When to switch from a gondola to a stroller?

The question "when is a stroller suitable for a child" is difficult to answer definitively. The generally accepted rule was that a baby can be transitioned to a stroller after approximately 6 months of age. However, this usually happens when the child learns to sit up on their own, which is a very individual matter. Most parents notice that it is around this time that the child begins to become bored in the bassinet and restless. They become increasingly interested in the outside world and want to observe what's happening around them. They are often unable to lie still and are very active. This is the time to transition to a stroller.

Stroller and baby's weight: When should you move your baby to a stroller?

A good time to transition your baby to a stroller is when they reach a certain weight and height. After a while, the baby simply no longer fits into the pram (or bassinet), which reduces travel comfort. A seated position is more comfortable and, above all, safer. These strollers have a range of safety features, including harnesses that prevent the baby from falling out, even during dynamic body movements.

Until when should you carry your baby in a gondola? The gondola and the seasons.

When the temperature outside begins to rise, keeping your baby in a bassinet can be not only uncomfortable but also very dangerous. Due to strong solar radiation and reduced ventilation, it can even lead to sunstroke and dehydration. Therefore, remember not to cover your baby with blankets or diapers, to replenish their fluids, and to avoid walks between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

How to choose a stroller for a baby?

A good quality stroller can last a child up to 3 years. However, before making a purchase, it's worth considering its specifications. The most important are:

• the type of seat belts used – preferably five-point harnesses covered with soft material. The child should not be able to unfasten them on their own;
• brake and wheel lock - this will prevent the stroller from sliding down slopes;
• The type of wheels depends on where you live. Smaller diameter wheels are best for cities, while larger ones are best for rural and forested areas. A compromise between these two types is a stroller with large wheels in the back and smaller wheels in the front;
• Weight – this is especially important for people who live on higher floors without access to an elevator. Carrying a heavy stroller into the apartment can be a challenge;
• way of handling - strollers may have two side handles or one, larger, horizontal handle, placed along the entire length.

A good and economical solution is to buy a 2-in-1 stroller , combining the advantages of a gondola and a pushchair. To make traveling easier, it's also worth equipping yourself with accessories , including lambswool muffs , spacious bags for mom , toy chains , pendants , and rain covers .
