What a cradle bouncer actually does
A baby hammock only moves while someone keeps it moving. In the early weeks that is fine; you are sitting next to it anyway. But a baby who settles after ten minutes of rocking and wakes the moment it stops turns every nap into half an hour of standing still.
The cradle bouncer takes over that job. It keeps the same calm up-and-down rhythm going for as long as you set it to, so your baby stays asleep and you can leave the room.
How you control it
LeeLo02 can be operated directly on the unit or from the app over Bluetooth. There are 10 speed settings with soft overlaps between them, so you can find the movement your baby responds to rather than choosing between fast and slow.
The timer runs for 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or continuously. Most parents match it to the nap they expect and let it run out on its own. The app also keeps a 24-hour sleep log, which is useful when you are trying to work out whether a pattern is forming or whether yesterday was just a bad day.
Noise
A motor that wakes the baby defeats the point. LeeLo02 runs quieter than LeeLo01, and the suspension is a rope with an internal metal core and a plastic cover rather than a metal-on-metal hook, which removes most of the clicking you would otherwise hear at night.
Which spring and which hammock
The cradle bouncer works with all Membantu baby hammocks, baby cradles and suspension options. Used with our regular spring, it covers a total load of 3–15 kg, counting child, hammock and any accessories. Without a bouncer the same spring starts from 0 kg.
One thing worth knowing: the spring is a wear part. If the hammock has already been used for an older sibling, replace the spring before you add a motor.
Safety
LeeLo02 is CE-marked and tested by an accredited testing centre against the applicable European safety standards. It stops automatically if it detects irregularities in the movement, and the maximum load is 25 kg.
It was developed in Denmark together with leading sleep experts. As with the hammock itself, always keep your baby supervised while the bouncer is running, and read the manual before first use.
