Cocobelt - a car seat carrier that makes everyday life easier
Many women who are already pregnant suffer from back pain. The changes that occur in the body during pregnancy and childbirth—such as ligament relaxation and pelvic remodeling—increase susceptibility to all kinds of strain. After the birth of a baby, there are many new tasks and responsibilities that can contribute to an increase in pain. Every day, you have to pick up your child many times—to move them from the bathtub to the changing table and to the crib, and to place them in a car seat, high chair, or stroller.
We're also no strangers to carrying groceries, taking the shopping cart down the stairs, loading it onto the bus, or putting it in the trunk of the car. It's no wonder that the spine, muscles, and joints can't withstand such strain and respond with back pain in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions—and most often in the sacral region.
How Can We Help Ourselves?? First and foremost, by improving the ergonomics of performing specific tasks. By minimizing the impact of loads, using proper lifting techniques, and utilizing commercially available solutions that make certain tasks easier to perform.
When a little one arrives in our home, carrying them in a car seat becomes a very common practice. The fact that it can be mounted on stroller frames makes this first car seat versatile, and we can use it for a relatively long time. Carrying this heavy carrier with a handle is undoubtedly a strain on a sore spine, and if we do it the wrong way, back, shoulder, and hip pain are guaranteed..
This is where a practical solution—the COCOBELT.
Cocobelt is a special belt designed to help you carry a car seat with a child in it. This solution allows you to sling the seat over your shoulder, which reduces the strain on your forearm and elbow joint. Thanks to this, when using the proper carrying technique, we can avoid the tendency to hold the car seat at an angle at the elbow, as if it were a picnic basket. Plus, we get a free hand—which comes in so handy on a family trip ;-).
What is the appropriate technique being discussed??
Instead of hooking the car seat onto the crook of your elbow, slide your hand under its handle, rotate your forearm, and grasp it with your palm from below. Using the Cocobelt provides additional stabilization. The weight of the car seat does not put strain on the shoulder, hip, or spine. This method distributes the weight of the carrier evenly, making it easier to hold and carry.
All you need to do is adjust the position of your hand and use a belt to protect your shoulder, hips, and spine.
COCOBELT is a safe solution that meets the highest standards. It has earned the most important CE certification, as well as certifications from TÜV Rheinland and Bureau Veritas.
The non-slip pad and adjustable length make the belt comfortable to use. It can be used by people of different heights and worn on either the left or right shoulder. Thanks to its design, the buckle allows for quick and easy attachment to any type of car seat.
Another advantage is its unique appearance. Handcrafted with the highest-quality materials and available in a variety of colors, it’s also a stylish and attractive accessory.
As parents, we do many things together with our children. The Cocobelt will make it easier for us to perform many of our daily activities. It will make it easier and faster to move the car seat a short distance, such as when picking up older siblings from daycare or preschool, or when running errands.
You know what else is cool?? Once you're done using the belt as a car seat support, you can use it to carry a balance bike, for example.
Given its high quality, practicality, wide range of colors, and affordable price, the Cocobelt makes the perfect gift for an expectant mother. So, if you're wondering what gift to bring when you visit, there's only one answer— You’ll find the COCOBELT belt in our store => HERE
