Take a careful look around our website and choose the product that best suits you. Please always read the product descriptions carefully, as they may contain useful information about the minimum requirements for using our swings! Once your cart contains everything you need, choose the payment method that suits you best and review the available shipping information.

First, choose a suspension method, which can be a hook (wooden hook, concrete hook, or power hook) or a stand. Once you have selected the suspension system that suits you, choose a baby swing. The swing’s box will contain the necessary ropes, rods, outer cover, and cushion. Once you have done that, you only need to know your baby’s weight, as you must always use a spring suitable for their current weight when selecting the spring. It is very important to replace the springs every 6 months for safety reasons!

The swing can be mounted on a concrete ceiling or a wooden beam (see Accessories/swing hook). A swing hook is available for both types of ceiling. In good weather, the swing can also be used outdoors and easily mounted on a tree branch. In this case, no additional equipment is required: simply throw the rope over the branch and secure it with the carabiner attached to the end of the rope. The baby swing cannot be mounted on a plasterboard ceiling.

A baby’s first encounter with the swing is a very important and formative experience. If possible, choose a time when the baby is neither tired nor hungry. During the first use, it is a good idea to show the baby the ADAMO swing and explain exactly what is going to happen. Kneel or squat so that your upper body is at the same height as the baby swing, facing it with the leg opening toward you. Maintain eye contact with the baby and, carefully lowering yourself to the height of the swing, place your baby inside. Stay calm, convey that something good is about to happen, and laugh or smile at your baby. It is important never to swing the baby vigorously the first time; instead, gently rock the baby. If you gradually get the baby accustomed to the swing, you can later swing more energetically, but this should never happen on the first occasion. It is advisable to equip the baby swing with a spring suitable for the toddler’s weight and gently familiarize the baby with it by moving it softly up and down while rocking.

Once babies become accustomed to the swing, they often enjoy falling asleep in it, as they gradually relax and drift off while being rocked, swung, and gently bounced. If you would like to settle your baby to sleep in the swing, place them in it while they are sleepy and have a full tummy. Begin rocking and bouncing slowly, continuing until your baby gradually relaxes. You will notice this when their tightly clenched fists open, they begin to blink slowly, and they gently fall asleep in response to the soft rocking motion. Settling your baby in the swing can greatly help you learn about their sleep cycles, including the deep-sleep phase, and can also strengthen the already close bond between mother and child. This is especially true when the swing is used not only for settling the baby to sleep but also for playful time together, such as singing and reciting nursery rhymes.

The swing is safe from the newborn stage. It replaces a cradle and combines it with a swing. In South American countries, cradles are also used in incubators, as rocking premature babies helps accelerate and stabilize their weight gain. Babies with colic forget about their uncomfortable stomach cramps while rocking and soon calm down. The child sinks into the fabric under their own weight, and this enveloping sensation is soothing. Their small head does not rest on a hard surface, so it is not subjected to pressure. However, it is very important that if a parent notices an asymmetrical posture (the baby always turns their head in one direction, or their body curves to one side in a C shape), they consult a specialist before use.

This depends on age, interest, and vestibular maturity. Some young children are very sensitive to vestibular stimulation, while others immediately enjoy and ask to be rocked. I would recommend that they spend shorter periods in it more frequently and actively (playing and swinging for 10–15 minutes, even 3–4 times a day). If the baby falls asleep in it, there is no need to worry; nothing bad will happen. However, for crawling babies and older children, it is important to put their little legs through the opening designed for them. Do not take your eyes off the little one!

In the baby swing, the baby lies horizontally, so there is no strain on their spine. Once they can sit up independently in it, they are ready for it, so we can safely let them.

Yes, they can sleep in it, but let’s be careful not to let them get used to sleeping only there.
Once they get a little older, they will need to move around, which they cannot do in the swing. During the day, they can of course sleep in the swing several times. However, do not put them to sleep in it overnight, because while we are asleep, we cannot monitor them as closely.

It is worth opening the leg section once the baby no longer fits comfortably without doing so or is able to roll over. Pulling the legs through the openings serves as a safety feature, as it prevents the baby from turning onto their stomach in the swing. Later, in a sitting position, the little one will use their legs to swing and bounce independently.

