Which travel cots, baby beds, or toddler mattresses does the Tigerhöhle fit on?

The Tigerhöhle is suitable for all travel cots, baby beds, and toddler mattresses with dimensions of up to 1.45 m x 0.80 m.

Is the Tigerhut safe?

The Tigerhöhle has been developed with special attention to optimal air circulation, both in terms of the materials used and the design. We have taken great care to ensure that the tigerhut allows sufficient air exchange to ensure a safe and comfortable sleeping environment. Thanks to this thoughtful design, you can rest assured that there should be no concerns about the air quality inside the Tigerhut.

What age is the Tigerhöhle recommended for?

The Tigerhut is recommended for children from 6 months of age and can be used with travel cots and baby beds. After transitioning from these sleeping products, the Tigerhut can also be used with toddler beds and inflatable mattresses for children up to 5 years old or as long as they fit in.

Can a baby monitor or camera be used with the Tigerhöhle?

There is a pocket that is accessible from the outside of the Tigerhut and has a clear vinyl interior.

What tips are there for helping my child get used to the Tigerhöhle if they are still unsure?

Set up the Tigerhöhle at home before you travel.

Set up the Tigerhöhle in the living room so your child can explore it.

If possible, let your child sleep in their travel cot and the Tigerhöhle at home before the trip. It is recommended to start the first use at night, as your little one will be more tired then.

If your baby or toddler is initially unsure or feels uncomfortable when the main zipper is fully closed, let them sleep with the zipper open or partially open for the first one or two times. This will allow them to get used to it step by step and later fall asleep relaxed with the zipper closed (Note: For babies under one year old, we recommend opening the ventilation openings after the baby has fallen asleep and leaving the main window at least partially open).

We tested the fabric of the Tigerhöhle

The air permeability of the material used was tested by an accredited testing laboratory according to DIN EN ISO 9237 at a differential pressure of 100Pa. The measured value is 8.5 mm/s.

The material is deliberately breathable. For a blackout tent, controlled air circulation is particularly important in order to:

  • enable continuous air exchange
  • avoid heat buildup
  • support a comfortable sleeping climate

The existing air permeability prevents stale air from accumulating inside the tent. The material allows for constant air movement and thus contributes to good ventilation in the sleeping area.

The above test results refer exclusively to the textile material used. In addition, the blackout tent is structurally equipped with additional ventilation openings to further support air exchange and to further increase sleeping comfort for babies.
