On the go with your baby

Spring is in the house and that's the perfect time to go out with your baby. Whether you go out with the baby carriage, the baby carrier or the car? Discover our handy tips for a successful spring trip.

On a walk with your newborn baby?

A fresh spring walk is also a good idea with a newborn baby. For both baby and parents, a dose of sunlight can do wonders and ensure a good mood.

During this walk, choose the right equipment right away. A beautiful baby carriage is often weighty and not always practical. Therefore, have you thought about a compact baby carriage with carrycot, which also has a lot of advantages to offer. It is much more lightweight, practical and has great maneuverability. You can take this baby carriage wherever you go, without your entire car trunk immediately filling up. When your little one is bigger, this compact baby carriage still guarantees comfort and functionality, but without the carrycot.

TIP | Choose convenience and comfort during your walk with your newborn baby with a compact baby carriage from birth. You can even put it on your birth list.

In addition to the daily walk, many newborn babies love to be carried. They feel safe and warm when they are close to you. If your newborn baby is comfortable being carried on a walk, a baby carrier is an excellent choice. There are even ergonomic and safe baby carriers specifically for newborn babies.

TIP | Choose a modified baby carrier designed specifically for newborn babies. These offer more comfort for your baby and for you.

Going on an adventure without a baby carriage?

You can also go on an adventure with your baby without a baby carriage and opt for a baby carrier. A baby carrier offers your baby more freedom of movement and strengthens the bond between parent and baby. It also supports baby's development, either physically or emotionally. So leave your baby carriage at home and go out with your baby in a baby carrier. It is comfortable, practical and easy to use. There is quite a difference between different baby carriers, both in comfort and ease of use.

TIP | Go on an adventure without a stroller with the baby carrier that is most comfortable for you. Try out the different models beforehand.

Short walk vs day trip by car? 

An excursion with the kids can of course be done by car. Don't forget snacks, water, toys, extra clothes... for your kids.

From a certain age, children try to test their limits during such a ride in the car. For some, this means trying to crawl out of their car seat belt system. Are you also afraid that your child will unbuckle himself? Then opt for a 'belt keeper', which prevents children from wriggling out from under the belt. That way you have one less thing to worry about on the road.

TIP | Choose handy accessories that ensure more safety during a day trip by car.

Keep in mind your child's sleep schedule 

Plan your trip with your baby around his sleep schedule. For a small walk, it is of course ideal if your child is rocked to sleep, but for a larger activity it is best to think about when your child's nap fits within the activity. Therefore, adjust the activity to your child's sleep schedule.

You can also skip the daily walk, which your child absolutely needs to fall asleep. Choose an automatic baby swing, which you can attach to the stroller, crib or bouncer. It provides the rocking motion, leaving your hands free for other things. Handy, right?

TIP | Plan your trip around your child's sleep schedule for a stress-free day.

Choose the right clothes and tools

When going on a spring trip, it is important to dress your baby and yourself suitably, for different weather conditions. Spring weather can sometimes be unpredictable, which is why it is important to dress yourself and your baby in layers. This way, you can adjust your clothing as the temperature changes and continue to enjoy your trip even if the weather suddenly turns!

TIP | Don't forget to protect your little one from the sun, with a sun hat, for example.

Also think of some practical travel products that you should not forget to take along on your trip. Think of a fork and spoon set that you can easily put in your bag, so that you are always prepared for a hunger on the way. A 2-in-1 travel potty is also ideal for emergencies, saves space in your bag and is handy for potty training.

TIP | Think in advance about practical tools when going on a trip with your little ones.
