Amby Air Baby Hammock?

[~TT40~]

Oh, didn't see your question, I took so long to reply loll! The actual space they take up is equivalent of a cradle or bassinet, but the hammock mattress is much longer and the way it cradles babies makes it much safer and you can use it for much longer. My eldest DS slept in his Amby until he was 23 months old lol! The spring included with the hammock can hold up to 12kg of weight. When he outgrew it, we added a second spring and that saw him through until he was almost two

Cool, it's not so much the sleeping space. More the space they take up in the room,

They easily fit next to your bed like a cradle or bassinet. The footprint of the frame is designed to fit through a standard door frame so it's easy to move from room to room

Meow - they are much larger than other hammocks which is why you can use them so long. I have not seen the Arm's Reach organic hammock? I have seen their other one which is much smaller than the Amby. We are looking at an organic range in the future

Yeah the space they take up in the room is quite small, just looking at mine I reckon the base would be similar to a bassinet or cradle (but then I've never had either of those so just a guess lol). I have mine in the lounge next to our couch because we only use it for day sleeps, and it fits perfectly right next to it.

The sleeping space is nice and long though, a toddler could easily fit in there.

They do take up more space than a bassinet but not by much. The thing for me though is I need space for it to be able to swing back and forward and that's where you need slightly more space. To help give you the visual in my spare room the bed is in the middle of the wall and there is enough space left on each side to fit a small bedside cabinet. My bassinet could fit down the side of the bed but the Amby couldn't. I just put him at the foot of the bed instead if I was in that room as I still have to get up to get him out so a few extra steps didn't bother me. I highly recommend the Amby though so if you can make it fit you won't regret getting one.

i bounce more than swing, so for me the footprint of the amby frame was the biggest part.
