In order for your baby to feel comfortable during a walk, you will need to purchase a mattress in a stroller. The fact is that the child often sleeps in her, so he should be comfortable. In addition, a correctly selected product will contribute to the proper development of the skeleton of your baby.
It should be noted that it is not so easy to choose a mattress in a stroller. First of all, remember that you should not choose it in advance. There are such models of strollers with which the mattress is also sold. However, if you are not lucky, then you will have to buy the product separately. In doing so, consider the dimensions of your “vehicle”.
When choosing the presented product, it is necessary to be guided by certain criteria. As already mentioned, the first factor is the size of the mattress. It should not be larger than the bottom of the cradle. Otherwise, it just starts to curl, and the baby will be uncomfortable to lie on an uneven surface. The stroller mattress should be stiff enough so that the spine of the child is properly formed. Naturally, later it will need to be replaced with a softer product, but this can be done already after the baby is one year old.
Now pay attention to what filler is used in this product. The most useless is foam rubber, which is considered the softest and short-lived, as it quickly deforms. The mattress in the stroller for the baby should be of high quality and durable, so you should give preference to coconut fiber or buckwheat. Such products are very durable, hypoallergenic, resistant to wear, safe for the child. The main advantage of such a filler is that it has the necessary rigidity for the proper development of the baby's support system, and can also maintain its original shape for a long time.
You can also use products filled with latex, wool and linen. Moreover, these materials can be combined. Baby mattresses in a stroller can have a different color and pattern. However, they should all be equipped with covers that can be easily removed and washed. Also try not to neglect your right to view quality certificates. You should know that the product is factory-made and does not contain materials harmful to the health of the child. Do not buy such an accessory in the market, it is better to choose a specialized store.
During the selection, also carefully inspect the mattress. If it has visible defects, ask to replace it with another. Recently popular is considered a mattress insert in the stroller. Its advantage is that it is ergonomic, has a small thickness. Thanks to these parameters, it can be easily used in strollers, carrycots. Another advantage of this product are the slots for seat belts. Thanks to this, you will be sure that your baby is securely locked in the stroller and will not fall out of it. It can also be easily washed in an automatic machine.
