Take note of ☝
Modern manufacturers children's devices offer the consumer a lot of colorful gadgets. They are designed for the correct physical development of children and meet all safety rules. Bright, attractive, with additional game panels, children's exercise equipment and devices are very popular in the domestic market. They all have significant and compelling benefits. But along with the pluses, these items have Negative influence on the physical development of the child.
❌ Jumpers are the enemy of the child's spine. Parents begin to use this children's sports trainer even before the baby begins to move independently. It is believed that jumpers bring a lot of pleasure to the child. But they give pleasure only to mommy, who can do household chores for a while.
A child, being in jumps and left without parental attention, quickly loses interest in jumping. In addition, the device limits the child's freedom of movement and can harm his natural development. Pushing off the floor with two legs, the baby gets used to these movements, and without a walker will try to resume the same movements. As a result, regular falls will affect independent walking. Do not forget about the child's fragile spine. When jumping in jumpers, the main load falls on the back. Therefore, frequent jumps in the device will lead to curvature of the spine. Jumpers are highly undesirable for children who have skin injuries in the area of contact with the parts of the device. Jumpers squeeze the baby's crotch quite hard and can cause allergic reactions.
❌ Walkers: traumatic and useless. Many parents believe that walkers accelerate the development of their baby. And they are very mistaken in this. This adaptation affects only the muscle group that is responsible for the formation of gait. Of course, it is very convenient to put the child in a walker and be distracted by a conversation with your beloved girlfriend, knowing that nothing will happen to the baby. But walkers have many disadvantages.
With the help of this device, the child will not learn to walk on his own for a long time, since the structure itself will be able to carry it to any place in the room. In addition, he will not develop the vestibular apparatus. And due to improper distribution of the load and circulatory disorders, not only the spine, but also the feet can be deformed. The walker reliably protects the baby from falling, and outside of this device the child will not be able to avoid injury. On top of this, they interfere with the development of a protective reaction, because, having bumped into a barrier, the child will not see the danger. Little children learn the world through touch and taste buds. While in the walker, it becomes impossible to reach many objects.
❌ Leash (reins) for children: did you really want a child, not a dog? This device was invented for restless and curious children who, every time they walk, strive to show independence and run away from adults. Moreover, they help maintain balance and control the baby's falls. This harmless invention provokes a lot of indignation from others, as it evokes the association of "walking the dog."
The harm of children's reins is that they inhibit the psychological development of the baby. Being constantly on a leash, the child cannot worry about his safety. Consequently, he will not learn to make decisions on his own, will not receive elementary development skills and will not develop a sense of responsibility for his life. Moreover, the leash makes it clear to the child who dominates in many ways without the possibility of changing the situation. Thus, children fail to learn many lessons, miss out on learning opportunities, and fail to understand when to cooperate or listen to adults.
❌ Kangaroo backpack: convenient but dangerous. Many parents have already been able to appreciate the new-fashioned kangaroo backpack, because it greatly facilitates the carrying of small children. It is adjustable for any adult, type of clothing (summer and winter) and can easily change the position of the child. Backpacks perfectly support the lower back, thereby preventing the appearance pain... Being in such a "bag", the child feels complete safety, and the hands of mom or dad at this time are completely free.
Despite these advantages, the kangaroo backpack has some negative sides... Since baby for a long time is in a hanging position, the entire load goes to the fragile spine and perineal region. Subsequently, this leads to deformation of the spinal column and damage to the skin on the inner surface of the legs. A dangling head will also have a big disadvantage if it is not pressed against an adult. A narrow sitting position can disrupt blood flow in the small pelvis and baby's legs. These negative aspects are more related to the design of the backpack. But do not forget that even in a properly selected kangaroo shoulder bag, the baby should be no more than two hours. Look out for a harmless alternative to a baby carrier - a sling backpack.
❌ Manezh: psychologists warn. A very useful and practical playpen for children causes a mixed reaction from psychologists. On the one hand, the safety of the arena allows you to leave the child alone for a while, and on the other hand, it limits the movement and freedom of the little man. Limitation interferes with normal physical development and makes it impossible to actively move.
