Safe Use:
This hammock is exclusively intended for back sleeping only.
Do not place baby on their side or tummy.
The weight limit for this hammock is 15kg. For an infant of 10kg or more we
recommend using 2 springs side by side for a firmer bounce.
The hammock should never be bounced so hard as to cause the parts to ‘jump’.
Never use with a mattress wider than 35cm, longer than 100cm or thicker than
2.5cm when compressed. Warning: do not modify base with a flat board. If a firmer
base is preferred please use our cocofibre mattress stiffener and only for babies
4kg or heavier.
The hammock base must be no higher than 40cm above the ground, with the
exception from 0-2 months when you may find that having the hammock at waist
height is safer and easier on your back.
Do not sleep baby in excessive layers of bedding or clothing and avoid synthetic
materials as babies can overheat. Note: Hats are not suitable as they can move
over the face and interfere with breathing.
As per bassinet standards: When a child is able to roll, sit, kneel or to pull
itself up, the hammock is no longer safe and should not be used.
Safety Check:
Please ensure hammock is assembled correctly.
Check the Natures Sway ceiling screw is at least 40mm into solid wood and will
take your weight.
Check the hammock is centred and fixed at the top ring with either our
recommended D-ring or with a secure tie.
Always ensure the wooden beam is securely fastened to the hammock body
and is horizontal to within 5˚.
Check that all clips and hooks are closed and secure. NEVER use the hammock
with open hooks as bouncing may cause disconnection between parts.
Do not use hammock if parts are broken, torn, frayed or missing.
Do not suspend the hammock from any fixture not recommended by Natures Sway.
Safe Environment:
Check the floor area under the hammock is free of obstacles.
Ensure that any ties or mobiles are well out of reach of small children.
Keep your baby and the hammock close by, for instance in the living room for
day sleeps and by the caregivers bed for night sleeping.
Never leave young children unsupervised in the vicinity of the hammock.
It is not intended as a swing or as children’s play equipment.
Pay close attention to your baby’s surroundings and environment.
Do not place the hammock next to any open fire, wood stove, gas heater,
electric heater, heat pump or other source of strong heat.
