Advantages of buying a used PAULI & CO cradle
Purchasing a used motorized cradle offers you a number of advantages that take into account both economic and ecological aspects. One of the biggest advantages is undoubtedly the considerable cost savings compared to buying a brand new product. This option is particularly attractive during the child-rearing phase, when many expenses arise. For example, we at PAULI & CO offer you, as new parents, the Second Life program, where refurbished cradles from our range have a 30% discount. Ideal if you want to gain experience with used cradles.
But financial considerations are not the only factor. The sustainability and conservation of resources through the reuse of an existing hammock should not be underestimated. This is an aspect that we are particularly committed to at PAULI & CO. We pay attention to sustainability in many aspects of production and sales.
Furthermore, buying a used cradle gives you the opportunity to purchase older models or brands that may no longer be available on the market. This is particularly interesting for parents who have specific requirements for a cradle or who are hoping for special support from a particular model.
What advantages does the Second Life program from PAULI & CO offer you: 
- You will receive refurbished cradles.
- These models are often 30% cheaper.
- You as parents are making a valuable contribution to protecting the environment.
- The Second Life program from PAULI & CO only offers cleaned cradles that receive a new mattress and new springs.
- The cradles’ frames and motors are in first-class condition.
What you should pay attention to when buying a used PAULI & CO hammock
Before you decide to buy a used hammock, it is crucial to consider a few important aspects to ensure the safety and functionality of the product. First, the condition of the hammock should be thoroughly checked to rule out any possible damage or signs of wear. In particular, safety-relevant elements such as straps, suspensions and connections should be carefully inspected. We check these aspects through our program described above. However, if you decide to buy a hammock with a motor from somewhere else, pay attention to the evaluation criteria mentioned.
Furthermore, cleanliness and hygiene are of the utmost importance. Before using the cradle again, it should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate potential germs or bacteria. A fresh, clean environment is essential for the well-being and health of your newborn. We can also give you this tip when it comes to reusing a cradle you have already bought. If you have already bought a cradle with a motor and frame and have stored it for your second or third child, then clean this cradle before using it again.
It is also advisable to check whether the hammock comes with its original instruction manual and accessories. This will not only ensure that the product is used correctly, but also that all safety features are used.
Another important step is communicating with the seller. Asking about the history of use and the reasons for the sale can provide valuable information. You may be able to get information about any special features or adjustments that have been made. This knowledge is crucial to making an informed purchase decision and choosing the best possible cradle for your baby.
Finally, we would like to give you another important tip. Compare the used hammocks with motors to get the best price-performance offer. We have enclosed a checklist that you can use if you decide to buy a used hammock. Please note that our refurbished hammocks have been tested for safety, functionality and hygiene.

Why a used PAULI & CO hammock is the better option
A used PAULI & CO hammock is undoubtedly the first-class choice. The quality that we offer you as parents clearly exceeds the standards of our competitors. Our hammocks with motor and frame are characterized by a thicker steel tube, which ensures increased stability and safety. In contrast to the usual paintwork on comparable models such as the Tripod SMART, our powder coating is of a much higher quality and therefore more durable.
The mattresses and bags of PAULI & CO cradles have a much better quality of fabric as they are twice as thick, which is crucial not only for durability but also for the baby's comfort. These features are also reflected in the used hammocks.
In addition, certification according to OEKOTEX Standard 100, Class 1 ensures that the hammock is tested and free of harmful chemicals. Technical safety is a top priority at PAULI & CO, which is why all of our products are tested by the DEKRA Institute for Damage Analysis and Material Testing to guarantee the highest safety standards. With a used hammock from PAULI & CO, you are therefore receiving a product that is not only of exceptional quality, but also meets the highest standards in terms of safety and sustainability.