Growing up, the child seeks to know the world around him. His first independent movement is crawling. Unfortunately, the arena misses this opportunity. It only allows the baby to stand on its legs (or sit down), hold onto the support and move along the edge. In the arena, the baby often feels helpless, as he cannot reach what attracts him. The obstacle becomes insurmountable, and the first experience of insolvency can gain a foothold for a long time subconscious level... Moreover, being long time in the arena, the child loses close contact with adults, which affects his psychological development.
Many parents have raised healthy and happy children without resorting to the dubious use of these remedies.

Dear mothers! Surround yourself with helpful devices that will make caring for your baby not only easy, but also enjoyable.
Any mother instinctively knows that carrying a baby in her arms is useful. Scientists, however, were not content with instincts and conducted various studies that proved: yes, how useful! How younger child, the stronger his need to feel his mother next to him, to feel the warmth of her body, to hear her voice and heartbeat. In addition, children love to view the world from a position of "equal" - from the height of their parents' height, and not from a stroller.
Life in the city also pushes mothers to take their children in their arms and carry them on themselves: the strollers are quite bulky, there are many stairs and passages, you have to use by public transport, for or, unfortunately, not adapted, and to visit places and institutions, during the construction of which they did not think about the convenience for mothers and babies.
You can follow the instinct, you have to follow common sense, but this is not always convenient: the older the child becomes, the more difficult it is to carry it in your arms, and your hands can be busy with something. Therefore, most mothers - some from birth, some later - are thinking about buying baby carriers. Motherhood will talk about the classic and exotic options that have already become.
Kangaroo backpack
This design is similar to a backpack in that it has straps and many different fasteners and fasteners, as well as the fact that the load when carrying a child is similar to carrying tourist equipment- lies on the shoulders of mom.A kangaroo can have several positions: in it, the child can lie, sit with his face or with his back to his mother's chest. Some models allow the baby to be positioned behind the mother's back.
There are options for a kangaroo with a large number of hooks, clips and other fasteners, there are - on a single zipper. There are kangaroo carriers with criss-cross straps, with an additional strap at the waist to reduce stress on the mother's shoulders and spine. Prudent producers have even come up with a kangaroo option for twins.
When choosing a kangaroo, you should pay attention not only to the nominal parameters (weight and age of the child), but also to its complexion: for well-fed babies, there are “maxi” kangaroos on sale, for miniature babies - “mini” kangaroos. They differ in the volume of the pocket for the child's body and in the width of the holes for his legs. The season for using the kangaroo should also be taken into account: in winter, when the child has many layers of clothing, it would be better to take the “maxi” model.
Most models of kangaroo carriers are equipped with an additional pocket in which you can put a handkerchief, packaging wet wipes or a small bottle.
The advantages of kangaroos include their low price (from 800 rubles), clarity and ease of operation (pulled up there, buttoned up here - and forth). The disadvantages (although the manufacturers dispute this argument) can be attributed to the "non-physiological" position of the child during the use of a kangaroo, increased.
There are also restrictions on age restrictions (from 3 months, although there are models and "from birth" - lying position and a rigid headrest) or on the weight of the child (mainly up to 9-10 kg, although there are models up to 12 13 kg).
Sling (sling, patchwork holder)
This is a large piece of fabric of different shapes (depending on the type of sling), which is used to "tie" the baby to the mother. A sling can be a cradle for a newborn, a kangaroo for a 6-month-old baby, and a "bag" for a two-year-old. Its use is limited only by the imagination and physical fitness of the mother who decided to use the sling.When it comes to using slings, African and Asian mothers are “ahead of the rest of the world” - they have long worn their children that way: often not because of a good life, but because there is no one to leave the child on, but there is nowhere to put it. Nevertheless, science has already proved that a child is only good for a child's constant neighborhood with his mother.
There are the following types of slings:
- Slings on rings (such a sling is fixed with special rings) - from 1000 rubles;
- May slings (rectangles with four straps) - from 1600 rubles;
- slings-scarves (wide strips of fabric 5-6 meters long, with which you can different ways to tie a child to yourself) - from 1300 rubles;
- slings-pipes or slings-pockets (these have the ends of the scarf sewn) - from 1600 rubles.
