More space for more relaxation - the flat base cradle is designed and developed by sleep experts with your baby's best sleep in mind - no matter how much space the little one loves when drifting off.
Cradle with flat base and long interior dimensions for Moonboon’s Spring and Motor System. Combine it with the advantages known from the Baby Hammock.
Moonboon’s Cradle is a game-changer when it comes to functional sleep products because the Cradle allows your child to sleep on a flat and firm base while still benefitting from the bouncing movements the Baby Hammock is known for. A new classic has seen the light of day.
The Cradle has been developed in cooperation with several experts to ensure a safe and calming space for your baby. With long interior dimensions, the Cradle is more spacious and more open compared to the Baby Hammock. Use the Cradle instead of a regular bed or a floor-based cradle or as an addition to the Baby Hammock.
(Quote: ) Sleep and Nursing Counsellor Mia Bernscherer Bjørntoft: “I genuinely cannot think of a single reason to use a normal bed or floor-based cradle.”
• Developed by experts
• Combine the flat base with bouncing movements
• Long interior dimensions
• Calming effects for more and better sleep
• GOTS-certified with care for the environment
With the iconic Moonboon design, the Cradle is designed for the design-conscious family.
The Cradle is designed for children weighing between 3 and 15 kg who still need the calming effect of the Baby Hammock but is more comfortable with a flat base and more space.
The open design is ideal for the curious child who likes to pay attention to everything going on around it, or for children who needs more space to settle down.
The Moonboon Cradle would also be the right choice for children with special needs who aren’t compatible with the curvature of the Baby Hammock.

1. Installation:
Ensure you set-up the cradle securely and safely in accordance with the user manual.
2. Environment:
Prepare a calm and quiet area of your home for the cradle to be used in – this will help deliver a great sleeping environment. Try placing a familiar item such as a muslin cloth or stuffed toy in the cradle for a few days before you introduce it to your baby. This familiar smell will help baby adapt to their new sleeping surrounds.
3. Start slow:
Rocking should be introduced gently and slowly – either manually or with our Moonboon Motor. You can gradually increase the tempo and duration of rocking as your baby gets used to it. You’ll soon learn what works for you.
Every baby is different, and some may take longer than others to adapt to the cradle. Be patient, observe their cues, and make adjustments accordingly.
If you're not sure what accessories are right for you and your baby, then this might be the right thing for you! We’ve collected a few accessories here, which we call our essentials for the cradle.
First off, we recommend the waterproof mattress protector, because little accidents can always happen and it’s nice to know that no matter what your cradle won’t be ruined, and to round off the look, why not add a fitted sheet to make your baby’s sleep space even cozier. We also love to recommend adding the heaven canopy to your cradle to reduce ambient light and minimize sleep disturbances, as well as an added layer of safety with the Mattress Fixi that keeps your little one lying snug and centered on the mattress.
Finally, we advise you to choose your preferred method of mounting, where we recommend our sleek ceiling mounting kit or our portable door frame clamp.

IF IT'S NOT SAFE, WE DON'T SELL IT
You never compromise on your baby’s safety, and we don’t either! Therefore we have created an overview of important things to keep in mind when shopping baby sleep products, so that you and your baby can sleep soundly.
The speaker can help everyone. White noise can be an excellent tool if your child tends to fall asleep at noisy times in addition to their normal nap or night-time sleep. Babies are used to being surrounded by noise, so a completely quiet environment can have the opposite effect of what you expect at bedtime.
No. Children, and parents for that matter, don't outgrow white noise. White noise continues to be helpful for children as well as adults. Many continue to use white noise for their children (and themselves) to support sleep long after the baby is a newborn.
As with any routine, you should replace white noise with something else if you want to stop using it. Or gradually phase out its use. Weaning the child from white noise is quite simple. Simply turn the sound down gradually over a week or two until it's switched off completely.
The main advantage of white noise is that it can block out other sounds, but it can also be soothing for children and parents when they are trying to fall asleep. Because white noise can be heard at all frequencies, it can block out sudden sounds like a snoring dog or a noisy car on the street.
