We select the arc on the stroller
From the first days of life, the infant studies the world around him, so caring parents try to help him with this by purchasing various toys and accessories. First of all, they buy cots and strollers, which can be equipped with additional elements, such as arcs or mobiles. These accessories help in the development of the baby and provide an opportunity to diversify the world around with bright colors.
Special features
The arc is a special device that holds various toys and rattles. It can be mounted not only on a pram, but also on a cot or car seat. The number of installed toys can vary in a large range starting from two pieces. In addition, some models are equipped with mirrors, lights, or music.
Experts recommend to set the arc when the child is one month old, but the most appropriate period is from two to six months. At this time, the baby learns to distinguish colors and shapes.
Many advise to acquire toys of various colors and geometric shapes. Not bad, if they look like animals or have outlines of the face - lips, eyes, nose.
This accessory will help to entertain or calm the child while walking. All toys and elements of the arc are made of various materials, which contributes to the development of fine motor skills in infants. In addition, in the toys attached to the arc, many manufacturers often use tweeters, rattles and rustling elements. They help develop hearing, tactile and visual sensations.
Such items may be bundled with an accessory, and if not, they can be purchased separately. It is very important that the toys are not only colorful, but also bright enough.
When choosing the appropriate accessories, it is necessary to take into account the fact that babies in the first month of life can see a fuzzy picture in black and white. Therefore, it is recommended to install arcs or mobiles when the child is 1.5-2 months old. First of all, the baby begins to distinguish between yellow and red color, so the toys of these tones will like the child more than others.
After a while, he will learn to distinguish between blue and green. Based on this, it is better for children up to two months to buy toys of these particular colors and fasten them as the child grows up. And if the baby is no longer interested in toys, you can replace them, causing his curiosity with new figures and colors. For better development of the newborn, it is better to buy toys of various shapes - triangular, cubic, spherical or cylindrical.
Depending on the model of the arc, it can be removable and stationary, therefore, when purchasing an accessory, this important factor should be taken into account. Naturally, the first option will cost more, but it is much more practical. In addition, removable toys can really like the baby. In this case, they can be removed and used separately from the arc, so that the child can have a closer look at the object of interest.
Useful tips and tricks from experts
