I can finally have my hands free at 5pm. Bub's content, I'm sane. That's the whole package.
literally drinking a hot coffee right now while betty does the heavy lifting. my little one loves the rhythmic tap way more than those vibrating mats. absolute lifesaver for the 5pm fussiness.
Was a bit skeptical about the price at first but my god my arm was ready to fall off from the constant patting. The phantom patting is real haha!! Put Benny next to the bouncer and it gives me just enough time to actually eat lunch with two hands. love that it’s a local aussie brand too xx
absolute game changer for the witching hour. my son gets so clingy around 6pm but he happily sits in his bouncer with the huggu banana tapping away. the remote control is the best part i can change the speed from the couch without having to awkwardly hover over him
So glad I found a safe option that isn't meant to be left unsupervised in a cot. We use Betty on the playmat for supervised settling while I get dinner sorted. 10/10 from a very tired twin mum
bought betty for my wife because her wrist was killing her from the daily settling routine. works like a charm next to the bouncer. highly recommend to any parents currently stuck in the trenches
benny is a vibe haha. super cute design but actually functional. love that the main banana is 5V USB rechargeable, and the remote battery compartment is properly screwed shut so it’s completely safe around the kids. really great quality product.
Lifesaver!! The afternoon witching hour used to break me every single day. Now I just pop her in the bouncer with Huggu and sit right next to her with a hot cuppa. It really does mimic a real hand patting, not just a cheap buzz.
My daughter reacts so much better to this physical mechanical tap than the standard vibration on her swing. It actually feels like a proper hand. Best money we’ve spent this year honestly.
Love the three different rhythms on the remote. Sometimes he needs a quicker pat to calm down when he's overstimulated then I slow it right down once he settles. Brilliant invention, so happy to support a melbourne business.
i never write reviews but this banana deserves it. my 2 month old will only settle with manual patting and this has given my arms a much needed break during floor time. always supervised of course but honestly the best helper in the house.
First-time mum here — the 5pm stretch used to feel like torture. Betty sits with him during floor play now and the pat-pat rhythm actually settles him. Not a miracle, just a really thoughtful product.
Bought Benny for my daughter-in-law's shower and she actually cried opening it. She had the yellow one when Milla was born and swore by it. When she saw they'd relaunched in mint she said "this is the only baby thing I actually wanted."
My partner is EBF so most of the settling falls on her. Benny gives me something to actually contribute — I set the rhythm, put him on the mat with our little guy, and get 10 min of hands-off time. Small thing, big morale boost for our household.
Twins at 4 months and I only have two arms. Having Benny and Betty on their playmat means both are getting the pat-pat while I do literally anything else — feed one, make lunch, breathe. Not magic, but it takes the edge off.
Got Betty as a shower gift and honestly wish I could've packed her in the hospital bag. The first two weeks were brutal — even 10 minutes of the pat-pat while I could shower or eat felt like a lifetime.
We do long drives to both sets of grandparents (90 min each way). Slipping Betty next to her in the seat with the palm on her belly is the difference between a screaming toddler and a happy one. Awake time only obviously — never in the cot.
We tried a Jellycat, a Cuski, a doudou — none of them stuck. Benny stuck. She actually reaches for him now at 5 months. The pat-pat feature is the differentiator — it's active, not passive, and that's what a fussy baby responds to.
I'm not a "baby gear" guy. But Benny is legit. The remote is intuitive (no phone, no app which I love), and it gives our little bloke something to focus on so his mum can eat dinner while it's warm. Worth every dollar.
My little one HATED tummy time. Then we started putting Betty next to her with the pat-pat on. Something about the rhythm keeps her engaged for longer — 15 mins yesterday vs 3 mins before. Small win but I'll take it.
Picking the perfect baby gift shouldn't feel like a research project. Save yourself the endless scrolling, the asking around, the last-minute panic. Whether it's a baby shower, a naming day, or Christmas morning — Huggu's the kind of gift that gets unwrapped first, and remembered longest.
Everything worth knowing before your Huggu arrives.
Note: USB wall adapter not included. Any standard 5V USB adapter (1–2A output) works — same as your phone charger.
Huggu comes with a 5V DC charging cable in the box. Open the hidden zipper in the palm, remove the motor unit, and connect the cable to the motor unit’s charging port. Plug the USB end into any standard 5V USB adapter — the same kind that charges your phone.
A full charge takes about 80 minutes. The red LED lights up while charging and turns off when Huggu is ready to go.
Please note: the USB wall adapter is not included in the box. Any standard 5V, 1–2A adapter works. Do not use fast-charging adapters above 10W.
