Error number 1 – Cover the stroller.On a hot summer day like a baby mesh cover, which is equipped with almost all modern stroller-bassinet or pelenochkoy to protect the crumbs from sunlight and dust. Pediatricians warn that cover the stroller for a walk in the hot is strictly forbidden!
The child deficient thermoregulation, that is, the body's ability to store and retain the temperature is not developed. Therefore, children are very quickly overheat, which can lead to dire consequences - thermal shock, brain edema, convulsions and loss of consciousness.
Doctors strongly recommend that on hot summer days walking with a child under 11 in the morning and in the evening after 17, when solar activity is reduced and at the same time than do not cover the stroller. This will be enough to have a child in the right quantity to produce vitamin D, and will prevent crumbs from overheating.
Error number 2– INTENSIVE motion sickness. When a child cries much, parents are nervous and begin to shake violently stroller. Since the blood supply and the vestibular apparatus of the child at this age are not perfect, too intense motion sickness may lead to loss of consciousness and encephalopathy. The result is that the baby in the future may lag behind their peers in development: later start talking, worse in school. It is therefore important stroller rocking quietly and smoothly, do not shake it or pull.
error №3 – Talisman against the evil eye. Do not place in a wheelchair from the evil eye amulet in the form of pins. She may quietly unbuttoned and cause the child injury: scratch, damage the eyes, and the older baby can even swallow it.
error №4– TOYS from the person of the child. Mobile mobiles and rattles of beads, which are often hung on the carriage must be no closer than 30-40 cm from the eyes of a child. If below, it interferes with vision baby. Infants are very unstable vision, almost all newborn crumbs have physiological strabismus (when the eyes do not look symmetrical). This is normal. But when the child develops vision, objects placed too close can cause sustained strabismus.
error №5 – Improper placement in the car seat. By placing the cradle-seat in the car, be sure to ensure that it is securely fixed against the vehicle. This will protect the baby during a frontal collision. Also make sure that the tilt angle was 30-45 degrees, that is, reclining as infant spine is not yet ready for the seating position.

error №7 – Improperly installed handles. It is better if the stroller handle is placed in such a way that a child under the age of the person sitting to my mother, it calms him down, providing a sense of security. And when the baby celebrates his first birthday, move the lever so that the crumb was sitting with his back to you. At this age, kids do not need a close eye contact with his mother, but much more interesting to consider the world around us. Health to you and your baby!