Some models of slings are sheathed with a strip of padding polyester or batting so that the baby's head is relatively safe in case of unexpected collisions with foreign objects... Slings can be equipped with a pocket (for a pacifier, a mobile phone, wet wipes or a travel card), a mattress (to more conveniently position the child in the sling).
The main positions in which you can carry a baby in a sling are a "cradle", facing and back to yourself, behind the back (if you have enough skill for this) and on the hip. However, slings provide room for experimentation.
The advantages of a sling include its physiology; practicality - the ability to use from birth to 2 years; even distribution of the load on the mother's back (with correct use); the ability to breastfeed in a sling.
In fact, there are no shortcomings, there is a feature: it takes practice and experience to train correctly (and, importantly, quickly) to tie a child in a sling.
Carry cot
This is a bag in which a baby - most often a newborn - is put in for everyday convenience. It is used as a portable bed, can be inserted into a stroller or installed on a special stand (if included in the kit).Prices for carry cots start at 1000 rubles. She has one drawback - short term use (most often up to 3 months), there is also a feature: the child is still separate from the mother, does not feel bodily contact with her.
Ergonomic backpack
According to the manufacturers, ergonomic backpacks differ from conventional kangaroo backpacks with an improved design: the disadvantages of classic kangaroos are taken into account, therefore, the baby's posture in ergo versions is close to physiological, the adjustment is more perfect. These are quite justified high price- from 6900 rubles. For this money, mom gets an effective symbiosis of a kangaroo with a sling. However, this is a matter of personal choice, taste and financial capabilities.
Backpack for carrying a child
This is a kind of box on a frame, designed for carrying relatively adult children - over 6 months old. Some models are equipped with wheels, like a suitcase, and an awning over your head. However, experienced moms, who happened to use the design, argue that additional "gadgets" are used extremely rarely, but the device is much more expensive. The simplest models cost from 2000 rubles. The position of the child in the backpack is usually sitting.The manufacturers insist that the backpack for carrying children is convenient on long hikes. Its advantages are the ability to withstand heavy loads (you can carry children under the age of 5) - however, the resistance of the mother is not taken into account here. The disadvantage is that, like a bear in famous fairy tale, the mother does not see what is happening behind her, and this can cause psychological discomfort.
Hip Seat
You can literally translate the name of this device as "wearing on the hip." The translation also reflects the essence of the construction. This is a kind of chair for a baby that mom or dad can place on the hip. The position of the child in the hipseat is only vertical, so it can be used from the moment when the child learns to hold the back on his own (that is, from about 4 months). The upper limit of use is 3 years (up to 20 kg).The simplest version of a hipseat starts at 2,700 rubles. Advanced models are supplemented with a device for fixing the baby's back.
The advantages of hipseat are ease of use, less stress on the spine of mom or dad. Disadvantages - limited use cases.
This device is similar to a backpack and allows you to carry the child behind the back, while the child is standing. The design has a special metal stand and is fixed with straps. The manufacturers claim that the device was invented for dads (it would be hard for mothers to carry a 3-7 year old child weighing up to 60 kg). This non-trivial option costs from 5700 rubles. It appeared on the market relatively recently, and practice will show whether the product has a future. However, any mother will have a question: why drag a child on her who is not only able to walk and even run on her own, but also enjoys the process?
Saddle Baby Carrier
Many dads love to carry their babies on their shoulders, but they are nervous (and rightly so) that a restless and curious child can fall out of there. In addition, dad's hands are all the time busy holding the child by the legs. Enterprising Americans have come up with a device that helps to secure the child in a position "on daddy's shoulders" using soft Velcro cuffs. In addition, the saddle has a recess for the child's bottom, which reduces the risk of slipping to the side. Such a "saddle" costs from 6,000 rubles. The advantages can be safely attributed to the euphoria that children (not all, but most) experience, sitting on their father's shoulders. The disadvantage is limited use, low eaves of Russian doors, the inconvenience of placing a child on dad's neck (even the Americans have not yet invented a special ladder).
