How to choose a stroller, car seat and supports for a newborn

Strollers, car seats, swaddles or fanny packs: each support has different characteristics, but all must meet criteria of safety, ergonomics and suitability for the age of the boy or girl. You don't need to have everything right away: better a few carefully chosen tools. The car seat is mandatory by law upon discharge from the hospital. It must be approved, correctly assembled and suitable for the child's weight/height. The stroller can be used immediately if it is approved from birth (fully reclining backrest), otherwise after 6 months. For the first few months, it is advisable to use a wheelchair (also called a 'navicella') precisely to allow complete back distension. Bands and fanny packs must ensure a correct position per column and hip ('M' or 'frog' position) and support head and neck in the first months. This is important for the child's physiology and for avoiding postural damage. Attention to used offers: always check that the devices are not expired, damaged or uncertified, in particular car seats that are not advisable to buy used because the story is unknown.
