance, while traditional handweaving creates subtle variations from one basket to another.

Where a product includes additional components such as handles, lining or a mattress, the individual product description will provide the relevant details.

 How are handmade Moses baskets made? 

The exact process depends on the basket and the artisan community producing it.

Traditional basket-making generally involves preparing the weaving material before gradually building the basket by hand. The artisan shapes and tightens the weave as the basket develops, creating the finished form.

Handles, linings and other details may then be added depending on the design.

Handweaving requires patience and skill, and the small variations that result are part of what makes a handmade Moses basket unique.

We work with artisan partners in different African countries and value the traditional skills and knowledge passed down through generations of basket makers.

 Why buy a handmade Moses basket from The Bam's Art Shop? 

We believe in celebrating the people and traditional skills behind the products we sell.

The Bam's Art Shop works with artisan partners in Africa, including communities in Ghana, Kenya and Senegal, with the aim of developing long-term and fair working relationships.

Our handmade baskets are produced using traditional techniques, and the individual character of each basket is part of what makes it special.

When you choose a handmade Moses basket, you're not simply choosing a nursery product. You're also choosing a piece of traditional craftsmanship that has been made by skilled hands.

 Caring for your handmade Moses basket 

The correct care method depends on the materials used in your particular basket.

In general, natural-fibre baskets should be kept dry and protected from prolonged exposure to moisture.

For everyday cleaning, gently remove dust and surface dirt rather than soaking the basket.

Always follow the specific care instructions supplied with your product.

If your Moses basket becomes damp, allow it to dry thoroughly in accordance with the manufacturer's care instructions.

 Moses Basket Frequently Asked Questions 

What is a Moses basket?


A Moses basket is a small, lightweight woven basket traditionally used for newborns and young babies. Its compact design makes it particularly suited to a baby's early months.

Are your Moses baskets handmade?


Yes. Our Moses baskets are handmade by skilled artisans using traditional basket-weaving techniques. Because they are handmade, individual baskets can have subtle differences in colour, shape and texture.

What are your Moses baskets made from?


Materials vary between products. Our collection includes baskets made using natural woven materials and plant fibres. Please check the individual product description for the exact materials used.

Are Moses baskets suitable for newborn babies?

A Moses basket should only be used for a baby when the specific product is designed and approved for that purpose and is used according to the manufacturer's instructions and current UK safe-sleep guidance.

Always check the product information before use, including the recommended age, weight and mattress requirements.

How long can a baby use a Moses basket?


This depends on the specific Moses basket and the manufacturer's instructions. Check the individual product information and stop using the basket when your baby reaches the stated weight, age or developmental limit, or when the manufacturer advises that it should no longer be used.

Does a Moses basket come with a mattress?

This varies between products. Please check the individual product description to see whether a mattress is included.

Where a mattress is supplied, use the mattress specified for that particular basket and follow the manufacturer's instruction

Can I use another mattress in my Moses basket?


Do not assume that a different mattress is suitable. The mattress needs to be appropriate for the specific basket and meet the manufacturer's requirements. Check the product instructions before replacing or changing the mattress.

Can I carry my baby in a Moses basket?

For safety, it is generally better not to carry a baby in a Moses basket. Move the empty Moses basket to the desired location first, then carefully place your baby inside. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific Moses basket.

How do I clean a Moses basket?

Cleaning instructions depend on the material. Most natural-fibre baskets should not be soaked. Gently remove dust and surface dirt and follow the care instructions supplied with your particular product.

Not necessarily. Handmade baskets can have small variations in colour, shape, texture and weave. These differences are a natural result of the handmade process and give each basket its individual character.

Can I use the basket for storage after my baby outgrows it?

Depending on the design, the basket may be useful for storing nursery items, toys, blankets or other household belongings once it is no longer being used for its original purpose.

Always discontinue use as a baby sleeping product when the manufacturer advises that it is no longer suitable.
