What is the difference between the baby hammock & baby swing? Of course the baby hammock is better!

I guess some of you may be curious as to what is the differences between the baby hammock and the swing? Why buy the baby hammock whereby you can get a variety of baby swings from anywhere like Walmart, Target, Babies "R" Us, etc?

Benefits of Baby Hammock over the Baby Swing:
  • The baby hammock can be taken apart in less than 5 minutes, placed in a travel bag and easily checked in if you like to travel with your baby hammock. With the swing, you cannot do that.
  • The baby hammock is a lot more stable compared to the baby swings. They have a wider base and is safer for babies.
  • There is no tools required to assemble the baby hammocks. In less than 5 minutes, you will be able to set up the baby hammock but not for the baby swings.
  • The baby swing is a lot more bulky compared to the baby hammock. The baby hammock is a lot more compact.
  • Even though the recommended age for the baby hammock is up to 8-12 months but like for my baby, he slept in it till he was 18 months. There is no way that we can put a baby in the baby swing for over 7 months.
  • Most importantly, the baby hammock actually mimics being in mama's tummy. When mama walks, the motion is up and down, only the baby hammock can provide. The baby swing can only go side to side or front to back. This is the biggest benefit of the baby hammock over the baby swing.








The baby hammock mimics being in mama's tummy. When mama walks, it is up and down. Mama don't walk side to side like a swing. That motion is crucial to help newborn adapt to the world. They are so used to being cuddled in mama's tummy.













































As for the baby swing, it can only go side to side and front to back. Mama do not walk like that, therefore, it definitely will not be able to help infants in terms of getting them use to being in mama's tummy.








With all that said, now, what do you think? Come check out the different baby hammocks that MamaLittleHelper carries. Please go to www.mamalittlehelper.com or www.baby-hammock.com
