INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Dear Mom, Dear Dad,
We are very happy that you have chosen our baby hammock intended
for babies since their very birth. You are holding a product that we have
manufactured with love in the Czech Republic, in cooperation with Czech
manufacturers and suppliers, using high-quality natural materials. By
purchasing this product, you are helping the development of sheltered
workshops.
Thank you!
Your Hojdavak Team
Our Hojdavak hammock soon calms your baby down and provides him/her
with much needed good quality sleep. The spring provides rhythmical up-
and- down rocking - the same rocking your baby used to experience with
his/her mother walking during her pregnancy; it makes him/her feel safe.
This is why babies like all kinds of rocking.
Your baby will lie in the hammock with slightly curved back and legs bent to
the body. Most physiotherapists recommend carrying babies in exactly this
posture, as it helps correct spinal development and reduces colic. Not only
will your baby relax thanks to the hammock: so will his/her mother who thus
will have more time for herself and for the rest of her family.
Our baby hammock was awarded a TÜV quality certificate and complies with
stringentEU general product safety standards (EC Directive 2001/95/EC)
BABY HAMMOCK ASSEMBLY
Start with the spring:
check whether the safety
rope passes through the
spring, the snap hook and
the chain link. Check the
tightness of the knot
(figure 8 bend knot*) and
check it regularly. Adjust its
length according to your
baby’s weight.
*FIGURE 8 BEND KNOT
THIS KNOT SHOWS NO PROPENSITY TO SELF-UNTYING; IT
IS RELATIVELY EASY TO UNTIE EVEN AFTER BEARING A SE-
VERE LOAD; IT IS SUITABLE FOR JOINING CABLE ENDS IF YOU
WANT TO MAKE A LOOP; BOTH FREE ENDS MUST REMAIN AT
LEAST 10CM LONG.
1
Insert the chain link
in the prepared suspension
system and screw it closed.
2
Insert the mattress into
the sling.
5Arrange the sides of the
sling in plies and insert the
wooden spacing bars into
their holders.
6
Make a loop on each end
of the pull rope and insert
one of these into the snap
hook.
7
Insert baby and tie the side
ribbons together to make
a small bow.
8
Take the textile sling:
at its upper ply, fold the
material into small plies so
it will fit into the snap
hook.
3Insert the plied material
into the snap hook and
close the snap hook. You
will place the baby into the
hammock from the side,
where the sling is fitted
with ribbons.

MAINTENANCE
Wash the textile sling at 40°C. The mattress is not washable due to the inserted buck-
wheat pods; clean any dirty spots with a wet cloth. For this reason, it should be pro-
tected with a cover - see our bio cover on sale. The product lifespan is at least 2 years.
DISPOSAL
Product disposal: When it has been irreparably damaged or is no longer usable, dis-
mantle the product and separate its individual parts and materials; dispose of these in
accordance with applicable law at the time of disposal.
WHERE TO HANG YOUR HAMMOCK
Finding the right place for your baby hammock is essential to its successful use! Install
it in the room where you spend most of your time during the day, so as to be able to
see your baby at all times. It should be a place where you can comfortably sit and rock
your baby. This will give you the possibility to pay attention to your other children, to
read or to work on your notebook while rocking the baby. For night-time use, the best
solution is to install a second hanging place next to your bed.

PURPOSE
The Hojdavak baby hammock is intended for rocking to sleep, daytime rest and sleep
of babies up to 9 months old. It does not replace a baby bed. Its maximum bearing
capacity is 15 kg. Our baby hammock is certified and therefore complies with stringent
EU general product safety standards (EC Directive 2001/95/EC). Any use or conditions
of use other than specified by the manufacturer are prohibited!
iMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• Read the instructions for use carefully and use the product accordingly – Any
changes or adjustments to the product negatively impacting its safety and health
features are forbidden. Do not install the hammock near any fire or other heat
source.
• Do not leave your child unattended – As soon as your child is able to sit or move
around in the Hojdavak hammock unaided, the hammock should only be used when
an adult is present. The manufacturer is not responsible or liable for any accidents.
The hammock is not intended for playing.
• Do not exceed the 15 kg maximum weight – Risk of spring deformation or rupture.
• Check the safety cable on a regular basis – The cable must pass through the spring,
the snap hook, and the chain link. Adjust its length so as to allow for free movement
of the spring, and to keep the hammock above ground even in the event of spring
failure.
• Check the condition of all cables regularly – They must be in perfect condition,
with no mechanical wear or tear. If you find even the slightest damage, replace the
cable immediately!
• Check the soundness of the suspension system regularly – Ceiling screw, doorway
bar, stand-alone frame. Install your hammock only in locations that can safely bear
the load. Pay attention to plasterboard ceilings or other cladding. In such cases,
always consult a specialist before hanging the hammock there. Test the soundness
of any screws and supports by using your own body weight.

be kept out of reach of children aged 3 or less.
