Don’t children seem to grow incredibly fast?  One day they’re crawling around on the floor, and the next they can reach the cookie jar.  New strollers and seats for every stage of their growth would not only be too expensive, it would be just plain silly. Babies get used to their seats and strollers in the same way they get used to their favourite blanket, and it’s comforting for them to have continuity.  The sensible route to take is getting cost effective products that accompany your baby as she grows up.

Looking for a stroller can be overwhelming because there are so many options out there.  It goes without saying that you want something safe and comfortable, but you also need to take staying power into consideration.  Products like Chicco Skip strollers have lightweight aluminium frames (nice for when you have to carry them up stairs), and they work for your baby from 6 months to about 3 years of age.  Buying something that will last so long is smart not just because it saves you money, but because it eliminates readjustment hassle for new products.

For inside the house, bouncing chairs are great for soothing your baby and freeing up your hands.  There are many variations on the bouncing chair, with lots of music options and different vibration speeds.   Many have adjustable sitting positions, and removable cushions to give your baby more room as she grows.  Look at the line of Chicco bouncing chairs as an example of chairs with a long lifetime.  For long-lasting baby walkers, look at products that have height adjustable frames like the Chicco DJ Baby Walker.

Babywearing is when you carry your baby in a sling against your body.
