Hi Kam Khong, the Miyo Baby Hammock seems very stylish indeed. Glad that it works for your son. It’s such a bliss when babies take long and peaceful naps. The thing about traditional sarong is that it wraps around the baby’s face and my boy disliked it. These modern hammocks with mattresses are much better.

Even though Vee weaned himself off the Amby Baby after 2 months, I never regretted the purchase. If the next baby is a fussy sleeper, I’d use the motion bed right from the start and save everyone’s sleep.

Many baby essentials are cheaper than in Malaysia, where the import tax is rather high. I absolutely envy you!

Thanks for your advice. After much thought, we bought Miyo Baby Hammock instead simply because the wooden frame looks stylish and it can be used with any type of baby hammocks.

My baby is already 19 weeks now and it won’t be long before he outgrows it but it definitely worths buying. He napped for 3 hours this morning
We should have bought it earlier when my mum suggested me to hang a sarong at my hubby’s pull-up bar. I thought it was dangerous and further didn’t know where to buy the spring . Now, I can’t wait to tell her the outcame.

Amby Baby Motion Bed is cheaper in UK. It’s about £150 here and free delivery.

Hi Kam Khong, thank you very much for reading Mummy’s Reviews™. Last December, I read about the recall at CPSC’s website here and contacted the retailer for the repair kit. The repair kit is pending approval in the U.S. and has not reached me yet.

During our few months of use, I only allowed my boy to sleep in the Amby Baby for his naps and first part of his night sleep, when I am at close range watching him. Once he awakens, I carry him out of the hammock.

The hazard is the baby being entrapped by the mattress pad when the hammock tilts. Therefore, when the baby is at a very active age, able to pull himself up and try to get out of the hammock, it may no longer be suitable.

Instead of ordering online, I suggest you bring your baby to try out the Amby Baby at the store, to see if he likes it.

Before the Amby Baby, my boy tried a hands-me-down traditional Asian hammock (without mattress pad). He did not like the fabric sticking closely to his face.

We found your reviews very useful and bought a few things that you recommended such as the Beco Baby Carrier and books by E. Pentley.
We have been eyeing the Amby Baby Motion Bed as well because my baby only naps in the carrier. We were about to buy it online until we saw this news about 2 infants were found dead in Amby Baby Motion Bed in USA. We are not sure now whether different brand baby hammock will be better or they are all the same. Any advice?
