Display inputAccessoryView in childViewController

I have a parent view controller that acts as a container for a UIPageViewControllerand another UIViewController (called commentsViewController). I want to show the inputAccessoryView inside the commentsViewController however it doesn't seem to be working. I have added the commentsViewController to the parent like so:

commentsViewController = storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("CommentsViewController")! as! CommentsViewController
self.addChildViewController(commentsViewController)
self.view.addSubview(commentsViewController.view)
//...I have set some autolayout constraints here
commentsViewController.didMoveToParentViewController(self)

Then inside CommentsViewController, I have the following:

@IBOutlet var customView: UIView!
override var inputAccessoryView: UIView {
    return customView
}

override func canBecomeFirstResponder() -> Bool {
    return true
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.becomeFirstResponder()
}

Unfortunately this doesn't work and the inputAccessoryView is not displayed... Can anyone see what I'm missing?

Thank you.

Turns out that because I was animating the view, becomeFirstResponder() automatically returned false. After the animation it works fine.
