How to Choose a Safe, Baby-Friendly Moses Basket (UAE, GCC & Beyond)
A baby’s first bed should offer comfort, security, and peace of mind. Across the GCC, and now in India and Malaysia, families are turning to handmade, breathable, and baby-safe materials. At Kroshè The Label, every Moses basket is created with one goal — to hold your little one with love, care, and safety from the very first day.
1) Check for certified materials
Always look for the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification — proof that the yarn or cord has been tested for more than 100 harmful substances and is safe for newborn skin.
All Kroshè baskets use OEKO-TEX certified cotton cords that are:
- Free from toxic dyes and residues
- Gentle on sensitive baby skin
- Breathable and comfortable for warm climates
2) Ensure a firm, stable base
A safe Moses basket should never sag or lose shape. Each Kroshè basket is crocheted with thick braided cords and finished with a solid wooden base, keeping the structure firm and supportive for everyday use.
3) Prioritise airflow and breathability
In regions like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Malaysia, airflow is essential. Crochet Moses baskets naturally allow fresh air to circulate, keeping babies cool and comfortable. Avoid synthetic or plastic baskets that trap heat or moisture.
4) Check handle strength and placement
Handles must be strong, balanced, and part of the basket’s construction. Kroshè handles are double-crocheted into the side walls to provide strength and stability when moving the basket.
5) Choose the right size
The most practical and safe size is 75 × 35 cm — spacious enough for newborn comfort and compact enough to fit beside your bed. Our optional wooden rocking stand provides gentle movement while maintaining full balance and safety.
6) Focus on the mattress
The mattress should always be firm, flat, and fitted. Kroshè baskets include a premium foam mattress with a removable, washable cover to ensure hygiene and long-lasting comfort.
7) Look for sustainable craftsmanship
True safety begins with honest craftsmanship. Every Kroshè basket is ethically handmade in the UAE using sustainable practices that respect both people and planet. Our made-to-order approach reduces waste and supports local artisans.
