Your baby prefers to be carried on your body, for example in a baby sling. This can help build and strengthen your bond. But if you have longer distances to travel, you will need other ways to transport your baby. A pram is suitable for longer walks or shopping trips. Babies can feel safe here too, plus your back can have a rest for a while. When your child is older, you can also use a stroller or buggy. The child can sit in it while moving and can see more of their surroundings. If you are traveling by car, your child must sit in a car seat, whether you are driving or along as a passenger. It's best to get one before birth.
Baby carriers
When driving with a child in the car, you are required by law to ensure their safety. The installation of a baby carrier car seat is therefore mandatory. The law applies to children up to the age of 12 and therefore also to your newborn baby. It doesn't matter whether you own the car or not. A baby car seat should be secured in the back seat before driving so that the child is facing toward the rear window of the car. Some people are bothered by the fact that they can’t observe the child very well this way. However, the baby’s safety should always come first. Remember that your baby's back muscles are not stable yet. Therefore your baby should not spend more than two hours in the car seat, after which a longer break is necessary. Some baby carriers can be supplemented with special inserts for newborn allowing the baby to lie in a less curved position.
Am besten besorgst du die Babyschale schon vor der Geburt. Eine Babyschale wird vor der Fahrt auf der Rückbank so angebracht, dass der Blick des Kindes auf die Heckscheibe des Autos gerichtet ist. Denk daran, dass die Rückenmuskulatur deines Babys noch nicht stabil ist. Aus diesem Grund solltest du längere Autofahrten vermeiden. In den ersten drei Monaten sollte dein Baby nicht länger als 20 Minuten in der Babyschale liegen. Manche Babyschalen lassen sich durch spezielle Einsätze für Neugeborene ergänzen, in denen das Baby weniger gekrümmt liegt.
Babyschalen sind immer mit einem Tragebügel versehen. Damit kannst du die Schale mit deinem Kind auch in der Armbeuge tragen. Wenn du Einkäufe erledigst, kannst du die Schale im Einkaufswagen abstellen. Manche Modelle lassen sich auch auf einem Kinderwagengestell montieren. Das kann praktisch sein, zum Beispiel, wenn du dein schlafendes Baby nach einer Autofahrt nicht extra umbetten willst.
Das Baby im Fahrradanhänger
Einige Babyschalen sind so gebaut, dass sie in einem passenden Fahrradanhänger fixiert werden können. Die Meinungen darüber, ab welchem Alter eine solche Transportart zu empfehlen ist, gehen auseinander. Frag am besten dein:e Kinderärzt:in nach einer Empfehlung. Denk auf jeden Fall daran, dass die Wirbelsäule deines Neugeborenen noch nicht stabil ist. Der Fahrradanhänger sollte also eine gute Federung haben.
Welcher Kinderwagen passt zu mir?
Bevor du einen Kinderwagen besorgst, solltest du darüber nachdenken, wo er zum Einsatz kommen soll. Wenn du ihn auch für Ausflüge in die Natur oder für Spaziergänge auf unebenen Strecken nutzen willst, sollte das Modell gut gefedert sein und möglichst große Räder haben. Ein Kinderwagen mit kleineren Rädern ist wendiger. Ein solches Modell empfiehlt sich, wenn du den Wagen öfter durch enge Geschäfte manövrieren musst. Vielleicht willst du den Kinderwagen gelegentlich im Auto oder im Aufzug mitführen. Dann solltest du auf die Maße achten. Manche Kinderwagen lassen sich zu Buggys umbauen. Eine solche Kombi-Lösung kann praktisch und platzsparend sein.
Der Buggy
Als Buggy bezeichnet man einen in der Regel zusammenklappbaren, wendigen und besonders leichten Kinderwagen. Dein Kind hat im Buggy die Möglichkeit, seine Umwelt im Sitzen zu beobachten. Der Buggy kommt meistens zwischen dem sechsten Monat und dem ersten Lebensjahr zum Einsatz. Manche Expert:innen raten allerdings dazu, ihn nicht zu früh einzusetzen. Sie weisen darauf hin, dass viele Kinder unter Stress geraten, wenn neue Eindrücke auf sie einstürmen. Zudem sollte die Muskulatur des Kindes so ausgeprägt sein, dass eine sitzende Haltung problemlos möglich ist. Frag am besten dein:e Kinderärzt:in nach einer Empfehlung. Beim Transport im Buggy ist es von Vorteil, wenn das Baby seine Bezugspersonen sehen kann. Wenn du einen klassischen Buggy nutzt, bei dem das Kind in Fahrtrichtung sitzt, solltest du immer wieder anhalten und überprüfen, ob es ihm gut geht. Inzwischen gibt es auch Modelle, in denen die Sitzrichtung nach Bedarf verändert werden kann.
