Envelopes in the stroller: what are and how to choose the right option?

A child born in the warm season needs to buy diapers, sliders, scratches, light caps and socks. All this is enough to ensure the baby a comfortable temperature. But if the addition to the family is expected in the winter months, then more serious preparation will be needed. In addition to standard items of clothing, you need to purchase insulated clothing.

In the last century, the problem of warming babies was solved with the help of a cotton or woolen blanket, in which the child was wrapped. The modern world is replete with a variety of warm envelopes with different composition, design and price.

The word "envelope" means simple clothes for a baby to walk in cool weather. Pattern sleeping bag is quite simple and is a regular rectangle with the addition of various accessories. The envelope differs from a blanket in that it consists of three layers: a lining, a base and a filler. All materials are hypoallergenic, which is especially important for the fragile organism.

Sophisticated envelope models can be complemented with sleeves and a hood. Embroidery, ribbons or ruches are most often used as decoration. Buttons, zippers, velcro and shoelaces are used for convenient use of the product.

A specific model is intended for use at a specific temperature. From what climate is planned to use the winter envelope, depends on its content.

Winter envelopes are an essential element for a stroller. Careful wrapping of the baby will have a beneficial effect on his health and prevent possible hypothermia. The structure of the filler and the windproof skin will reliably protect the child from the effects of rain, frost and wind.

There are several types of warmed envelopes in the stroller, differing in tailoring and functionality.

• Blanket cover - The best option for a newborn baby. Its convenience lies in the fact that at home it may well be used as a regular blanket.

• Transformer - has many variations for reincarnation. For example, it can turn from a bag into pants, and can increase in length. Some models allow you to remove the insulated lining.

• Bag - allows the baby to be comfortable inside, keeping warm. In this case, the child can move freely. Envelope-bag can be purchased for both winter and autumn. The only thing that they will have different types of insulation.

• Envelope with sleeves - designed for children older than three months. It is perfect for walking in the winter season, and in the offseason. Usually such models consist of a special water-repellent coating and a filler that prevent the child from freezing.

• With orthopedic bottom - allows from infancy to form the correct posture. The bottom of the product consists of an orthopedic mattress that can be removed if necessary. Orthopedic models are often sold complete with a sidecar.

• Demi-season - saves the child's body temperature and protects the interior of the product from moisture. This is ideal for walking in the spring and autumn, when the weather is very unpredictable.

Any children's products should be made from natural materials that will not cause an allergic reaction in an infant. Gentle skin of the newborn should be in contact with hypoallergenic materials with high safety. Currently, there are synthetic fabrics that meet these requirements.

Hard bottom products are often made from polycarbonate, which is environmentally friendly. This material has established itself as a durable, frost-resistant and wear-resistant raw materials.

The cover of a winter envelope in a carriage can be made from nylon, polyester, velveteen and cotton.

• Nylon products They are distinguished by unpretentiousness, dimensional stability and availability, but polyester is able to repel moisture and various contaminants.

• Velvet envelopes even though they look attractive, they are difficult to clean and wash. The velveteen nap wears off over time, and the color fades.

• Perfectly proved itself cotton cloak, which is not only distinguished by its ability to repel water, but also to retain its original shape. Raincoat allows the body to breathe, which is very important for the health and comfort of the baby.

Inside the envelope may consist of a flannel or fur. Fur products are designed to warm the newborn and have a beneficial effect on its immune system. Natural fur has long been assigned health and soothing properties. He got such fame thanks to the lanolin contained in it, which produces a healing effect, especially on allergy sufferers.

As a filler for children's bags can be used sintepon, wool, down and so on. To ensure safety, down and micro down before getting inside the product are thoroughly cleaned and packed in special bags. Thus, no particles of fluff penetrate through the protective fabric.

The size of the baby envelope depends on the age of the child. The classic version is designed for babies from birth to one year. Its length does not exceed 80-90 cm. Such a model can be further used as a sleeping bag, bedding in a sled or play mat.

In addition to the basic requirements that are standard for children's insulated envelopes, it is often possible to meet models with additional elements. For example, some products provide special seat belts to make it convenient to fix in the stroller. According to European standards, children's sleeping bags in the stroller must be equipped with clasps located on both sides, and holes for belts.

To facilitate the lives of parents, many manufacturers produce models with a special system of fasteners, consisting of several levels. This allows you to quickly unzip the envelope, without disturbing the rest of the baby.

Some envelopes have a removable hood and fur trim. You can find a variant with pockets in which it is convenient to place paper napkins or pacifier. But the presence of locks on the sleeves allow you to touch the hands of a child to assess its temperature.

When choosing an envelope in a stroller, you must first pay attention to the manufacturer. It is best to give preference to proven brands that have proven themselves well. For example, Finnish brands for the production of children's winter clothes are highly praised.

Many seamstresses specialize in tailoring for newborns. Buying goods from them allows you to independently control the process of creating things and offer your own ideas.In addition, the winter envelope to order will consist only of those materials that the customer chooses, and will have a unique design.

One more important selection criterion is insulation. Winter envelope should consist of natural sheepskin, which will warm the child, even in cold weather. If the product is purchased in warm areas, then it is better to buy an autumn-spring envelope filled with a light holofiber.

Of course, it is very important when buying carefully check the products for marriage. A quality envelope should not be sticking with threads, sticking locks, and stitches missing. Its inner surface should be perfectly flat so as not to cause discomfort to the baby.

Any purchase should please, and therefore it is very important to choose a product of such a design you like. But you need to focus on the price, which should be suitable for the buyer. If the envelope is intended for installation in the stroller, then it must necessarily have holes for the seat belts. Universal models are equipped with high-quality zippers and ribbons for fixation in a wheelchair.
