Banjo's a warm soft place to settle. The classic golden-yellow plush banana with a gentle soft-mitt hand that pats your baby in your rhythm — for the witching hour, the school run, the floor play that needs an extra minute. The kind of comfort you wish your arm could keep up with.
Banjo is the original colour — the first one we ever made. He's currently sold out. Benny (mint) and Betty (pink) are open for pre-order with $20 off — first batch ships 8 August 2026.
What makes Huggu different
Pat-Pat Hand3 SpeedsUSB-CPhysical Remote
A soft mitt hand that pats in the same instinctive rhythm a parent's hand already makes — no app, no wifi, no setup while you're juggling a baby.
Three rhythms · One physical remote. Slow for wind-down moments. Steady for natural pat rhythm. Lively for the ramping fussies. Switch in a tap.
Care + supervised use
Designed for the families doing the hard hours. Premium minky-dot fabric, soft to touch.
Care: Hand-wash the outer cover by soaking in cool water with a mild detergent — remove the motor module first. Air-dry only (no tumble dryer). Spot-clean daily with a damp cloth for best hygiene.
For supervised, awake-time cuddles only. Appropriate for children up to and including 36 months of age. Always follow Red Nose Australia safe sleep guidelines.What's in the box
