Movement and Security

The gentle movement of a hammock or hammock chair is familiar to every toddler. The child feels protected and safe, almost like in the belly of its mother. Swaying appeals to a basic human instinct and has a calming effect. But CHICO products are also ideal therapeutic "playgrounds". Many remedial teachers use them specifically to sharpen the children's sense of balance or to promote the development of movement coordination.

Dorli Salzmann, who works as a midwife, also writes us about her experiences:

"Swinging and swaying are an embryonic primordial human need. Gentle swaying has a soothing effect on the newborn babies, a rocking sensation that is based on the feeling in the womb creates a feeling of security and calms them down. That's why we swing our babies in a hammock and let them re-experience their familiar sensations."
