What You Need to Know About Buying a Baby Stroller

When you are thinking about buying a stroller, safety should be your number one consideration. Here’s what you need to know about buying a new stroller for your baby:

Decide What You Want Out of a Stroller

There are many different styles and models of strollers, from a simple umbrella design to an all-terrain stroller. Before you purchase a stroller, think about what you need from it. If you are just looking for something to take your baby from the car to the grocery store, you may want something different than a parent who wants to take her baby on jogs. Take a look at the different styles of strollers to see which one will best suit your needs. Consider the versatility of each model and whether you’ll need a few different strollers to serve difference purposes.

Remember Your Child’s Needs

Newborn babies cannot sit up by themselves, so they need strollers in which they can lie flat. You could also opt for a stroller that works with a car seat so that you don’t need to disturb your sleeping baby when you get out of the car. Never leave your baby unattended in a stroller, as straps and buckles could end up hurting him.

Go for a Test Drive

You wouldn’t buy a car without taking a test drive, so why would you purchase a stroller without trying it out first? You may find that you like the way some models handle better than others, and some strollers are more easily adjustable for different users. Give a few models a try to see which one you like best!

How to Buy a Bunk Bed

A bunk bed can be a space-saving and economical choice for your child’s bedroom. Plus, your children will love this type of bed! There are a few different factors to consider when you are buying a bunk bed as part of the furniture in your child’s room. Functionality, comfort, and safety all play into your purchase:

Consider Your Space

Bunk beds can be a great fit in both small and large rooms. Measure the amount of space you have before you look for a bunk bed so that you don’t end up buying something that is too big for the room. Twin-over-twin bunk beds will take up the least amount of space, while bunk beds with other features such as pull-out drawers may require a little more room.

Consider the Type of Bed

In addition to the standard twin-over-twin bunk bed, there are a few other choices that could work for your child. Twin-over-full is a good choice for kids who have sleepovers or for three children sharing a room. If your child has his own room, a bunk bed lofted over a desk can save space and give him his own place to draw or do homework. These lofts come in a few different configurations, so you can choose the best one for your child’s room.

Consider the Features

Some bunk beds feature trundle drawers underneath the bottom bunk, while others have drawers as part of the bed’s support system. No matter which bunk bed you choose, be sure that your child is old enough to use it safely.

Decorating Your Baby's Nursery

Decorating your baby’s nursery is just one of the projects you can take care of before your baby is born. From furniture to wall decorations, you can create the perfect mood in your nursery by following the tips in this video.

Nursery decorations can be as simple or as elaborate as you want them to be. Babies can initially only see shades of black, gray, and white, so choose soft colors like light blues and greens for when their eyesight develops. You can use wallpaper or paint to spruce up the room and to highlight your new crib and glider.

The Baby Furniture Warehouse in Boston has a great selection of baby furniture to make your nursery perfect. Call us at (781) 670-3175 to find out how we can help you decorate your nursery.

A Guide to Creating a Safe Sleep Environment for Your Baby

Your baby’s health and safety are of utmost importance to you as a parent. Once you bring your bundle of joy home from the hospital, it’s your job to make sure he or she is protected and safe at all times. Just as you keep a close eye on your baby when he or she is awake, you should also make sure she is secure when she is asleep. Here is a brief guide on creating a safe sleep environment for your baby:

Buy a Great Crib: Your baby needs good rest in order to grow and develop normally. While it may be tempting to have your baby sleep in bed with you, this is not a good idea. Babies need their own cribs, free from pillows and loose bedding, to sleep safely and soundly. A good crib will give your baby a flat surface on which to rest.

Make Sure She Sleeps on Her Back: Your baby should sleep on her back for about the first year of her life. This position is safer for babies and can reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Once she is able to roll over on her own, you do not need to make her sleep on her back during the night.

Don’t Sleep in the Same Bed: Adult beds are not safe places for babies. Sleeping with your baby can increase the risk of entrapment or suffocation. Though you should not share your bed with your baby, you can place her crib near your bed to make both of you feel secure. This can also make nighttime feedings much more convenient for you. Just make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark, so you can all get plenty of rest.
