When to Switch from a Pram to a Stroller? Find out how not to miss the right moment!

A child grows day by day and is becoming more and more active in exploring the world. You see so many interesting things, especially on walks! People, cars, trees in the park, the wind blowing... You have to see, touch, and feel everything. It's no wonder that a few-month-old baby no longer wants to lie flat and is loudly expressing his dissatisfaction. After all, what's so interesting about constantly looking at the sky and the treetops?? Not much is going on there. At a certain stage of development, it becomes necessary to move the little one into a stroller. How to Recognize the Right Moment?

Look, Mom, I'm sitting up now. At what age is a stroller useful for a child??

The carrycots in many strollers are large enough that a toddler could ride in them until they turn one. However, quite a few children, right after they start sitting up (that is, around 6.-7. months of age), wants to observe their surroundings, and lying down is no longer enough for them. At the same time, they're too small to use with the popular umbrella strollers. Manufacturers of children's vehicles rose to the challenge by designing a stroller with an adjustable backrest, with seat belts and a comfortable footrest, where infants can travel comfortably. One example is, for instance, Cybex stroller or Joie.

The second issue is safety in the gondola. When the baby is just lying down, there's no need to worry, but as soon as they start grabbing the sides of the stroller and do pull-ups; there is a risk of falling. If your infant car seat does not come with factory-installed safety belts, don't wait to replace it for a walk. Your little one can freely explore the world in it, and you'll feel much more at ease.

I get my height from my dad. What to Do When Your Little One Outgrows the Carrycot Too Quickly?

Children of very tall parents don't have it easy. Sometimes, even a three- or four-month-old baby no longer fit in a deep stroller, even though, according to the manufacturer's specifications, it should still have plenty of life left in it. How to handle a situation like this? First, find out whether the company in question sells larger-sized gondolas. If this method doesn't work, you can buy a stroller designed for younger children, in which the child will ride with the backrest folded flat. An excellent solution used by companies that manufacture strollers is the 2-in-1 set, which consists of a carrycot and a stroller mounted on a single frame. They are available at our 3 KIWI store. Thanks to them, you don't have to worry about buying a stroller—it'll be waiting at home for you even before your baby is born.
