Young mothers face a lot of questions: how to feed, how to dress, how to care for a baby. And walks on the street cause fear: our streets and climate are not very suitable for comfortable and long walks. But a lot depends on which stroller you have chosen. Indeed, for each stage of growing up, a new or adapted "transport" is needed, in which the baby will be comfortable and safe.
Instructions
Step 1
For the first walks of the newborn, purchase a carrycot stroller. It will be comfortable for the baby to lie in the cradle, it will not be blown out, from above it can be closed with a cover and a mosquito net. When choosing a stroller, pay attention to the chassis - what material it is made of, whether it is strong, does not creak. For cradles, there is another important selection criterion. The newborn should be facing you. You should always see whether it is comfortable for him, whether his face is covered with a blanket, whether he has burp, etc. It is very difficult to track such moments through the window in the hood of the stroller.
Step 2
Pay the most attention to the wheels. If the baby is born in the spring and in the fall you transplant him into a stroller, the size of the wheels no longer matters. But for children who appear closer to winter, it is better to find a stroller with large, wide wheels, better with inflatable ones. On such a stroller you will not get stuck in snowdrifts.
Step 3
If you buy a two-in-one stroller - a cradle and a stroller in which a child will ride up to three years old, choose models only with large wheels. Otherwise, you will have to buy another stroller in the winter.
Step 4
Before placing the baby in the carrycot, place a special mattress in the stroller (may be included) and a diaper. But a pillow for a baby, like in a crib, is not needed. In winter, put a fur envelope in the stroller first.
Step 5
Learn to rock your baby properly. In no case shake the stroller - babies have not yet developed the vestibular apparatus, such rolling has a negative effect on it. It is better to roll the stroller back and forth with rhythmic, but not abrupt movements.
Step 6
Transplant the grown child into the walking block. He is already interested in looking at the world, and the back of the stroller allows you to adjust the tilt. Therefore, you can put your baby to sleep at any time. A seat belt is provided in strollers. Make it a rule to always fasten your child. Even if it seems to you that the baby is still not capable of anything, you will not notice how he, sharply stretching forward, can fall out. Never carry a stroller with a child standing in it.
Step 7
For travel, choose a lightweight, foldable stroller. These strollers fold with one click, are lightweight, easily fit into the trunk of a car and can be taken on board an aircraft. And most importantly, in such a stroller you can easily go to the supermarket and even to the public transport salon. There are cane strollers that do not have a front bumper, which means they are not suitable for children who do not yet know how to sit on their own. These strollers have very small wheels, which makes them comfortable only in the warm season.
