What toys and rattles on the stroller to choose?

If parents want their child to develop as quickly as possible, they should contribute to this with all their might, therefore in no case should not refuse to buy a wide variety of toys, since many of them have very specific educational functions.

The benefits of toys are even for newborns - although they still cannot play with them, but they can see and hear them, training to concentrate attention, determine the distance to objects and focus on sound. For this reason, literally from birth should use toys, suspended not only on the crib, but also on the stroller. The choice of rattles for strollers at the same time has its own specifics, because each version should be considered separately.

The simplest version of the toy for the stroller is the so-called suspension. Outwardly, this solution looks like an ordinary toy, equipped with a special clothespin or ring, so that it can be attached to the design of children's transport.

Such a toy can be either a rattle or a soundless variety, but important characteristics are the manufacture of soft or non-traumatic material and the obligatory bright colors.

Hundreds of companies around the world produce such products, including “unnamed” Chinese brands, and the Israeli company Tiny Love is considered the absolute sales leader in the world, offering a decent selection of models made mostly in the form of cute little animals.

However, mom is able to do such a thing with her own hands. On the Internet there are dozens of schemes of how to sew a cute little toy, and as a material you can use felt, which has a pleasant texture and is made from natural raw materials.

If you want to make a rattle, you can use loose cereals as a filler; for toys without sound effects, you can also use natural wool or scraps of natural fabric as such.

As a rule, pendants are mounted at a distance of about 30-40 cm from the face of the child. Closer to fix them can not, because the baby must see the thing in focus, otherwise - possible violations of view. A more significant distance is also not welcome, because one of the tasks of the product is to impart to the child the first concept of tactile sensations, that is, the baby should be able to reach the rattle.

It’s good if the baby carriage already provides for the presence of an arc in front of the child, where you could hang various toys, but if it doesn’t exist, it also doesn't matter: you can buy a special arc for a carriage designed specifically for toys. The advantages of such a decision - the mass:

• such an arc is not a fixed part of the stroller, because it can be removed at any time for washing or cleaning;
• the product even without attached toys looks bright and attractive, raising the mood of the baby and contributing to increased interest in the surrounding world;
• since the arc is designed specifically for hanging toys, rattles of completely different models can be attached to it;
• As a rule, the design allows bending and user-selectable shapes, so you can precisely adjust the correct distance to the child's eyes, regardless of the model of the stroller;
• Many manufacturers allow you to buy both a separate arc and a whole set with a large number of different hanging toys for it, which allows you not to waste time and effort on the selection of individual elements and significantly saves money.

In the presence of a large number of different toys, mom has the opportunity to periodically change them, sending the individual to the laundry or simply adjusting to a particular situation. Each time such stretching will look in a new way and will definitely not get tired of the baby, constantly attracting his attention.

The presence of a built-in front arc of the stroller allows you to attach any children's toys to it without unnecessary problems, but this does not mean that they must hang down - they can have a fixed position, representing more of a decoration than a hanging toy.

Due to the fact that such a toy does not swing during the ride and is unlikely to fall on the baby, manufacturers get freedom of action in regard to the size of the product. As a rule, they actively use this, preferring to produce whole panels that can combine both beautiful trinkets in the form of a flower or the sun, as well as various sources of noise or simple melodies decorated in one form or another.

Thanks to this design, the stroller turns into an imitation of the control cabin by some more complex transport.

One of the most striking solutions for baby strollers is the invoice steering wheel, attached to the bumper. Of course, the kid will not be able to manage his transport with his help, and it is unlikely at that age he will show a proper understanding of what the device is in front of him and how to use it correctly, however, the developers do not pursue such a goal.

The form of the steering wheel is only a beautiful stylization, whereas in fact it means a rather complex device with a variety of functions, many of which are directly related to sound. The most obvious function of the steering wheel is to play the horn sound when you press the large center button, however, this horn sounds, of course, much nicer and softer than that of a real car.

In addition, many buttons (and sometimes even the side mirrors), when pressed, lose pleasant and funny melodies, raising the mood of the child and showing him the relationship between the impact on the subject and the appearance of sound.

Some buttons are responsible for bright multi-colored illumination, and in some models to turn on the backlight you need to turn the ignition key, although this task seems more feasible for parents.

Baby trinkets on the stroller, capable of making different sounds, are not limited to classic rattles and driving. Modern manufacturers offer the consumer a choice of numerous modifications of items that could give the kid an idea of ​​the sound.

A somewhat premature solution would be to use a toy in the form of a piano keyboard, however, such is not only produced, but also enjoys the great interest of the little ones, who are already in their infancy trying to "play" on it.

Alternatively, you can select a toy in the form of a stationary phone, which is equipped with buttons that emit individual notes, whole melodies or even sounds characteristic of certain animals.

In no case will such a gift be idle, since children will definitely enjoy the opportunity to control the playback of sounds themselves. In this case, parents should take care of a substantial stock of batteries, which should always be on handbecause the use of the toy will be almost continuous, and if the sounds suddenly stop, the baby will be very upset that your favorite phone or keyboard suddenly stopped working.

In order to make the right choice, you must follow simple tips.

• There is no specific age limit for using hanging toys for strollers. You can use different pendants and rattles from birth, but the upper limit is determined by the degree of interest of the baby. Some people, when they reach the year, prefer to try to play with real toys, someone may still be interested in hanging ones.
• No need to spare money on toys for the baby - they should be quite a lot. At the same time it is necessary to monitor the diversity of the range, because monotonous entertainment bother much faster. It is necessary to choose products of different colors, made of different materials, and if it is a rattle, then also with different sound.
• It should purchase only those products that are made of safe materials. The priority is given to natural raw materials, if the product is made of plastic, it is desirable that the seller be able to show a certificate of quality. The latter reason usually puts an end to purchases in the markets - only large shopping centers, which guarantee security, usually deal with certification. It is important to pay attention to the absence of sharp edges and any defects.