Yes. If our child independently sits up in the baby swing, we can safely let them practice. As soon as they get tired, they will be able to lean back, so this is not a forced position like that of children who are propped up and seated on the floor.

Pages could be written about this topic. Numerous renowned scholarly works discuss the positive effects of swinging. It is important to emphasize that a child’s vestibular system (in the ear) is directly connected to the nervous system, and its maturation can also be influenced by swinging. A. J. Ayres spent years researching the fields of sensory integration, one component of which is this system. She developed therapy based on it, which can be used to address behavioral, motor, and learning difficulties.

A child’s sense of balance develops when they move away from the midline and then find their way back. While seeking balance, the child tenses certain muscles and simultaneously has to relax specific others. The coordinated movement of these small muscles is essential for coordinating the child’s movements. These early stimuli greatly influence the harmonious development of our child’s later movement, speech, and abilities.

Professionals at FejlesztőHáz also design programs with specific goals, such as movement therapy to stimulate speech development. In such cases, it is very important to seek the advice of a sensorimotor development specialist.

From a therapeutic perspective, I would recommend rocking in every direction to stimulate the vestibular system! (up and down, right and left, forward and backward, and in circles) But the idea is good, since when the baby is rocked from side to side, they are gently moved out of the midline. A more effective way to initiate rolling is to lay the baby on a blanket on the bed. From this starting position, lift the blanket on one side of the baby so that they roll onto their stomach, then continue lifting the blanket so that they roll back onto their back. If two people can exercise with the baby, the same blanket exercise can be supported even further by rocking the baby from side to side in the blanket.

Yes. The baby swing can be easily installed anywhere in the home using a swing hook. The swing hook can be installed in multiple locations, and since the swing can be easily unhooked, you can take it with you when spending an extended period in another room. The stand’s weight limit is 10 kg (after this, it is advisable to expand the child’s play area to provide a fun experience and support unrestricted development).

The swing can be used from birth up to 3 years of age or 15 kg. These two criteria are generally reached at around the same time. Newborns gain weight very quickly, but this slows down over time, and, with one or two exceptions, they reach 15 kg by the age of 3. So even if you are unable to purchase the swing sooner, it is not too late—they will be able to use it for a long time.

The positioning of the rods is a constant source of debate among mothers and fathers.

Initially (during infancy), it is advisable to place the shorter rod at the bottom so that the child can see out of the swing more easily and follow their mother with their eyes.

Later, when the baby can sit up, it becomes especially important whether the shorter or longer rod is on top! To avoid the risk of accidents, the shorter rod must be positioned at the child’s shoulder height.

This must be decided individually for each child, depending on whether the front of the swing needs to be higher. (Does the size of the child’s upper body require this height? Usually not!)

The adjustable suspension is one of the most important safety features of this type of baby swing!

Its importance becomes apparent when the baby can sit up. At this point, the height of the baby swing should be adjusted using the height-adjustment carabiner on the suspension, so that the baby’s feet do not touch the ground (depending on the child’s development and the swing’s adjustment, this will probably need to be adjusted daily). When the swing is adjusted correctly, the child’s center of gravity shifts toward the front of the swing, aligning the front bar with the baby’s shoulder height (so, due to the combined positioning of the center of gravity and height, the child cannot climb out or turn over). This height encourages the child to press the swing down with their bottom and bounce!

It is not recommended to lower the swing completely; the baby should not stand flat-footed in the swing.

Unfortunately, we are aware that many companies and auction platforms sell products that attempt to create the impression that they are identical in every respect to the original Adamo swing. Most of these products do not have adjustable suspension!

Please be very careful!

Adamo always develops its swings based on feedback from mothers. Most of the feedback we received concerned how placing the baby in and taking the baby out of the swing becomes more difficult as the baby grows. Our swings with a crossbar make this easier and faster, so we recommend this version.

Always make sure that it is an original Adamo product! If it is an older design (without a crossbar or with a knotted crossbar) and you received the ropes disassembled, please contact us at info@adamo.hu for further assistance. If you also received or purchased a spring, it must be replaced in every case! Since the spring must be replaced every 6 months for safety reasons, there is a risk with a used spring that it has been in use for longer than this, and its weight rating (0–10 kg; 10–15 kg) is also uncertain. If you do not have an instruction manual, please contact us so that you can be sure to use it correctly.
