A little about Little Angels
Little Angels was created by a mother who struggled to find the information she needed from the shops she visited after the birth of her first child. So she created her own shop, which offered parents informative advice on top of the most-needed products to support their growing kids.
Little Angels is now a one-stop-shop for parents, selling over 50 brands and tons of products, sometimes on sale, including Moses baskets for baby. A new flagship store was opened in Nottingham in 2019.
A little about Clair de lune
Clair de lune produces nursery bedding collections, sheets and blankets, as well as a range of pushchair and car seat accessories for modern parents and their little ones.
What is the Clair de lune Wicker Moses Basket with Stand?
The Moses basket with mattress is a cocoon-like pod for baby to sleep from birth up to the maximum weight of 9kg (or until baby can roll over, pull themselves up or sit unaided). I would say the cutoff point to using the Noah Pod® would be around five months old.
The Noah Pod® is made in the UK and has Waffle cotton fabrics which are soft and breathable. The material is finished with star prints and a sleepy moon with an integrated hood which is made from handwoven, lightweight and sturdy wicker.
The Moses Basket or Noah Pod® also comes with an exclusive Wrapover® dressing, which pads and covers the edge of the wicker internally and externally so baby is kept comfortable and there are no sharp edges.
How much is the Moses Basket and Stand? What do you get in the package, and where can you buy Clair de Lune Wicker Moses Basket?
The Moses Basket and Stand bundle currently costs £166.48* and comes with two handles, coverlet, padded liner, and mattress. If you buy the bundle, you save £18.50*.
The bassinet can be bought on its own for £184.98* but you can buy the additional Moses Basket Stand for £22.49* if you buy with the Noah Pod®. If you buy separately, the price is £24.99*.
The Noah Pod® is also available in Blue, Grey and Pink and comes boxed and ready to use (only the stand needs building).
How long will Moses Baby Basket with Stand take to be delivered?
Little Angels offer free next day delivery if ordered after 2pm to all mainland UK addresses on orders over £50.00. However, if your order contains an “out of stock” item, then it will show the expected date in the order summary and Little Angels will try to stay within that timeframe.
If you order by 2pm on a working day, Little Angels will ship the product the same day.
All other orders will be subject to a delivery charge, which is £5.00 on orders under £50.00.
Little Angels can also deliver products internationally subject to their pricing policy and supplier limitations. You can find the delivery charges in Section 5.3 here,

First impressions of the Moses Basket Bassinet with Stand
My first impression of the Noah Pod® is that it looks so stylish. The handwoven wicker adds a fairy tale touch to the Moses Basket. Baby Amelia looked safe and comfortable in her own little rocking baby crib.
Was the Clair De Lune Grey Wicker Noah Pod® Over the Moon with Grey Stand easy to use/put together?
It was very easy to set up. The Moses basket comes ready with a mattress and you can put together the rocking stand in minutes. The inserts are easy to place inside the basket and they felt very secure, so I wasn’t worried about excess material hanging over the baby.
How to use the Clair De Lune Grey Wicker Noah Pod® Over the Moon with Grey Stand
You place baby in the basket when they are sleeping or resting and you can rock baby to sleep using the stand’s rocking motion. You can also carry the Noah Pod® around the house as long as the baby isn’t inside. The basket is not designed for baby to be carried around in.
Was the Moses Basket and stand easy to use/comfortable?
The Noah Pod® was very comfortable for Amelia and she loved sleeping in the basket, often for long periods. Little Angels also provided us with some lovely linen sheets and blankets which are very soft and high quality, so they helped provide Amelia with good quality sleep.
What are the pros of using the Moses basket and stand?
The basket is light with long handles to help you move around the house, so baby can sleep in any room you are stationed. The stand rocks the basket gently without waking baby up, but if they’re unsettled, the rocking motion helps baby go back to sleep.
The premium quality design, comfortable inserts, and easy-to-assemble stand makes the Moses Basket a doddle to use, especially after birth when mum needs to sit/lay in certain positions in the house. You can place the Moses Basket by the bed and there’s no need to get up. It’s the right height for lifting baby in and out of the pod while you’re in bed.
What are the cons of using the Moses basket with stand?
Sometimes the handle straps can get in the way when you take baby in and out of the basket. They are perhaps a bit too long.
The baby can only really use the Moses basket until around five months, depending on their size, so it has a short shelf life before baby needs to move onto a larger bedside crib or a cot. The basket can become a little narrow, which may not be so comfortable for them when they are older.
Are Moses Baskets with Stands worth the money?
Moses baskets for babies are the perfect transition from womb to cot and I’ve used them for all four of my children. They’re small enough to mimic the tiny space of the womb so that baby feels safe and not overwhelmed by the grandeur of a cot so soon after birth. They’re normally cheaper than other baby beds, but that is because the period in which the baby can use them is shorter. But they are definitely worth the money.

Ease of use
The Moses Basket is easy to use. Simply place the basket on the stand (make sure it slots into place properly) and then baby is ready to go. The inserts are simple to take off and wash. The handles can sometimes impede carrying the basket around or taking baby out, but it’s only a minor issue.
Fits the purpose
The Moses Basket helps baby transition from womb to bassinet with as little trauma as possible. We have always used Moses Baskets for the first four to five months because we found it the easiest to help baby sleep at night. With three of my four births involving some birth trauma, I particularly found the Moses basket useful because I could place it wherever I was stationed and recovering.
Style and comfort
The Moses basket has a beautiful grey woven basket that just glides effortlessly with the nursery decor. It looks like a little angel’s palace.
Controls/functionality
If it’s possible, a little baby changing basket, or storage basket / shelf would work inside the stand, but otherwise it’s used for simplicity and simple is what it is. No gimmicks, no gizmos, just a bassinet for baby to sleep in.
Value for money
A touch pricey but definitely worth the price when you pair it with premium quality material which keeps baby secure.
What is my overall opinion of the Clair de Lune Grey Wicker Noah Pod® Over the Moon Wicker Moses Basket with Rocker Stand?
The Wicker Noah Pod® is a premium quality Moses basket with an affordable price tag. Amelia slept comfortably in it for five months and, even though the handles were sometimes a bit of a nuisance, all the material used was such high quality that I never feared for her safety.
Considering the time baby spends sleeping in a Moses basket, it was worth the price. We added black and white patterns so baby could play in the basket too. Perhaps some lower-priced options could offer the same functionality, but if it’s premium quality you’re looking for, then this is the basket for you.
