The first outings with your baby are very important, and are you looking for the essentials to make them unique? Let's see what you need to ensure the necessary safety for your baby, as well as maximum comfort for you!

Port bebe for the first outings

And yes, the port bebe is one of the baby's first "means of transportation." You can transport your baby from the maternity hospital to home and from home to the grandparents or anywhere else you wish, during the first months.

To make it useful for your first walks as well, choose a 2-in-1 stroller or 3-in-1 stroller that can also be converted into a carrycot. This option allows you to buy just one product, which may come with a carrycot or the stroller seat may be convertible into a carrycot.

Carrier to become... one

It’s no coincidence that kangaroos have a pouch to carry their young. It’s an easy way for the first few months, when your baby is still small and weighs only a few kilos. Whether you want to go for a walk or do some chores around the house and can’t leave them alone (or rather, can’t let them leave you alone), the baby carrier is the ideal solution.

• Choose a classic baby carrier, structured with straps. Such a carrier offers better support, both for the parent (for the lower back and back) and for the child, who sits in a special support. It is ideal for longer use, provides easy adjustment and use by the parent, and can be adjusted according to the baby’s age.
• On the other hand, a wrap-style carrier is more comfortable and softer for the baby. It is a large piece of fabric—usually made of cotton, linen, or bamboo—which can be wrapped and adjusted around the parent’s body so that it hugs and supports the baby. It is a safe choice, as long as it is positioned correctly, and it is quite adaptable.

Stroller for endless walks

The stroller is the number one must have for your walks! You need to look into it carefully before making a purchase, as you will use it a lot during the first years of your little one's life. It is the best investment you can make and trust me, you won't regret it! 

• Choose a umbrella stroller, which can be folded and carried very easily, so you can take it with you anywhere, even on trips. 
• However, a classic stroller has a sturdier build, can be folded, and usually offers more features. For example, adjustable strollers with facing the parent orientation for the first months, as well as the option to reverse the street-facing orientation for when the child can sit and look forward. 
• Also, a stroller with canopy and footmuff will keep your baby protected from both the excessive sun and heat in summer, as well as the cold and rain in winter.

Car seat for maximum safety

Since everyday life is now very demanding and you will often need to travel by car with your baby, you need a car seat that offers the necessary safety for the child, so that you can also feel at ease. 

• When choosing a seat, you should initially take into account the age and weight of the child. 
• Also, if your car has the special metal anchors on the rear seats, look for ISOfix car seats, which offer greater safety.
• Next, important features to pay attention to are the orientation - that is, whether the seat will face forward or rearward, whether it will have rotating capability for easier installation and access to the child, as well as additional safety features such as side-impact protection.
• Finally, it is important to pay attention to a seat's ADAC rating. Indicatively, the more criteria a car seat meets in terms of safety, ergonomics, functionality and the presence of harmful substances, the more likely it is to be classified as a seat with a Very Good (++) rating.

Tricycle for when they grow up

Of course, as the child develops, they will be able to use their own means of transportation. And what better than a tricycle? You can find options for babies from 6 months old, when they are able to sit up, up to 7-8 years old for their later rides. You can choose a bike with parent handle, so that you can control it and supervise the child at all times. If you choose a convertible bike, you will be able to remove the extra accessories, such as the handle, so that it is transformed into a classic tricycle with handlebars and pedals. This will help the child enter the world of cycling and develop new skills, learning to pedal.

Choose the ideal product for your baby, according to their age and needs, and enjoy your outings!!
