Kangaroo

In kangaroo child is upright in the position of the face-to-adult or face from him. There are models that can be used in two positions. When choosing kangaroos need to pay attention to when you received your model was hard back and body of the child was well documented, as well as to the straps, which puts on an adult were comfortable and does not cut into the body. To do this, take the baby and try kangaroo in place.


Doctors believe that kangaroos can be used from the moment when the child started to hold her head up. Even if the information about the product you have specified to use from birth, this is not recommended. Of course, most high quality and comfortable are more expensive models well-known companies. Good domestic models are virtually non-existent.




It should also be noted that some physicians do not recommend the use of the holders, where the child is in a vertical position, while the baby does not learn how to sit. This is due to the fact that the vertical position of the child with dangling legs when the weight only on the lower part of the spine, creates excessive overload and can adversely affect the formation of the spine, in particular, cause its curvature. In this regard, most doctors recommend to choose a sling.

The baby is in the horizontal or raised position supporting the entire line of the spine. The sling can be placed on the back, on the chest and on the side. The mother can, without removing the sling, to feed the baby.


Thus, if you need the device for carrying the child, up to 6 months would be optimal sling, and later, if the child wants to be in a vertical position, you can go to kangaroo.
