Heimess

Heimess is a German brand that makes cheerful wooden baby toys, with bright colours, beads and funny little figures. At Tiny Giggles you will find Heimess wooden pacifier chains and pram chains. A pacifier chain keeps the dummy clean and within reach, and a pram chain gives your baby something to look at and play with on the go. Below you can read what makes each product special, how to use it safely and how to keep it looking nice.

Heimess pacifier chains

A dummy always seems to fall on the ground just when you are out and about. With a Heimess pacifier chain you attach the dummy to your baby's clothes, so it does not get lost and stays clean. The chains are about 21 cm long, made of wooden beads with a metal clip, and suitable from 0 months. You can choose from lots of cheerful designs:

• With a little figure: elephant, penguin, fish, racing car, football or a pink heart.
• In calm colours: blue-grey-white, pink-grey-white or pink.
• Natural: the ladybird from the Heimess nature line, made of untreated wood.

You will find more pacifier chains and clips from other brands under pacifier clips.

Heimess pram chains

You stretch a pram chain across the pram, the crib or the car seat with two metal clips. Your baby lies underneath and looks at the colourful figures, and later starts reaching for them and batting at them. The moving parts, rattles and bells make a sound when your baby touches them. The Heimess pram chains are about 40 cm long and made of wood. Choose from:

• Duck or duck and frog, cheerful and colourful.
• Elephant in pink.
• Heart bear in white and pink or in bright colours.
• Pirate, for a bold adventure in the pram.

You will find all pram chains together under pram chains, and more toys for walks under stroller toys.

Why wooden baby toys?

Wood feels warm and natural and fits nicely in little hands. Wooden beads make a soft clicking sound when they tap against each other, and the bright colours of Heimess catch your baby's attention. Wooden toys also last a long time: with good care, a pacifier chain or pram chain can often be passed on to a little brother or sister.

Playing and discovering

In the first months, a baby loves looking at bright colours and contrasts. A pram chain hangs right within their field of vision, and later within reach. That way your baby practises looking, reaching and grabbing, and discovers that moving makes sound. A pacifier chain with a little figure is something to look at straight away when your baby is in the carrier or on your lap.

Using them safely

Only use a pacifier chain when your baby is awake and you are with them, and remove it when your baby goes to sleep. Never make the chain longer and never hang it around your child's neck. Attach a pram chain firmly with both clips so it hangs tight. Remove the pram chain as soon as your baby tries to pull up on it or gets onto hands and knees. Regularly check pacifier chains and pram chains for loose beads, cracks or damage, and stop using them if anything is broken.

What suits which age?

• Newborn: a pram chain above the crib or pram, to look at. In the first weeks your baby mainly sees bright colours and contrasts.
• From about 3 months: your baby starts reaching for the chain and batting at it, and discovers the rattles and bells.
• With a dummy: a pacifier chain is handy from birth, as soon as your baby uses a dummy.
• Sitting and crawling: remove the pram chain as soon as your baby tries to pull up on it, and choose a rattle or teether instead, for example.

Walks with the pram

Many babies love a walk, but sometimes the pram gets a bit boring. A pram chain then gives your baby something to do. Swap chains now and then so it stays new and exciting. Make sure the chain does not hang too close to your baby's face and that your baby can still move freely underneath. On sunny days, provide shade with a hood or parasol, not with a cloth over the pram, so there is plenty of fresh air for your baby.

Cleaning

Wooden toys do not belong in the dishwasher or soaking in water. Wipe the beads with a damp cloth and a little mild soap and let everything air-dry well. That way the wood stays nice and the colours stay fresh. Clean a pacifier chain regularly, as your baby loves to put it in their mouth.

More for on the go and for play

Heading out? Under out with the baby you will find everything for a day out, such as nappy bags, and under on the go everything for walks and travel. For home there are rattles, teethers and teething toys for when the first teeth come, soft cuddly toys and baby gym toys to hang from a play arch.

Tips for choosing

• Combine: choose a pacifier chain and a pram chain with the same animal, such as the elephant, for a fun set.
• Get two: one pacifier chain for home and one in the nappy bag, so you always have one at hand.
• Go natural: like a calm look? Then the ladybird of untreated wood is a great fit.
