The advantages and disadvantages of waist stool

The waist stool is different from the baby carrier. It is a new type of parenting tool that is tied to the mother's waist. It is ergonomically designed, safe, comfortable and fashionable. The waist stool can be used in a variety of ways, such as face-to-face, horizontal, and side-holding, to meet the needs of babies of different ages. The waist stool can effectively relieve the burden on the shoulders and waist when holding the baby barehanded. It is easier to carry than a stroller and more suitable for traveling with the baby. But it is large in size and inconvenient to carry. The disadvantage of a large seat cushion is that it is not easy to store. If you take it out without using it, it will really be a behemoth. Mothers who want to carry it out for easy storage should consider it carefully. If you are used to using a sling to coax your child to sleep, you will feel that this backpack is not snug enough. Because the seat cushion is large, the child will have more space to move around, so it is easy to twist. So mothers who are used to intimate slings may not be used to it.

Is it better to have a solid waist stool or one with storage?

Relatively speaking, a waist stool with storage is better because it has the ability to store things. When using a waist stool to take the baby out, the mother does not need to carry a small bag. She can put her mobile phone, tissues, keys, etc. on the waist stool storage bag, and go out with empty hands, reducing trouble and burden.

For example, the current EPP foam waist stool is safe and non-toxic, has high stability, is light and does not occupy weight, and does not worry about the baby being deformed after sitting for a long time. If it is an EPP foam waist stool, mothers can also consider choosing it. Mothers can face many choices when buying a waist stool for their babies. For the majority of parents, only by choosing a suitable waist stool for the baby can it be truly beneficial to him in the future when the baby uses it.

Which baby carrier waist stool is more practical?

Waist stools can generally be used by babies after 6 months old. It will be easier for mothers to use a baby waist stool when they need to walk for a long time or go out. The center of gravity will be behind the waist when using it, which can reduce the burden on the waist. However, it will increase the burden on the shoulders and is not as safe as a baby belt. Every summer, mothers will complain that it is too hot to use a baby carrier. When it is inconvenient to push the stroller, the waist stool is very meaningful when the child at home wants to look around. It is cooler and more labor-saving than holding directly, and it can free up at least one hand. However, the waist stool is only suitable for use when the family is busy and the baby is not taken care of. Be careful not to use it for a long time, which is not conducive to the development of the baby's spine and may also cause deformities of the lower limbs. In addition to baby carriers and waist stools, some walkers should not be used for a long time. Whether it is a baby carrier or a waist stool, when purchasing, you should see whether the stitching is good and whether the shoulder straps are wide, firm and soft enough. If there is a belt on the waist and chest, it will be more convenient to use.
