Travel Baby

If you start baby travel slowly and plan wisely, both you and baby will enjoy first-class comfort. Begin with baby steps and you’ll find that soon you and your little one will be able to walk, ride, or fly in the fast lane.

Day Trips

Introduce baby to travel starting with a few day-trips to a local relative or friend. Basic equipment will be a packed diaper bag, a stroller or pram (if you’ll spend some time outdoors), and a car seat. Most modern car seats easily detach and convert into a baby carrier.

Be sure to pack your diaper bag with a diaper for each two hours you intend to be away from home. Pack 2 nipples for each bottle you pack, two to three receiving blankets, and an extra change of clothing for baby and an extra shirt for you. Cut down on diaper bag weight and keep things easy to find by using Ziploc bags to pack extras like nipples, wipes, and pacifiers. Pack one large, empty Ziploc for soiled items. Read more…

Every year thousands of babies get hurt in accidents related to strollers. When new parents choose a stroller to buy they consider nice look and modern appearance of the stroller among other things. They often overlook a very important consideration – safety.

Last month I met my neighbor Jody, and she told me a terrible story of what happened with her little 6 month old baby boy. The end of story was good, but they had a very hard time before doctors said that their baby was going to be fine. What happened is that their brand new, stylish, easy to maneuver and handle lightweight travel stroller just got overturned by their 3 years old daughter. She was just trying to help… The baby was rushed to the Emergency Room, and luckily ended up with just two stitches.

A nurse told to Jody that the most important thing about any strollers is its safety, stability in particular. She gave Jody a good advice on baby safety topics. This is what we think is important with regard to different types of strollers: from umbrella strollers, travel strollers, jogging strollers, prams etc.:

-       Stroller should be safe. Always choose a carriage or stroller that has wide and stable base to prevent tipping.
-       Always choose five point harnesses rather then three.
-       Make sure that back recliner has lock that keeps its position in place to prevent baby falling backwards.
-       Buy preferably strollers with dual lock brake system.
-       Check for JPMA (Juvenile Products Manufacture Association) Certification Seal on www.jpma.org.
-       Make sure it is easily, quickly open and close.
-       Check if stroller is roomy enough to accommodate your growing infant. Read more…

When you are going out with your baby and if you are not sure that what the weather has kept for you, it’s always better to be ready with an all-weather kit for your travel stroller. Usually the travel stroller will have a crest over the top for protection of baby from wind and sun, and from this you can attach a plastic air- vended cover over the stroller. Since these are well fixed, they will protect your baby and stroller from wind, rain, sleet and snow.

It seems to be hulking with the all-weather accessories on your travel stroller, but it will save your baby from getting wet and helps them risking out from getting chills and sickness.
