Product terms and conditions of use
Please consult and follow the instructions on the manual of each product. The manuals provide an overview of the components and offer detailed assembly instructions. You can find the manuals on the website.
The products are intended for domestic and professional use.
The cradle can be used night and day. Once your baby can turn around, kneel, pull itself up or sit, the cradle should not be used anymore for this child. Depending on your baby’s size and development, this period could occur any where between 4 and 9 months old.
The cradle’s spring must be used ‘normally’. The manufacturer understands ‘normal’ not to include turning/twisting or a sudden offload (discharge) of the spring. Moreover, please note that springs can break. Always use the safety line!

When bought second hand it is strongly recommended to buy a new spring with safety line.


A cradle hook should not be screwed into the ceiling with too much force. Please pre-drill carefully and do not use any extra tools to add force. You could twist the hook, causing it to loose much of its strength. If worse comes to worst, it could break. That is why you should never use a second-hand cradle hook.
Make sure the ropes are tied safely and sturdily and check them regularly. Adjust the length of the suspension ropes by sliding the ‘ratchet eights’ along the ropes, to keep the cradle balanced horizontally.
Use the tailor-made mattress provided by Hussh-Cradles for the cradle. It has the required height and sturdiness for the cradle, and thus ensures the cradle is deep enough. The depth, measured from the top edge of the cradle to the top of the mattress, should be at least 7.8 in. (20 cm). If you choose for another mattress, it should be 17 (43 cm) x 30.7 in. (78 cm) and not be thicker than 2 in.(5 cm)
When bought second hand we recommend buying a new mattress for for the sake of hygiene.
The Hussh classic hanging cradle is not suitable as a travel cot. The Hussh flex cradle is also a travel cot, provided it has been assembled as a standing version.
If the cradle is placed on its legs, please fasten the eye nuts securely. Make sure the floor/ground is horizontal and dry, and air the bottom of the cradle at regular intervals.
The cradle is not suitable as a playpen.
Always make sure the tripod is placed on a flat surface.

The cradle can hold up to:
Hanging-standing cradle: max. 20 lbs. (9 kg)
Twin cradle: max. 33 lbs (15 kg)
The Cradle hook, Swinging branch, Stork and Tripod can hold the twin cradle with max. 33 lbs (15 kg)

Do not place or suspend the product near an open fire or other hazardous sources of heat like gas stoves, electric stoves, and so on.
Please make sure all the components are assembled correctly and that the screws and bolts are fastened tightly, so there is no risk that the baby, or any clothes, cords, straps, etc. get caught on a screw or bolt and tangle or trap the baby. Check the ironware at regular intervals to see if anything needs extra fastening.
The products must be used normally. We understand normal to mean: a calm manner of swinging and bouncing. The Swinging Branch and Stork must be used for vertical loads only.
Keep unsupervised young children away from the products.
Do not use the products in case of damage, defects or missing parts.
Follow the washing instructions on the label.

For use in day nurseries
Please follow the terms and conditions as stated above and also:
Place the hanging cradle and/or swinging branch at a pleasant and sensible height to work with.
Make sure all employees know how to use the product safely.
In concordance with the laws and regulations for nursery care, please make an independent Risk assessment of the product.
Do not leave the product unattended, since there are always other (young) children up and about.
Never leave the tripod unattended, since there are always other (young) children around who could knock it over.
Please check the products at regular intervals for any possible defects. The product must not be used in the event of any defect. Inform all the employees of the defect so that nobody harms a baby with a broken and unsafe product.
When used for nurseries we advise to replace the spring every 2 years.
When used for nurseries we advise to replace the mattress every 2 years for the sake of hygiene.
