From the carrycot to the stroller, what changes does our baby live?

Whether you are pregnant and start preparing all the accessories you will need for the arrival of your baby, as if you just gave birth (if so, congratulations!), Surely one of your doubts is knowing when will you have to change your baby from the carrycot to the stroller. Although the truth is that we cannot talk about ages exactly because, as we always say, every baby is a world, we can explain some changes that indicate that the time has come and how your baby will experience them.

Signs that we must make the change

There are two unequivocal signs that indicate that the time has come to move from the carrycot to the chair: one of them is the size of your baby. There are babies who with three months barely fit in the carrycot while others can spend as much as six months in it.

The change could accelerate if, in addition, you are in the hottest seasons of the year. But in most cases, the baby himself will notify you with behaviors such as holding the head better or showing more strength, who no longer wants to walk more lying down and who prefers to be in a reclining chair, to start experimenting with the surrounding environment.

Whatever time you are, with the Trio Love by Chicco, the modular system that contains carrycot, car seat and stroller, in addition to a multitude of accessories included, you will have covered all possible stages from 0 to 3 years.

Long rides with the carrycot

Your baby will spend his first months of life between the crib, if you are at home, your arms, whenever you want, and the carrycot, if you decide to take him for a walk.

Going for a walk every day is recommended because It will help you adapt to temperature changes and develop your senses. It will sharpen the view thanks to the multitude of colors and shapes that you will find along the way, you will develop the hearing thanks to the noises of the street, you will relax thanks to the soft rocking of the stroller and other external agents such as the sun or the breeze, and will pass the Most of the time sleeping.

The carrycot of the Trio Love of Chicco will become your perfect ally to ensure maximum comfort from the first day of life. Your mattress is reclining so that you can start incorporating it little by little no need to dispense with this module sooner than desired. Your baby will be protected inside thanks to the 3-point child restraint system that is installed and whose harnesses are padded to ensure maximum comfort.

Every time you go out with him, you will have to carry with you the large capacity bag that includes the kit since you will always need a changing table (also included with the kit), cleaning wipes, a pair of diapers, a change (or even two), a pair of bibs, an extra blanket ... and much more. Do not forget your daily walk dose Even if the weather is bad. For those days of wind and / or rain, your baby will be protected and fully protected thanks to the complete raincoat that includes the Love Trio.

Baby ready for longer excursions

When your baby is already between two or three months old, your muscular strength will have developed enough so that you can make use of the car seat for your car trips. At this time, and although the carrycot has child restraint systems and a Car kit that allows you to take it by car without removing it, it is recommended that, to travel by car, use the Oasys car seat 0+ which contains the Chicco Love Trio.

This chair, which has been designed to ensure maximum comfort and protection for your baby, contains a fixed base that can be left installed in the car and that gives the chair greater security (remember to always install it in the opposite direction of the running and with the airbag deactivated). If your child weighs less than 6 kg you can put a reducer (included in the kit) that will ensure proper posture in the first months of life. In addition, the head and belt can be adjusted as your baby increases in size.

Keep in mind that he is used to seeing your face from his position in the carrycot, so, whenever you can, try to sit at his bark during the whole trip and caress him, smile at him, sing songs and, in short, to wrap him up so that, as far as possible, he does not miss this new situation.

To know the world!

And finally, it was time to change it from the carrycot to the stroller. For this new stage, in which he spends more time awake and his learning capacity multiplies, you will need a lightweight and sturdy chair to help you make the transition between one and the other as successful as possible.

The first few days you will probably want to keep looking at yourself and with the backrest fully reclined. He will feel more secure and calm if he can be looking at you at all times and you can see if he is enjoying the experience, but as the days go by you will incorporate it.

At that moment you can take the opportunity to talk to him during the whole walk, naming you the things that appear along the way so that you begin to get acquainted with them, develop the sense of attention, feel interest in knowing more and help you in the speech process. You will also be able to observe his reaction to everything around him. That way you will know what he likes, what he has fun, what catches his attention or what scares him of the environment.

Iran going on the months and you will notice that his curiosity goes beyond of seeing your face, then the time will have come to incorporate it and orient it outwards. Keep in mind that when you sit down, and with the chair oriented in the direction of travel, you will have a wider field of vision and more opportunities to improve concentration and senses. In this position you will be more entertaining and can begin to develop the imagination.
