Ideally, buy a new car seat. If you're planning to get a secondhand seat, only accept one from a family member or friend so you can be sure it has not been involved in an accident. Do not buy one from a secondhand shop or through the classified ads.

The brand also offers a larger mattress size. This mattress works with the Mamas & Papas Dream Upon a Cloud Moses Basket but will fit other designs of these dimensions too. When our children were smaller we kept two protectors so we could change them over at night with minimal fuss.

Dudu N Girlie mattress protectors Coconut fibres are blended with natural latex and then encased in wool to create a naturally breathable and supportive mattress. Your baby will spend many hours in a cot, so make sure it's safe. If you're buying a new cot, look for one that meets British safety standard BS EN 716. The BS number should be in the instructions or marked on the cot itself. The Little Green Sheep makes Moses basket mattresses in three sizes, so as well as this standard size there are also mattresses designed to fit Mamas & Papas and Mothercare Moses baskets. There’s also an option to buy a fully customisable mattress if you happen to have an unusually sized Moses basket.

It’s also worth noting that this range of mattresses are Oeko-Tex certified, whose mission is dedicated to assuring consumers about textile products. Looking at suitability, safety and quality, meaning you can rest easier knowing you child is sleeping safe. Pillow use alone has been shown to increase the chance of SIDS occurring by up to 2.5 times. It is much safer to sleep your baby in a clear, flat, separate sleep space . Plagiocephaly (‘flat head syndrome’) While most Moses baskets are similar in size (around 80 to 90cm in length and 40 to 50cm in width), there is no standardised sizing for them.

The same ‘safer sleep’ rules apply to a travel cot. It should have a rigid frame and base, and a firm, flat mattress that is covered in a waterproof material. The Lullaby Trust has no evidence that putting twins in the same cot in the early months places them at greater risk of sudden infant death.
