The stroller is one of the main elements of the dowry for the baby, since from the very birth he will need to spend a sufficient amount of time in the fresh air. Despite the fact that slings and other similar devices give the mother more freedom of action, in the stroller the child is provided with a more restful and healthy sleep during walks.
The choice of the first stroller for the baby must be approached with all responsibility in order to provide the newborn with comfort and convenience. There are many opponents of buying a dowry for a baby before he is born. Their main argument is that this is considered a bad omen and can negatively affect the life or health of the baby. Think about whether you are ready to buy a stroller and other things your child needs the first time after discharge. Surely you have many other urgent things to do.
In this situation, a superstitious person should choose a certain model of the stroller in advance and agree to be brought in in the first days after the birth of the child. If you do not believe in omens and, moreover, think that there is nothing wrong with buying a stroller that has been in use for some time, take care of the issue of choice in advance, regularly looking through the ads for sale. Carrycots, which act as the first transport for the baby, are not used for so long, and in most cases they remain in excellent condition. Buying a high-quality carrycot from a well-known world manufacturer "from hand" will help you save up to half the cost of a new stroller.
At the age of 6-8 months, when the baby has already learned to sit on his own, you can purchase a stroller to provide the child with the opportunity to view the world around him. If necessary, the back of the stroller can be easily brought to a position close to horizontal. The stroller can also be used from birth if the baby was born in the spring-summer period or the temperature conditions allow it to be used all year round. In this case, to ensure the maximum horizontal position, a firm mattress is placed under the child's back. But it must be borne in mind that for the fragile spine of a newborn, the safest option is still a cradle stroller.
If you are planning a joint vacation with a child who has already turned 1, 5 years old, you can purchase a cane stroller, which is a lightweight version of a stroller. Lightweight and compact, they are indispensable for long trips or shopping trips. You can do without a cane if the existing stroller is of the lightweight spring-summer type, and its weight is completely satisfactory to you.
