It's no secret that buying baby gear can be expensive, which is why buying second-hand can be a great option. However, there are a few things to consider before making your purchase to ensure your baby's safety and comfort.
To help you make an informed decision, we have put together a list of helpful list suggestions on what to consider before purchasing a previously owned baby hammock.
These include:
- Check the cradle's age and condition. It's important to make sure the cradle isn't too old or damaged, as this can compromise its safety
- Inspect for damage: Before purchasing, give the hammock a thorough inspection to ensure that there are no signs of wear and tear, such as frayed edges or broken parts.
- It is advisable to thoroughly inspect the cleanliness of second-hand items before purchase, and only consider those from a smoke-free environment.
- Please verify that there is no metal-to-metal contact in the mount, to avoid metal splinters.
- We always recommend replacing the spring when you buy a pre-owned baby hammock. As the spring of a baby hammock is prone to wear and tear, it is imperative to either purchase a new one or replace it if you intend to use the baby hammock for multiple children. This ensures the safety and comfort of your little ones.
- Mattress: It is advisable to consider replacing the mattress of a pre-owned baby hammock in order to provide a hygienic sleeping space for your infant. House dust mites are often found in used mattresses, thus replacing it would ensure a clean and comfortable environment conducive to quality sleep for the baby.
- Mattress stiffner: Ensure that the mattress fits into the cradle and that it is still firm and flat.
- Consider the seller. Are they reputable and trustworthy? Do they have any reviews or ratings from previous buyers? It's important that you feel comfortable with the person you're buying from, especially when it comes to your baby's safety.
