The hammock is recommended for newborn babies and children up to 2 years old , depending on their weight. As a guideline, children should weigh between 4.5 -14kg to use the sprung hammock safely.
As with any crib or bassinet, we do not recommend placing any lose padding whatsoever around your baby while she or he is in the Kanoe. No mattress is required with the Kanoe. The Kanoe hammock functions like a loose, non-constricting sling, suspending your baby’s weight in much the same way that you do when holding or rocking your baby. In fact, one of the reasons babies love being in a Kanoe is because it feels so similar to being held in a parent’s arms. The Kanoe was specifically designed to gently support a baby while conforming to his or her natural shape, without the unnatural and unnecessary interference of a mattress.
A specialized weight-calibrated hanging assembly enables the hammock to bounce and sway in response to the baby's movement, mimicking the sensation of being held and rocked by the parent. The hammock can also be bounced and rocked by hand, producing an enhanced level of motion that is effective in soothing and calming restless babies. The smooth response and ceiling-mount system of the Kanoe combine to provide an exceptional range of motion. Even the smallest children easily learn to create soothing, joyful movements.
Adjustable straps extend above the hammock and attach to the bottom ring of the specialized spring assembly. The entire assembly attaches to an eye ring bolt which can be screwed into any solid structure, such as a ceiling joist or beam. These can be safely detected with the use of an inexpensive stud sensor available from most hardware stores. The Kanoe can be relocated anywhere around the home by simply unhooking it from one eye ring bolt and hooking it to one that has been installed elsewhere.
All the straps are adjustable for ceiling height and can be set to create a tilt for babies with reflux or colic.
As children get older, the spring can be removed and the Kanoe lowered so that it hangs just above the ground. They can then climb safely in and out, using the hammock as a comforting place to sit and play.
The Kanoe is quick and easy to transport, rolling up in to a bag made of the same fabric. A second eye ring bolt and detailed installation instructions come with every Kanoe.
Care instructions and dimensions:
The hammock can be easily unclipped from the support straps and is colourfast and completely machine washable.
The hammock component measures approximately 91.5 cm by 40.5 cm. For freedom of movement it should be positioned at least 70 cm from a nearby wall or object.
