When Jaś was born 5 years ago, things were simple. For everyday use, the stroller worked perfectly, and for outings, we had a carrier. Although often, the best place for him was in his mom's arms or riding on dad's shoulders.

When Ania came into the world, Jaś was 2.5 years old and could already cover quite a distance on his own. However, every child gets tired at times and needs a break. Sometimes, it's just not possible to carry a child, especially when you're alone, as it's nearly impossible to simultaneously carry a tired child and push a stroller. Every parent can relate to this. We felt it was time to find safer solutions to help us cross streets and navigate crowded sidewalks, avoiding collisions with other strollers or cyclists. After many hours, maybe even days, of research, we decided to go with a double stroller. Unfortunately, after just a few walks, we realized it was far from an ideal solution. The double stroller was not very maneuverable and difficult to push. It was larger than the single stroller, which was especially noticeable on crowded sidewalks, in store aisles, or parking lots where it struggled to fit between cars. Fortunately, we managed to pack everything neatly in our S-max for a vacation without needing an extra roof rack, but we know this would be impossible in most other cars. Despite that, we survived about six months with it while Ania was still in the bassinet. However, it was time for another change when Ania moved to the toddler seat. We didn't like the toddler seat itself, especially from a physiotherapy perspective, as we felt it didn't provide an ideal posture for the child and seemed unstable. With Jaś, we hadn't noticed these issues, but he was much older when he transitioned to the toddler seat and had better control over his body. Plus, Jaś was an active boy and spent much less time in the stroller. He preferred riding a bike, scooter, or simply walking alongside the stroller. In the stroller, he only rested, while for Ania, it was to be the main mode of transportation for at least the next few months. Another round of changes was upon us.

We went back to our previous, "traditional" single stroller and invested in an attachment. An attachment to the stroller is a popular solution. We often saw them during walks with other parents, though we didn't personally know anyone who had one and could share their opinion. When choosing the attachment, we relied on online reviews and ended up becoming the happy owners of one. Our joy didn't last long, though. We admit that the attachment isn't fundamentally bad and has its advantages compared to previous solutions, primarily its space-saving feature. However, the attachment left much to be desired. While pushing the stroller, our legs kept hitting it. When the child stood on the attachment while going over a curb, it was impossible to consider getting on a bus or tram. It was not very maneuverable, relatively heavy, and, again, raised safety concerns. Imagine a tired child who needs to constantly control their posture and maintain a standing position on the attachment. Of course, we could have purchased a seat attachment, but that was another significant expense, and it would still have been awkward, heavy, and uncomfortable. The child's temperament also played a role. Our kids are characterized by a lot of movement, decisiveness, and spontaneity, which filled us with fear when Jaś suddenly decided to exit the attachment during a ride! And from there, it wasn't far from a big accident. Then came the tears, the band-aids, the hatred of this mode of transportation, and the loud "Mommy, carry me!" That was the most optimistic scenario.

So... back to square one. We asked our family and friends and scoured the darkest corners of the internet, where we found a picture of a child sitting in a piece of fabric hung on the stroller's handle. It inspired us, and we were enchanted by this solution! As an experienced construction engineer, Mom knows that sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and acquire new skills. In this case, it was sewing. Before the hammock for strollers took the form we're presenting to you today, several prototypes had to be made and many test rides were conducted under various conditions. But it eventually worked; we made a few hammocks and began going on various trips without worrying about the children's comfortable rest. When Mikołaj was born, we were a bit concerned. Ania was almost 2 years old and hadn't used the hammock before. We weren't sure if it would work with the bassinet, as we had only used the hammock with a toddler seat previously. But after the first walk, we were at ease – Ania also loved the hammock! They now take turns sitting in it, even though Mikołaj is over a year old.

We were extremely proud of ourselves and our idea for long walks with the children. We shared our solution with other parents who had similar experiences with strollers or attachments. Immediately, they demanded their own hammock. Later, they called us and said, "You have to start selling these hammocks – they are much more comfortable than stroller attachments!" After a while, we received messages saying we must start mass production. Everyone who tested our hammock was asked about it during walks, wondering where they could buy one. This is how the idea of sharing our perfect solution with a wider audience was born, and here we are, the Mazelakis who fell in love with hammocks! Today, we feel obligated to share with you the possibility of enjoying comfortable walks with your children – of course, with the HAMMOCK - MAZELAKI. With every hammock, we attach a piece of our hearts. Hearts that happily grow with each hammock produced, with every review left, with every story you share with us, allowing us to be a part of it.
