The challenge of preparing for a new baby is never straightforward and the large
range of baby products that are on offer can make preparing all the more difficult. With the new baby product sector becoming a larger and more competitive industry, new parents can often be left confused as to exactly what is and is not a vital purchase in preparation for a new born. This handy guide aims to give you the low down on exactly what to buy for your new born and what each product needs in order to be the best for your child.
High Chairs
Having children sat at the table with the rest of the family is vital and as such high chairs are one of the most important purchases that you can make. Good high chairs will be adjustable which will allow for the chair to fit at any sized table and also make feeding really easy. They should also be easily cleaned as feeding times will almost always result in quite a mess being made, washable or protected fabric is a must. Although not a vital requirement, a collapsible high chair is very useful for saving space around the house and can also be stored long term.
Pushchairs
There are many designs and styles of pushchair which can make the decision of which one to buy very difficult. Pushchairs are perhaps the most important of all purchases as they are used so frequently and for a variety of different reasons. This is why buying the right pushchair for your needs is so important and also why there are so many to choose from. If you are a highly active person and enjoy hiking then there are pushchairs which are specifically designed to be used on all terrains. While they are not quite suitable for heading off up mountains they are certainly ideal for muddy footpaths and uneven surfaces.
Not everyone will want such an adventurous pushchair so instead it may be worth considering a slim line chair ideal for darting around narrow streets and shops. These are great for the urban parent and with a huge range of styles and colours you can match your designer lifestyle with your stylish pram.
If you are expecting twins then you can get double pushchairs which are naturally very handy but also quite wide. This can make navigating supermarkets tough but will still mean you can take your children around the park easily.
