Moonboon hammock motor
Can the motor be used with any brand of hammock?
The hammock motor from Moonboon is compatible with most hammocks
on the market, but it is developed especially to be used with the Moon-
boon hammock and spring.
Note that baby may need to weigh more than 9 lbs / 4 kg for the motor
to work properly if you are using a hammock of a different brand. Refer
to the section on WEIGHT.
What kind of hook is to be used to hang the motor from the ceiling?
Each type of ceiling will require a specific kind of hook. We recommend
you check with your local building center or home improvement store and
ask for guidance in terms of hanging the hammock securely. Make sure
the hook is made of stainless steel. If your ceiling is plaster, it is generally
recommended that you hang any weight from a structural beam or rafter
foot.
Why can’t the motor move faster?
Several experts have participated in the design of the Moonboon prod-
ucts – engineers as well as professionals from the health authorities. Our
primary concern has always been safety, and the maximum speed of the
motor was set according to the recommendations of the experts.
Is the motor able to operate for longer than 3 hours?
We designed the motor timer to run from 5 minutes to 3 hours. This pro-
vides time for the motor to run until baby settles down; it will then gradu-
ally slow down until it is paused.
Should you wish to use the motor for longer than 3 hours, we recommend
that you ensure baby is comfortable and snug before you start it. It is not
possible to set the motor to run for longer than 3 continuous hours.
Why are plastic parts included with my baby hammock?
In August 2021, the Danish Safety Authority reported that there have
been cases of children getting metal splinters in their eyes due to unsuit-
able metal hooks used to hang sensory swings, bird’s nest swings, and
baby hammocks.
Moonboon does not sell metal hooks but, in the light of this new an-
nouncement, Moonboon has developed plastic parts for all Moonboon
hammocks to completely avoid metal on metal.
Questions and Answers
It is important to use a stainless steel
hook without coating. Similar pre-
cautions must be applied if you use a
metal chain.
