What is moonbuddy?

How moonbuddy helps children calm down through guided, screen-free breathing.

Moonbuddy is a small, tactile breathing coach designed specifically for children. After hearing stories from parents about how their moonbird was 'stolen' by their children and due to the high demand for a simpler version for little ones, we got to work.

Together with children, parents, and breathing coaches, we developed the moonbuddy. We’ve tried to meet the needs of children as much as possible, resulting in a simpler, more playful, and affordable version.

Just like the moonbird, the moonbuddy offers tactile guidance for breathing exercises. Its belly expands and contracts, allowing your child to breathe along calmly.
​

The moonbuddy has four different breathing rhythms. With just one button, you can turn on the device and switch between exercises. After four minutes, it stops automatically, so your child doesn’t go on for too long. Charging is easy with a cable, so no external batteries are needed.
​

The interchangeable sleeves make the moonbuddy extra fun! We currently have two versions: Bibi the bird and Barry the bear, with more characters on the way.

The best part? The moonbuddy is completely app-free, so your child isn’t tied to a smartphone.
