Carrycot as moses basket question
Evening ladies,
Bubs is due to arrive in about 9 weeks time. We have orderd our pram, which has a carrycot which is suitable for overnight sleeping - we intend to use the carrycot as the moses basket. With the rain we had today, I just wondered, even with the best rain cover, do the carrycots still get a little wet, or are they ok? I don't want Bubs to have to sleep in something damp! Should I be buying a moses basket???

with ds we had a moses basket but he could never settle in it so we ended up using his carry cot. Had no problems with it, the rain cover kept it completely dry and he was born in January so it had to endure some extreme weather!
I tend to think moses baskets are a waste of money - we only had one that was passed down from OH's cousin. Her baby wouldn't sleep in it either!
Ever since my stepdad told me about how the handle of his son's moses basket broke when taking up downstairs years ago (and I mean like 25yrs ago so i appreciate baskets are muchos better these days LOL) i have been put off using the same one and carting it up and down every day,
I think so long as I use the raincover, baby will be fine to use it if i've just come in from the rain. If its wet or damp for whatever reason - i'll just have to find a solution

I have the mamas & papas ultima & used the carrycot as a moses basket & it was absolutely fine. the raincover kept the carrycot completely dry as it basically goes all the way around & hooks underneath so no rain gets in at all. I had my DS in Feb so have been out in lots of rain & it was always dry for him to sleep in. I think it will be fine xx

Mrs-L, we have bought the Mamas and Papas Sola, and we love it! I can't wait to pick it up in August!!
From reading your replies, I'm thinking I'll need to buy another mattress to make it comfy for Bubs! Off to Mamas and Papas!!
Thanks again ladies

I bought a mamas and papas mattress for both and found them to be great and if i had another baby i would def get another moses basket (well borrow one)
