Baby mobility gear on the other hand helps parents get a free hand, when it comes to running errands with baby in tow, stroller or pram. They not only provide your baby a space of their own, but also function as your mini storage cabinet on the go; providing them a safe enclosure from the surroundings. Here is a list of Must have Baby Mobility or Activity Gears that parents should invest in as part of baby essentials.

Prams and Stroller

A mother always chooses the best for her baby. No brand claim can surpass a mother’s instinct. When it comes to choosing a baby carrier, market is flooded with so many names and variations; to avoid confusion, differentiate carriers in terms of size, sturdiness, flexibility and weight. Pram or Pushchair is exclusively designed for infants, is compact and keeps your infant snug. However, stroller(term interchangeable with Pram by many brands) comes with more advanced features as compared to pram. Strollers come with a reclining cushioned seat and a safety harness that can position the stroller in 3 ways – straight for newborns, reclined and sitting for little older babies. Additionally, strollers also come with sun-hood, cup and mobile holder, storage space, back wheel brakes, footrest (adjustable), detachable food tray or guard handle. These features help parents with convenience and ease with baby especially during travel and trips.

These car seats come for specific age range of babies starting from birth upto 36 months. They are not only economical but also convertible to accommodate your growing baby. A car seat with a minimum of 5 point harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps & 1 from between the legs that meet these 4 somewhere around the baby’s tummy) is always a better and safer option. Moreover, the seat should either easily fix directly on the car seat slab in LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) or through Seat belt harness of the car.

Classic Style walkers allow you to put the baby in an opening and baby is able to glide on the floor whereas Push Walkers allow the child to hold onto the bars and push the walker. Walkers also come integrated with interactive and musical activities that can additionally help develop your baby’s sensory skills. Make sure the walker doesn’t fall if baby leans on it for extra support.
