Comparison of a Ghodiyu or Ghodiya or Thooli to a Baby Hammock

We notice that about 20% of our customers were originally from India that are living here in United States. Some even came back to get for their relatives. So, I was curious and I asked my customers, why do they like the baby hammock so much. They told me that because it looks and is used exactly like a Ghodiyu.

Ghodiyu is an Indian word that means "to help the baby sleep" or it means an Indian Cradle as well. Apparently, the ghodiyu or ghodiya has been used preRaam Bhagwan era. They pronounce it as "God-yu". I was also told that people from South India use something called a Thooli. According to her, thooli means cradle in Tamil (Indian word). It's a hammock that's hung from the ceiling rather than a stand.

So, we thought of just having a summary of the benefits of our baby hammock over the ghodiyu:

• Our baby hammock is JPMA certified, the ghodiyu is not.
  
• 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 ghodiyu, you cannot do that.
  
• 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 ghodiyu.
  
• The ghodiyu is a lot more bulky compared to the baby hammock. The baby hammock is a lot more compact.
• The ghodiyu does not help with reflux baby. Our baby hammock comes with the 3 levels of elevation, recommended for all reflux babies.
• The ghodiyu cannot work with any automatic cradles, therefore, you will always have to manually rock the baby yourself with the tether provide. As for the baby hammock, if you decide to get the automatic baby hammock unit, it is "HANDS FREE" baby rocking.
  
• There were complains in the web stating that the ghodiyu scratches the hard wood floors.
  
• 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 ghodiyu is just like a baby swing that you can get from Walmart or Target and can only go side to side or front to back. This is the biggest benefit of the baby hammock over the baby swing.

We took a picture from the web to share with all how the ghodiyu looks like versus our MamaLittleHelper Baby Hammock.
