Stokke trays: range and tips for choosing

No one doubts that daily bathing of a baby is important. Few people know that in fact the purpose of bathing is not to wash the baby to shine, but to provide him with the safest condition in which he was 9 months old with his mother in the stomach. Therefore, the bath for bathing should meet the needs of the child as much as possible: to be small, comfortable and safe.

Stokke trays break modern stereotypes about how bathing babies should look. Despite the small range, they are popular with parents and comply with all the advice on choosing a bath for a newborn.

In order to make the right choice of baby bath, you must know at least the basic criteria for this.

1. The first and main criterion is safety. The child should be placed in the bath so that even with the careless movement of parents, nothing threatens his life. Yes, children can swim from birth and even automatically hold their breath under water, but this is possible only in a large pool, but in the bath the child can sip water from fear. Therefore, it would be better if the bath had a built-in or removable anatomical stand.
2. Volume The larger the bath, the easier it is for parents (many buy them for growth), but the harder it is for the baby. Given that the baby in the stomach constantly touched its walls, "big" water can cause a panic attack. Many parents believe that swimming in weight is good, but psychologists say that a child, on the contrary, should touch something with his body. Therefore, the bath should be the size of a little more than the height of the child. Ideal - special bath buckets that mimic my mother's belly.
3. Material. Bath should not be slippery, but at the same time there should not be many small protrusions and relief inserts in which dirt accumulates. Of course, in advance to check the model for this criterion will not work.

This model is the most popular among parents who appreciate the simplicity, ease of storage and the safety of the child during bathing. The bath is a folding structure, which is made of PP + TPE materials. This is a thermoplastic elastomer, which has a high tensile strength, is hypoallergenic, resistant to the external environment and high temperatures (that is, boiling water can be safely poured into the bath, then to dilute it with cool water).

The bath in the unfolded form has a rectangular shape and resembles a box, but when filled, it is rounded at the bottom and takes the form of my mother's belly. The material is very pleasant to the touch and does not slip. In working condition without water, it has dimensions of 38.90x23.80x66.50 cm, in a little more filled. When folded, the design is easy to put behind the door, its weight is 1.3 kg.

In addition to the bath attached anatomical seat for newborns, which is either included in the kit, or purchased separately (depending on the originally declared configuration of the goods). The seat is made in the form of a cradle that mimics the folded mother's hands. Non-skid material, supporting structure does not allow the child to slide into the water, but at the same time provides him with almost complete immersion. That is why the bath is suitable for children from 0 to 4 years.

Another important component is the presence of a drain for water. Water does not have to scoop or pour over the edge.

In addition to the bathroom, the manufacturer has developed a special towel with a hood and bath toys.

When using a bath it is necessary to adhere to some rules recommended by the manufacturer, in order to avoid misunderstandings.

1. Bath should be filled no more than 1/3 of its volume for children from 0 to 12 months and 2/3 for children older.
2. A baby can drown in water 2 cm high, so never let the baby out of sight while swimming and do not let the children look after the newborn.
3. Do not place the bath in an adult bath if it is full of water.
4. Do not add oil to water, including children. It harms the coating and significantly shortens the life of the product. Only water and baby shampoo.
5. Do not lift the bath with water by the folding mechanism, do not allow children to lean on the sides of the product.
