Product Name Tested: Amby Motion Bed
• Stability Test Measure the angles when the unit falls down frontwards, backwards, rightward and leftward.
Testing method:
Loads of 1 kg, 2 kg progressively up to 15 kg were used. The angles were then measured when the unit falls frontwards, backwards, left and right.
Assessment: Pass - The frame did not topple over at any weight and in any direction.
• Withstand load test
Testing method:
A load of 5 kg was placed in the hammock. The displacement of the frame and the extension of the spring were measured and checked for anomilies each time when a 5 kg load was put accumulatively on the cloth of the 'nest'.
Assessment: Pass - No anomily was detected in all tests.
• Load strength test
Testing method:
Place all units as shown. Put up to 50 kg load to the spring and measure the displacement in the directions of 'a' and 'b' and the extension of the spring. Then check for anomalies and measure the displacement after the load was removed.
Assessment : Pass - No anomilies were found either in spring or distortion of frame.

Carbon Dioxide Test (rebreathing) - 1993
Amby Motion Bed Test Results: Carbon Dioxide Testing
Hammock was tested with a mechanical model of a 3 month old infant. This model breaths warmed, humidified gas with an end expiratory plateau of 5% carbon dioxide The head of the model was placed face up, face to the side and face down in the hammock.
Results face up: There was no significant increase in inspired carbon dioxide
Results with face to the side: Not touching side material, inspired carbon dioxide rose to an average of 0.32%. Touching the material, inspired carbon dioxide rose to an average of 1.28%
Neither of these levels would be considered dangerous.
Results face down: Very variable as it was difficult to keep the model face down, without it rolling back to it's side or back.
Assessment: Pass
Overall there is minimal danger of rebreathing even if a baby rolls on to it's side against the material. We would like to see a warning on the package not to place babies in the hammock on their front (prone). Because of the design of this product we think it unlikely that a baby will roll on to the prone position or willingly sleep prone in this product.
