We suggest an age range for the hammock from birth through to 6 to 9 months old. This is to give you a realistic expectation for how long your baby will use the hammock but be conscious that the point at which a baby should be taken out of the hammock and put into a cot with bars will be slightly different for all babies as they all develop at different rates.

The European safety standards say ‘when a baby is able to sit up or kneel they must be moved into a bed with bars’ and we would strongly recommend that they are moved before this. From a safety point of view, it is very important to monitor your baby to see how they sleep and move in the hammock. 

The hammock is designed for sleeping and once your baby wakes up, it should be taken out of it and not left in it to play.

Signs to look for as your baby grows:

In our experience, parents tend to get around 3 weeks to notice that their baby is strong enough to move around and this should be taken as time to prepare a cot for them, although the time may be shorter. As babies sleep so well in the hammock there can be a temptation to keep them in it, however, safety must always be a priority and as soon as you think your baby may be able to crawl, sit or kneel in it you must move them into a cot.

As they get older and stronger, they start to experiment with their bodies and try to pull themselves up into a sitting position. This is a critical point to be aware of and they should be moved into a cot as soon as you see this.
