Baby Romance
International's hand woven baskets, as well as the bedding are made
by established safety standards of the United Kingdom (Great Britain
for those of us who hardly leave the US). This is because, as of
yet, the U.S. does not have established safety standards for Moses
Baskets. So, when choosing your Moses Basket supplier, ask what
safety standards their products are made by, and then come buy from
us!
Basket Construction:
The baskets are made of 100% organic raw woven Palm Leaf material.
The Moses Baskets are constructed so as to avoid
any risk of pinching, cutting or other injury to the child lying in
the basket, to caregivers or to a sibling who can come into contact
with the basket. The basket is woven in
such a manner as to avoid cuts & lacerations with gaps and openings
of a size to avoid entrapment of fingers and the risk of
strangulation.
WARNING:
Maximum weight of child is 15 pounds.
The mattress measures 29" x 11" x 1 1/2".
A Moses basket is suitable for a child who cannot sit up or roll
over by itself and cannot push itself up on its hands and knees.
The safety of your child is your responsibility.
Flammability:
The baskets are tested according to EN71:2 - they shall not produce
a surface flash.
Depth, height, rigidity &
handles:
The minimum depth of the basket between the mattress
support and the upper edge of the basket is 200mm. The manner in
which the basket is woven ensures rigidity of the sides. The handles
contribute greatly to the safety of the basket. BR baskets have
handles, which are attached from right underneath the basket and are
secured at regular intervals up the sides. They are of such a length
as to meet over the center of the basket to enable the carrier to
maintain a firm grip on both handles at the same time. The length
also helps maintain the correct balance. The handles will not flop
into the basket and present a strangulation or entanglement risk.
The proportions are such to ensure the stability of the basket.
Bedding:
Although long ties are aesthetically pleasing any ribbons or ties on
BR products are a maximum of 220mm to avoid entanglement and
strangulation. All ends are protected from fraying and all threads
are trimmed. BR does not use chain-stitch sewing to avoid tiny
finger entrapment. The manufacturing unit operates a strict needle
policy and the bedding is passed through a metal- detector. A pillow
may look pretty but is potentially lethal for a small infant – BR
will never supply a pillow with a Moses Basket. All filling
materials are fire-retardant polyester.
Mattress Design:
The mattresses are firm 1.5 lb density fire
retardant California grade foam. Others may be less dense (less
firm) and may not be California grade fire retardant. The following
link emphasizes the importance of a firm mattress. The text from
