Instructions and Safety for your Baby Sleep Pod

Baby Sleep Pod Instruction video for attachment to any Pram

The Baby Sleep Pod is designed to fit onto any single-width pram or stroller equipped with a hood. Attaching it takes mere seconds, ensuring convenience and ease.

Below, you'll discover our instructions on how to use your Baby Sleep Pod effectively as well as how to maintain safety for your little one and how to properly care for it so it lasts you a long time:

You don't have to utilise every single strap; employ only as many as needed to suit your pram and preferences. The Baby Sleep Pod features eight pairs of shorter straps, a choice made for safety to eliminate the potential risks associated with fewer, longer straps which might pose entanglement hazards. While some individuals might opt for just two or three pairs of straps, others could require all eight to ensure a secure fit without any light gaps.

Before fastening the top straps, pull the hood of your pram or stroller forward at least halfway. This action will position the Baby Sleep Pod slightly lower at the front, simplifying the attachment process at the bottom. If you are having difficulty reaching the foot rest, bring the hood out all the way to allow better reach for your Baby Sleep Pod.

The straps aren't limited to connecting to the pram or stroller frame itself. They can be linked together through any available gap, such as hood hinges. Alternatively, fasten them to each other around the rear or beneath seat if needed/possible. Remember that you might not necessitate the use of all straps, and you can adjust their length as required.

Whenever stationary, even indoors, orient the front of your pram or stroller away from direct sunlight. Whenever feasible, seek out shaded areas.

 UV rays, including reflected UV rays, can infiltrate the pram or stroller through any openings not covered by Baby Sleep Pods. These rays reflect off surfaces like water, concrete, snow, and sand.

Standard sun-safety recommendations globally suggest keeping children of all ages out of direct sun between 11 am and 4 pm.
