About buying strollers, future parents usually think in advance, choosing a model and being interested in reviews. But such small things, like, for example, a mattress in a wheelchair, they prefer to postpone "for later". And in vain! Even before the birth of a child, it is desirable, if not to buy everything, then at least make a list of future purchases, from the crib and ending with the rattle. With such a list it will be easier for you to understand the many things that are necessary for a newborn.
In this article, we will consider the important issue of wheelchairs, or rather - about children's mattresses for them. Are they needed or not, what are the differences, which ones are better and which mattress to choose? Let's find out about it!
Why do we need a mattress in the stroller?
Many parents care about the question of whether a mattress is needed in a wheelchair. In principle, you can do without it by replacing the mattress with improvised tools - diapers, blankets, rugs, etc. But if you want to properly equip the stroller, it is better to choose a good quality mattress that will bring and benefit, and comfort.
For newborns, a mattress in a stroller or in a cradle should be selected depending on the model of the child's vehicle. After all, they differ in length and width. It should be noted that many wheelchairs already have mattresses in their complete set. Therefore, first it is better to purchase the wheelchair itself, and already in accordance with its size, pick up a mattress. This accessory is needed at least to make your baby comfortable and gently to lie in the stroller.
As for the mattress in the stroller, it is also necessary to keep it clean. Which is quite difficult, considering that the children like to chew the crumbling pastry, poslyunyvat sides, drizzle compote. All this is not the best way to affect the appearance of the stroller. Of course, it can be washed, but it is much more convenient to buy a removable mattress in the wheelchair, which can be unfastened, washed and dried at any time. In addition, it should be borne in mind that in the cold winter, the mattress is another layer of warm tissue between the child and the stroller.
Which mattress to choose?
First of all, it is necessary to determine the filler. Mattresses in a stroller, as in a crib, are coconut , filled with buckwheat husks or pressed flax. There is no particular difference between fillers for the convenience of the child. The main thing is that the mattress should be made of natural, non-toxic materials (this is especially important for children susceptible to allergies). In hot summer time, the covering of the bottom of any cradle "hovers", even covered with a cotton or fleece diaper. And lying on a high-quality mattress, your child will not sweat, touching the skin with the artificial skin of the stroller.
Mattresses in the stroller are normal and orthopedic. If the first is simply a comfortable soft covering, the latter maintain the correct position of the child's body and promote the normal development of his spine and the entire locomotor
Also an important nuance is the presence in the set of a removable cover (mattress pad) and a baby pillow. With such a cover you will have to less often wash the mattress itself, and the pillow will come in handy to the child when he grows up a little. It can be used not only for the stroller, but for the crib, with the usual bed.
