Hammock swing

Our wide selection of baby and children's hammocks

Typically, it is the very young children who benefit from lying in a hammock, but older children can also benefit from it. A hammock is ideal for soothing your child, so you may be lucky enough to find not only hammocks for babies, but also for older children in the form of junior hammocks. There is a difference in how many kilos each hammock can carry, so if you want to be sure that the hammock can support your child, you can read more about the product. Information about weight capacity is typically listed under the specifications for each product. For some products, there is also an approximate age that the maximum weight capacity corresponds to. This way, you can easily get an idea of which hammock is suitable for your child.

The advantages of choosing a motorized hammock

A hammock typically has a motor, which allows it to swing itself. A hanging crib is a crib that is hung on either a stand or a frame or ceiling bracket, but these cribs can only hang, and if they are to rotate or swing from side to side, it requires you or another person to be nearby to keep the crib in motion.

The biggest advantage of choosing a motorized hammock is that you can let your child sleep peacefully on their own, and you therefore have time for yourself, as you not only have your hands free, but can also do other things while your child takes a nap. Many hammock motors have a timer function, allowing you to automate your childcare. You can leave the child for an hour while you take a nap or tidy up elsewhere in the house, but you can also be near the child in the hammock and take advantage of your child's nap to tidy up and clean the nursery.

The advantage of choosing a hammock without a motor

Just like motorized hammocks, hammocks without a motor are also elevated above the floor. This is especially advantageous if you live in a place where the floor is cold. Heat tends to rise, so when you place your child in a hanging crib, there is less risk of your child getting cold because it is higher up in the room than if the child were lying in a bed closer to the floor. The biggest advantage of choosing a hammock without a motor is that you do not have to spend time, money, and energy on changing batteries in the hammock's motor. The rocking and swinging movements that a hammock can produce, your child will likely be able to do themselves if they are lively and active. The child can therefore rock themselves to sleep. If your child is restless, they can put themselves to sleep.

Should you choose a hammock with a stand or suspension?

Whether you should choose a hammock with a stand or suspension depends on the flexibility you want. Some brackets are designed for ceiling mounting, while others are designed for mounting on door frames. Hammocks suspended from ceiling brackets are probably the least flexible, and hammocks on stands are likely the most flexible. On the other hand, hammocks on stands probably require more floor space. Hammocks that can be hung on frame brackets are relatively versatile, but it requires that you have a door frame where the hammock does not hang too much in the way. Instead, you get good use of the space, which can be a good idea if you live in a place with limited floor space.

Is a hammock good for nighttime use?

You can do many things, and to a large extent, it depends on your own preferences, but you should only place your child in a hammock at night if the child is not big enough to turn themselves. If you are not nearby to supervise your child, there is a risk that the child will turn without you noticing, and in the worst case, the child could fall out.
