Is a baby hammock safe?

The hammocks themselves are very safe, they have seat belts and if we put the baby in it correctly, nothing will threaten him. The biggest doubt may be their suspension at a certain height, and rightly so. Therefore, only safety-approved special mounting kits should be used to install the hammock. These are usually the same accessories that are used to hang adult hammocks and can withstand at least 100 kilograms of load. Another issue is the installation itself, you need to find out in advance what the ceiling is made of and whether it is suitable for hanging. For example, a suspended ceiling is absolutely not suitable for this, but concrete or a wooden beam ceiling will be ideal. At this point, it is again worth mentioning the stands, which are properly constructed and dedicated to baby hammocks, when used properly do not pose any danger. The baby hammocks offered in our store are made of natural and safe materials.
