For 22 years now, swing2sleep has been providing relief in everyday family life as the original. However, successful products also attract imitators – and so the market now offers a range of different automatic baby hammocks in various designs. With all these offers, many people ask themselves: Why should I go with the original? And what about the safety of the automatic baby hammock motor for my baby? You ask – we deliver. Because we don't just have good reasons why swing2sleep is the best solution for your baby, we can also prove them. You will find all the answers regarding safety in automatic baby hammocks in this article.
swing2sleep: By parents for parents
The founding couple, Maik and Kerstin Schwede, made a discovery over 20 years ago: the two realized that their young daughter – a colicky baby – would calm down when placed in a blanket and gently rocked back and forth. Based on this observation, they developed the prototype of today's swing2sleep using the motor from a toy car.
Safety comes first with the swing2sleep automatic baby hammock
Today, the swing2sleep system is naturally more sophisticated. The toy car motor is long a thing of the past. Born out of their own necessity, safety was always the top priority for the two inventors with their automatic baby hammock motor. After all, the development of swing2sleep was initially about their own child.
At that time, there were no automatic baby hammocks on the market. No wonder the idea quickly met with great interest – swing2sleep rapidly became a success. It didn't take long for some cheaply produced imitation products to appear and try to establish themselves on the market. Today, there are many imitations of swing2sleep. But the original remains the original – and so we can maintain our position as the market and innovation leader. And we have done so for 22 years now.
22 years of swing2sleep – 22 years of expertise in baby sleep and safety
We are the first and leading manufacturer of automatic baby hammocks. So far, so good. But the mere fact that we are the original doesn't necessarily make the product the safest on the market. That's why here are six good reasons why swing2sleep is not only the best but also the safest choice for your baby.
#1: Strict quality control
Our products undergo strict endurance tests to do everything humanly possible for the safety of your babies. Our motors sometimes have to go through millions of oscillations, of course without breaking. Only after many tests and inspections, and when we can be 100% sure that our products are of high quality, do we bring them to the market and thus to your home.
#2: We never stop improving
When you break new ground as an innovation leader, a misstep can happen. If everyday use shows that a component does not meet our high requirements, it's back to the drawing board for us. Probably the best example is the star ring of our maly motor. It was completely redeveloped after fractures occurred in the previous version. Today, it consists of a single casting without any weld seams. All affected units were, of course, replaced free of charge.
By the way: In many imitations on the market, that very star ring, which proved to be unsafe, was copied 1:1. The component is still used by imitation brands today – due to a lack of good quality control and the experience we have been able to gather over 22 years.
#3: 7 springs for baby happiness
To develop the optimal automatic baby hammock, the founding couple sought the expertise of specialists from all over the world on the subject of baby development. And it became clear: with an automatic baby hammock motor, the most important thing is that the automatic baby hammock offers the gentlest possible vibration amplitude. The up and down movements must not be jerky, but must always be smooth. This consistency can only be achieved with multiple springs. That's why we at swing2sleep rely on a set of seven springs. Depending on the baby's weight, the number of springs should be adjusted so that the spring constant ensures the most harmoniously balanced up and down movements for every weight of the child. This not only guarantees the highest level of safety, but also ensures particularly smooth vibrations. This protects the baby's back and your nerves.
#4: Over 100,000 satisfied parents
This is clearly one of the strongest arguments on this list. And it makes us proud! Over 100,000 satisfied parents trust their children to a swing2sleep – because they are convinced of our quality and safety. That's why we attach great importance to the opinions and feedback of parents, because they are the experts: not only for their children, but also for everyday situations.
#5: A complete system – also for twins
We are the only manufacturer on the market that offers a full-fledged twin system. Many have twin hammocks, but for many copycat brands, that's where it ends. Especially with twins, it is crucial that the automatic baby hammock motor can handle the weight, that there are enough springs to balance the weight of both babies, and that the frame is appropriately stable and offers enough space. Only swing2sleep offers all these points.
#6: Buckle up, please!
Thanks to our optional harness system, even particularly agile children are in good hands in a swing2sleep, without being able to wriggle out of the hammock by bouncing and turning.
Last but not least, it should be said: some of our imitators place a lot of emphasis on mentioning that they only use pollutant-free materials. We actually thought that was a given for a baby product. We've been doing it this way for 22 years. How else?

We don't just place great value on safety for your child, we are also friendly: to the environment, to parents, and to your wallet. Our passionate commitment can be seen in many things, e.g.:
- We haven't had to throw away a motor in 22 years. Used products are reconditioned as part of our refurbished program and are then as good as new.
- Our rental option makes our swing2sleep affordable for everyone, so that perfect care does not depend on the wallet.
- Our innovative spring mechanism ensures relaxation even when adding or removing springs.
- The swing2sleep automatic baby hammock was designed and developed in Germany, but is produced with international partners. For example, we manufacture some of our hammocks in Ghana, providing jobs and perspectives there.
Safety for automatic baby hammocks: A brief conclusion
You can save on many things – even and especially when it comes to your own child. For example, you can borrow almost all clothes in the first few months of life, as your baby grows so quickly. Diaper pails with refill cassettes are usually just as much a waste of money as special baby water from the supermarket. But when it comes to an electric automatic baby hammock for your baby, you shouldn't look for the cheapest price on relevant online platforms. Most of these products come from no-name manufacturers without European safety standards or warranty regulations. So pay attention to safety, quality, and the transparency of the company when choosing your automatic baby hammock. Then both you and your baby can stay equally relaxed.
