When opting for using cradle for my son, one question that struck my mind was how he will sleep when we are not at home. Since we can’t carry the cradle along us, & can’t expect, cradle to be present, everywhere we go. I guess this may be the concern of most of the mothers. This is the complete solution to this question.
MultiPro Ghodiyu
Ghodiyu
The ‘Ghodiyu’ word originated in Gujarat. It is used from hundreds of years by mothers so that their baby can fall asleep quickly, nicely and get the rest they need while developing proper sleeping habits.
Typically, a Ghodiyu is designed to have a low ‘ centre of gravity ‘ which enables a person to swing the child back and forth. The rocking motion soothes and relaxes the child, and puts them to sleep quickly by replicating the comfort and security of the womb.
The use of Ghodiyu for infants is also helpful in avoiding SID and Colic cases as the rocking motion relaxes the baby. Ghodiyu helps baby’s digestion also.

When folded this Ghodiyu & kept inside the carry bag, the bag length becomes 4 feet. This compact bag is easy to store anywhere within home and even you can carry away in your car but bit inconvenient to carry away in airplanes due to long length of bag.
- Anti Skid Rubber
To prevent the Ghodiyu from slipping, Anti skid Rubber is provided to fit in the four sides of the Ghodiyu.
- Suitability
Though company claims that it is suitable for infants up to 24 months, according to me it defers from kid to kid. Taking into consideration height of my son who is almost 24 months old, he won’t fit into it, comfortably.
So, it all depends on the height & weight of the babies.
