„Chicco Baby Hug 4 in 1“ – Comprehensive and detailed review
If you are about to buy some kind of baby cradle/seat and want it to be practical and useful, that will perhaps not end up in the basement after a month, take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of the “Chicco Baby Hug 4 in 1″ product that are listed below.
Advantages:
Makes easy your daily activities.
– Comfortable, practical and multifunctional product.
Multifunctionality:
– Cradle in „zero angle“ – flat position.
– Chair with two semi-reclining and one sitting position.
– Low position so the chair can be brought closer to the children’s table.
– High postion so chair can be brought closer to the dining table.
– Height adjustment levels.
– Easily movable – on the wheels.
– Can be fixed using brakes on wheels.
Suitable for use from the birth.
– The cradle could be in flat position so it can be used by the baby from the birth.
Mobility.
– Can be kept in any room.
– Easy to transport from room to room.
– It passes through a door of standard width, since the max width of the cradle is 60 cm.
– You don’t have to bring the baby stroller, that has been outside, into the house.
– It can be placed in the living room when guests come to see the baby and that way you can avoid guests entering your bedroom while the baby is sleeping.
Feeding chair.
– The semi-lying position is great for feeding baby with a food at the begining and until the baby is able to sit alone. There are two semi-reclined positions.
– The next position is the one after the higher semi- reclined and that is the position of the classic feeding chair. So you don’t have to buy an independent highchair when the time comes.
– You can bring it closer to the dining table so that the baby could eat with you.
– There are safety belts (same as found at strollers) so that the baby is secured.
– There are brakes on the wheels, so no matter how big and strong the baby is, that chair can’t start moving on its own if the brakes are pressed.
The baby is constantly at your sight.
– It can be with you while you eat, prepare food, rest, watch TV, read a book or unpack something.
Height adjustment.
– The highest position is important when mother has just came from the hospital, so she can’t and shouldn’t bend much.
– Lower height is good if the baby falls asleep in the cradle, so you can relax in the bed at the same time as baby – just bring it closer to your bed and set the height.
– The height adjustment is not made to be at certain positions. You can adjust it at any height you want only by pressing the pedal with your foot and gently moving the cradle up or down with your hand. That is great if you want to bring it closer to the dining table or children’s table.
Animation.
– Music and toys hanging from the frame.
– The frame can be adjusted to three positions and can be removed.
– Music is included into the frame, there are two types of music (faster-more cheerful intended for playing and slower- more classical for getting baby to sleep) and two volumes (quieter and louder).
– The music turns off after a while.
– There is also a light part with lamps on the frame, changing colors.
– If the middle toy is withdrawn, the song will change, which is especially interesting for children.
Play area.
– When the baby starts to sit on its own, but before the period when it starts to get up, you can once again use this cradle in its horizontal flat position as a small fenced play area.
– If the cradle is used this way it will be a win-win combination. The babies will be excited to be able to see all those pictures and books on the shelves that you showed them while holding them in your hands. The animations hanging from the frame will be interesting again to your baby.
– When baby starts to get up alone, simply set the cradle to the lowest height.
Shaking tolerance.
– The crib has tolerance if you want to shake it in order to make the baby fall asleep, but there are no additional vibrations like other similar products have.
Textiles.
– Colors are modern and easily fit into the interior.
– The side parts are made of thinner material, which can be seen when you turn the cradle towards the light, and that is great when it is hot since it allows air circulation.
– There is an special option with a net in some parts, so if you really need that one then take care when buying.
– Textiles and toys are easy to remove and can be machine washed.
Installation.
– The whole construction is easy to install – everything is a click away, but it is a little harder to deinstall because for each part you need to press several small buttons at the same time, for which you will most likely need a help (from a father).
Disadvantages:
– Plastic table you find at classic feeding chairs must be ordered separately, but if the baby will eat at the dining table then you do not need it at all.
– An additional chair cover could be ordered separately. It is useful while the baby eats so that original textile doesn’t get dirty from the food. Since this cover can’t be ordered so easily in some countries at the moment, for this purpose you can also use the classic cover for a children’s mattress and throw it to wash when it gets dirty.
– As for the cradle itself, it is not the most comfortable when the baby sleeps on it. The crib doesn’t have a thick mattress, but only a pad that is very thin (like the one in the stroller). Therefore, a mattress that can be inserted into the cradle can be ordered additionally. Since this mattress can’t be ordered so easily in some countries at the moment, you can alternatively use one of the parts of the three-part mattress for portable baby bed or insert a thicker cover under the existing one.
Experience:
Depending on what you are looking for in this product and for what purpose you need it, this „easy daily“ thing can be quite useful. We had a pleasant time using it and we are very satisfied with the possibilities and quality.
