How to choose?
The rules for choosing a baby jacket will help mom choose a model. The jacket should be purchased based on the age and weight of the baby, and the details of the jacket should also be checked.
1. Inserts for babies come in several options. The most versatile is the trapezoidal shape of the insert. It is convenient to use it for carrying the baby, starting from the first month of the baby's life.On some models, the insert is made in such a way that the baby can be worn in it for up to two years (depending on the weight of the child).
2. When choosing a babywearing jacket, a woman should first of all focus on the functionality of the product. The insert for babies from 2 to 6 months should be equipped with a comfortable and lightweight hood with a thin layer of insulation. Since the baby is constantly spinning, you need to make sure that the hood does not restrict the neck, does not press. If necessary, the hood, like the shirt front, can be unfastened.
3. Convenient neck. For the smallest crumbs, the neckline with the hood form a single whole. In this case, the neck should be stitched in such a way that it can slightly support the baby's head. For babies from 6 months old, you should choose a jacket with an insert that will allow you to correctly place the baby inside without additional support. The neck here can be ordinary, the main thing is that it does not hinder the movements at the moment of turning the head.
4. It is necessary to pay attention to how conveniently the zippers are located on the transformable clothes. Mom must unbutton her jacket on her own and quickly. And just as quickly, without assistance, get dressed. The same requirement applies to the position of buttons and pockets on the model. In addition, the jacket should have comfortable slots for quick access to the child without having to stretch the jacket. Usually the slots are located on the sides (you can leave the insert in place, but leave a gap of 15-20 cm).
