The carrycot
The carrycot offers a safe, comfortable and secure space for newborns. It assists infants in developing in a healthy manner, since lying flat is vital for the development of the lungs and spine, and it's much safer than a child sleeping upright in the pram seat or Moses basket.
Carrycots are also portable which means you can take your child out and about without disturbing their rest. This is great if you have to complete an appointment and don't have a babysitter or just want to enjoy some fresh air and a nice stroll. This is why carrying a carrycot is an excellent alternative to having to hire a babysitter. It can also save you time and money.
When choosing the right carrycot, choose one that features strong frames that are designed for easy movement and folding with a minimum of effort. It should be light enough that it can be easily stored and transported and should have a canopy to protect your child from sun. Also, it is important to choose a carrycot that is made from high-quality fabrics and fillings which are flame retardant to ensure the safety of your baby.
A quality carrycot should include a comfortable mattress, which is typically filled with polyurethane foam to provide maximum support and comfort. There are models with adjustable base levels that can be able to accommodate your growing baby and ensure the best comfort.
A quality carrycot should also come with handles that can be linked or single to make moving easier. This is especially helpful if there are multiple family members using the stroller.
Finally, you should look for an infant carrier that comes with the footmuff. It is a must-have item for every parent, since it will provide your child with warmth and protection from the elements. A quality footmuff should have a soft and comfortable interior, and must be made of fabrics that are waterproof to keep your baby warm and dry. The most comfortable footmuffs are compatible with your carrycot, and come with five points of safety harness.
The seat unit
The seat is part of a 2-in-1 system that converts a baby's carrycot into a pushchair once your baby is able to sit up. It usually has a recline feature and two "facing directions" - either parent facing or rear-facing, or world-facing. It should be spacious and comfy for your child, include a sunshade, have a canopy and be easy to get on and off the frame of the pushchair.
You can buy a pushchair and carrycot separately or in bundles. Bundles can save you money and time by allowing you to begin with the carrycot, and then switch it to the pushchair seat once your baby is around six months old or can sit up on their own. Most travel systems also come with car seat adaptors enabling you to connect the infant car seat to the chassis of your pushchair, so your sleeping baby can easily be moved from the car to the pushchair, and back.
When buying a carrycot for your baby, choose one that is comfortable and includes air-tight fabrics. This will help keep them cool and comfortable. Some models are even designed with ventilation, sun protection, and a mattress that is soft, so your baby can rest comfortably.
Choose a crib that allows you to look at your child. This will allow you to monitor and soothe your baby. You can easily check on your child, soothe them and soothe them in the early years. Many parents find it also helps in bonding when their little one can see them.
Once your baby is ready for the transition from their carrycot to the pushchair seat, they'll need an incredibly comfortable and supportive seat with plenty of padding, lumbar support and a five-point safety harness. It's also important to know whether the seat has a reversible seat liner or footmuff which is super-soft and showerproof, and can be used during colder weather.
Find a pushchair that has a large basket, which is easy to reach from the main seat. It should also have several pockets to store your shopping. It's also a good idea to consider an extra bag for changing which can help you stay organised on outings. Many brands provide matching changing bags, or you could opt for a bag tote or backpack that is a perfect fit on the frame of your stroller.
The footmuff
A footmuff is a great way to keep your baby warm during cold winter days. The footmuff is wrapped around the lower part of your baby's body to keep it warm and toasty. 2 in 1 pushchair comes with convenient strap openings so that you can still secure them in their stroller or vehicle seat. Many brands offer a variety of footmuffs to choose from, with some designed specifically for car seats or strollers that are ideal for keeping your baby warm and snug without having to worry about them getting too hot.
Many parents choose to utilize a footmuff instead blankets or layers to prevent their child from becoming too hot which is especially useful in the rain or on windy days. The Najell Universal Footmuff is a excellent choice for this, with a super-plush padding that keeps your baby comfortable and warm. It is also machine washable so you can keep it clean.
