Differences between the Computerized Baby Hammock Versus the Portable Automatic Self Rocking Baby Hammock?

You are probably wondering what is the differences between the Computerized Baby Hammock Versus the Portable Automatic Self Rocking Baby Hammock? Which is better for you and your baby or is there a difference?

First of all, some of you may not even know what is a computerized or portable automamtic self rocking baby hammock? Basically, a baby hammock is like basically a hammock but designed for babies to mimic being in mama's womb. You could buy the baby hammock that is what we call the manual version, whereby it is either there is no movement or you have to rock the hammock up and down before it moves. But mama doesn't stand still all the time, most of the time, mama is busy walking up and down or doing something and therefore there is movement. So, in order to mimic mama's womb 100%, you will need this computerized baby hammock or the portable automated baby hammock.

The functionality is the same for both. I have created a chart so that you can see the comparison. Basically, as a summary, if you would like a unit that you just put at home, then, I would suggest that you get the Computerized Baby Hammock. If you plan to travel or pack up and bring the hammock to grandma's house, then, you should get the Portable Automatic Baby Hammock. One thing that the portable automatic baby hammock has is that if you put the timer for 30 mins, after 30 mins, the hammock will stop rocking but once it detects movement, it will continue rocking for another 30 mins. That is why it is called the self rocking baby hammock. Though, it will go up to 36lbs, so, if you want to put your baby for more than that weight, then, the computerized baby hammock will work from you.

I happen to have the opportunity to babysit my nephew on a weekend, so, I have a few pictures of the boys sleeping in the hammocks. My son, 30 months old is in the computerized baby hammock and nephew, 22 months old at the time when this picture was taken is sleeping in the portable automated self rocking baby hammock. Son is 32lbs and nephew is 27 lbs. Please enjoy the pictures! By the way, during the summer time, I usually let them sleep in the sarong netting, the reason is because we live in TX and it is HOT HOT HOT here. Check them out!
