The carrycot
The carrycot is the perfect spot for infants to sleep, providing a safe and comfortable environment. It assists infants in developing in a healthy way as lying flat is essential for lung and spinal development and is much more secure than a baby sleeping upright in the pram seat or Moses basket.
Carrycots are also portable and allow you to take your child out without disrupting their rest. This is ideal for when you need to go on an errand or don't want to pay babysitters. A carrycot is an excellent way to save money and time, as you don't have to hire a Nanny.
When selecting a carrycot choose one with a sturdy frame that is designed to be mobile and is able to fold easily. It should also be lightweight to ensure it's easily transported and stored, and have a canopy that provides protection from the sun. To ensure your baby's safety it is recommended to choose an infant carrier made of top-quality fabrics with flame retardant fillings.
A good quality carrycot will come with a comfortable mattress which is typically filled with polyurethane foam to provide maximum support and comfort. You can find designs with adjustable base levels that can accommodate your growing baby and offer maximum comfort.
A high-quality carrycot must also have handles that can be connected or one handle to make moving more convenient. This is especially helpful if there are multiple family members who use the stroller.
Lastly, look for an infant carrier that comes with a footmuff - this is a must-have item for every parent, since it gives your child warmth and protection from the elements. A high-quality footmuff should be padded with a soft and comfortable lining and be constructed of waterproof fabrics to keep your baby warm. The best footmuffs are compatible with your carrycot and come with a 5-point safety harness.
The seat unit
The seat unit is component of a 2-in-1 travel system that transforms from a carrycot into an infant pushchair when your baby is ready to sit. It usually has recline features and two "facing directions" that are either parent-facing or the rear, or world-facing. It is important that it is comfortable for your child and spacious. It should also include a sunshade and a hood.
pushchair 2 in 1 can buy the pushchair and carrycot on their own or as bundles. Bundles let you save time and money as you can start with a carrycot and then change it to an infant pushchair seat once your baby is six months old or able to sit without assistance. The majority of travel systems include car seat adaptors that allow you to connect the infant car seat to the chassis of your pushchair, so your sleeping baby can be easily moved from the car to the pushchair and back.
When purchasing a carrycot ensure that it is a comfortable style with breathable fabrics that keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models have ventilation, sun protection and a soft mattress to aid your baby's sleep.
If you are planning to use your carrycot from birth, select a model that allows for parental facing as this will help you to monitor your child. You can easily monitor your child, soothe them and soothe them in these early months. Many parents find that their child can also connect with them when they're able to see them.
When your baby is ready for the transition from their carrycot to a pushchair seat they will need an incredibly comfortable, supportive seat that has plenty of padding and good lumbar support and a five-point harness. Check if the pushchair comes with a reversible seat liner or footmuff that is incredibly soft and waterproof. It can also be attached during colder weather.
Find a pushchair that has a spacious basket that's accessible from the seat and has plenty of pockets for shopping. Consider the option of a changing bag to keep your things organized when you go out. Most brands offer matching changing bags, or you can choose a tote bag or backpack that fits neatly on the frame of your stroller.
The footmuff
A footmuff is a great way to keep your baby warm and comfortable when they are out and about on cold days. The footmuff wraps around the lower body of your child to keep it warm and toasty. It also has an opening for the strap so that you can secure the baby in their car seat or stroller. Some of the footmuffs are made to fit specific strollers or car seats. This is perfect to keep your baby warm without worrying about them overheating.
Many parents choose to utilize a footmuff instead blankets or layers to avoid overheating their child and is particularly helpful when out on rainy or windy days. Najell Universal Footmuff has a super-plush cushioning that will keep your baby warm and cozy. It's also machine washable, so you can keep it clean. It is compatible with most pushchairs and is a useful accessory.
The Hauck Soft 2in1 Carrycot can also be used as a footmuff by taking off the handles as well as the head and lateral parts, which makes it a practical choice for babies who do not like being covered while out and out and about.
