The young mother needs help with transporting the baby. Since strollers are quite bulky and uncomfortable, attachments such as baby slings and kangaroos are now very popular. But many mothers ask themselves questions: which is better to choose a sling or a kangaroo? What will be more comfortable for the baby? And how comfortable will mom be?
Let's weigh the pros and cons. In a kangaroo, the baby's legs dangle and are not completely protected, but in the sling the baby's hips are fixed and the leg is visible only from the knee - this suggests that the sling is more reliable than a kangaroo.
Another plus of the sling is that the weight of the child in the sling is evenly distributed throughout the body and wide leg dilution is the prevention of various diseases of the spine and joints, but in a kangaroo the weight of the baby is distributed to the lower spine, which is not very useful for a child.
Also, when buying a kangaroo, you should pay attention to the fact that the baby is fixed, tightly pressed to the mother's breast and does not dangle with every movement, otherwise the spine receives an extra load and this can lead to undesirable health consequences.
A prerequisite for using a sling is the ability to correctly and conveniently place a child in it. Unlike a kangaroo, which has a fixed and rigid shape, you need to be able to use a sling correctly, so in order to avoid mistakes, you should either read useful articles and video tutorials, or visit consultations and, in practice, learn all the tricks of using a sling with a specialist.
