Where should I put my Mamava pod?

• Make convenience to breastfeeding parents your top priority.
  We recommend placing your pod near a bathroom for easy access to a sink or changing table. Plus, displaying your Mamava near other amenities demonstrates your support for breastfeeding. 
• Make sure the pod fits the space and that you have ample ceiling clearance for assembly.

The Original requires 8’6” of ceiling clearance. 

The XL requires 8’4” of ceiling clearance. 

The Flex and Solo pods require  7'9" ceiling clearance.  

The Slide requires 8’ of ceiling clearance.

• Ensure user privacy.
  If your pod has a perforated roof (XL/Original V4/V5, Solo V1.1), avoid placing it in a stairwell, directly underneath security cameras, or anywhere with that has an overhead view.
• Place the pod within a few feet of a standard outlet.
  The Mamava pod comes with a GFCI-protected electrical cord that plugs into a standard 15A 120V receptacle. (The XL requires a 20A 120V receptacle.) The pod draws about 6.5 amps of power. Be sure the cord does not span any walkways.
• Consider temperature.
  Vent fans help to move air, but do not heat or cool the pod. Place your pod in an area that’s serviced by HV/AC so it’s comfortable.
• Ensure cellular service or WiFi.
  Breastfeeding parents need cell service or WiFi to use the Mamava app on tech-enabled pods. (Does not apply to the Solo Base or Slide models.)
• Find a flat surface.
  Place your Mamava on a flat, consistent surface. Not advisable: grouted tiles, brick, or sloped floors. Low-pile carpets are OK.
• Assemble the pod as close as possible to the final location site.
  Once assembled, XL, Original, Flex, Solo V2, Solo V2.1, and Solo V2.2 can move on built-in caster wheels, but consider this furnishing as you  would a refrigerator—you don’t want to scoot it too far or up sloped surfaces. The Slide can move short distances on glide feet.
• Take care when moving your Mamava pallet.
  
  1. If your team is assembling the pod, use a cart or dolly to move the pallet to the assembly spot. If you’ve selected professional installation, you’re all set!
  2. Don’t stack Mamava pallets on top of each other at any time.
  3. Consider the dimensions of the pallet as you plan your route from delivery site to assembly spot.
• We hope you’ve found the perfect spot to place your Mamava for the long term! If you should ever need to move the pod, refer to this article for instructions.
