Baby cradles are basically tiny cribs on a rocker. They are made of wood or iron making them heavier than baby bassinets and moses baskets, and therefore less portable. They are often passed on as heirlooms and are a wonderful traditional baby furniture item.
Baby moses baskets are exactly what they imply - a small woven basket usually lined with pretty fabric. Most have handles for carrying from place to place and some have the added benefit of a hood.

The bedside crib is a cosleeper that attaches to the side of an adult bed. It allows your baby to remain close to you at night without actually being in your bed. Baby has the benefits of sleeping near you, without the risk of you rolling over on him or her.
