When Angela and Robin Koszewa became parents, they found themselves in a dilemma, namely how to sensibly balance their time between work and their roles as new parents.“The Koszewas soon realised that the means available on the market did not fully match their requirements. They thus refined the cradle they had bought so that it would grant them the freedom of moving freely while still being able to watch their offspring.

NONOMO® baby hammocks are mobile and can easily be mounted to the ceiling, a doorframe, or a specially designed wooden stand, and thus give the parent not only an optimum of freedom of movement, e.g. to fix dinner while still keeping a watchful eye over the baby, but also the freedom to take the hammock on travels thus granting the baby a soothing haven wherever it is taken,” elaborates Funke on the usefulness of the baby hammocks. Fidella® – stay close, feel free! Baby wraps allows the baby and its carrier to form a close emotional bond. While in the 1980s baby wraps were still a novelty and often sneered at, their advantages
