If earlier for walks with children all parents used ordinary strollers, then today each family has alternatives – many young mothers use baby slings and a kangaroo carryings who allow the child to be closer to mom and to feel more comfortably, than in a carriage. However it is necessary to approach the choice of a kangaroo seriously – not only the comfort of the child, but also your own comfort depends on a right choice. The kangaroo of the correct design will allow you to get rid of the weight of a heavy carriage which does not need to be moved from the floor to the floor any more and also will allow not to feel the big weight of the child which will always be with you where you went. How to choose the correct model of a kangaroo among the mass of the models offered by shops?
Instruction
1. When choosing pay attention to the child's weight – different kangaroos are calculated on different weight. Usually kangaroos maintain the child's weight to 10 kg. Some models allow to carry children since the birth, stacking them is horizontal, but not vertically – such models surely have to have an insurance for the child to prevent his turning headfirst.
2. For the child of two-three months of a kangaroo it has to be equipped with side fixers which will be able to attract the kid as it is possible closer to mother's breast as at such age the child cannot independently sit yet. In a sitting position of the child it is possible to place in a kangaroo only after he learns to sit surely.
3. After half a year the child will suit kangaroos in whom the child sits facing mom, or is behind her back, or on a hip. The kangaroo has to have a dense head restraint which will hold the head of the child and will not cause in it discomfort.
4. Choosing a kangaroo, pay attention to width of his belts. Belts should not be already seven centimeters and also in them there have to be soft laying and adjustable length. Make sure that you will be able independently to adjust a kangaroo, even in the put-on state. All belts and fastenings of a kangaroo have to be simple and convenient that putting on did not take you a long time.
5. Straps of a kangaroo have to cross on a back – it will correctly distribute loading. The kangaroo will be easier to be carried if besides back straps he is equipped with a zone belt with a fastener on a waist.
6. Check reliability of fastenings – they have to be strong and qualitative, and it is necessary to give preference to latches and carbines, but not buttons and velcros. The back of a kangaroo has to fasten not to axillary, and to humeral straps.
7. Pay attention to sitting width – it has to be not less than 16-20 cm and have soft rollers at the edges. The coming unfastened sitting will allow to shift the fallen asleep child in a bed or a carriage, without having disturbed it.
8. Depending on a season in which you plan to use a kangaroo, choose backpacks from different materials. For summer months it is possible to choose a kangaroo with the breathing inserts from natural fabrics, and winter models of backpacks have to be warmed by fleece or other warm material.
9. To prevent continuous pollution of a kangaroo, use a bib. In case of bad weather it is possible to attach the removable peak or a cover protecting the child from a rain to a kangaroo.
10. To lower load of a backbone of the child, a kangaroo has to have the soft rollers supporting the child under mice.
11. The backpack has to be sewed so that it was possible to wash it easily and quickly.
