stroller & car seats

buggies

A buggy should make everyday life easier, so it should not only be comfortable for your child, but should be easy to push, be sufficiently manoeuvrable and fold up quickly and compactly. When buying a buggy, there is a lot to consider, above all, he must meet the most important safety criteria. There are particularly lightweight models, compact collapsible and which for sporty types – which buggy suits you?

With sunscreen or not, sports car seat, can be combined with Maxi-Cosi, UV protection, storage space for purchases and much more. We picked out prams with different strengths, which are good for safety >

Car seat with Isofix base

A baby carrier is essential for the safe transport of your baby in the car. Baby bowls are also often used as an attachment, for example for the stroller. Before buying, you should definitely inform yourself, for which mounting the baby seat is suitable. Meanwhile, the fixing is prescribed by Isofix, as it is much safer than the belt installation. For more information, what you should pay attention to when buying your baby seat with Isofix mounting, you will find in our product guide.

Child seat

Children must be transported by car up to the age of 12 years and 1.50 m with a child seat. A good child seat not only offers the highest level of safety, but also provides children with a comfortable sitting position on long journeys. When buying parents should therefore pay a lot – what that is, we tell you in our large child seat test.

Booster seat

Many parents decide in addition to the normal seat for a cheap booster seat. This is perfect for outings with friends or with grandma and grandpa. The booster seat then serves as a secondary child seat, because it is very easy to use and often weighs less than a normal child seat. In our booster test we show you the best models.

extra beds

If you do not want to get up at night, if your baby is hungry, then an extra bed is a great and convenient solution for you. Additional beds have several advantages. Your baby is close to you, without you having to worry that you are moving wrong in your sleep. If it wakes up at night and is hungry, you can breastfeed right there on the spot, which mothers find especially in winter very pleasant. A good extra bed can be easily attached to the parents’ bed without any gaps and the closeness will not only be enjoyed by your baby.

Discover our great selection of play bows made of wood, with 3D blanket or with music function in our large game arc product test.

bassinet

Why do you need a bassinet, even though there is already a baby bed? Because bassinets can be easily moved and your baby is thus always in the room in which you are currently staying. Babies need to be close to their parents, so they feel safe and sleep better. With a bassinet you can also do without the baby monitor during the day and always keep an eye on your baby.

bouncer

Baby rockers find a place everywhere, so that your little darling always has you in mind and is busy at the same time. Many babies fall asleep very quickly due to the calming rocking movements and some baby bouncers with built-in play bow also have a lot of fun. At the same time, rocking helps to develop the sense of balance and motor skills, so baby rockers are not only lightweight and easy to transport, but are also a play partner and a sleeping aid – a real all-rounder.

A highchair is not only the simplest solution for feeding, but also offers babies and toddlers the opportunity to participate in the events at the dining table with the whole family. From the growing Stokke classic, which has also accompanied many of our readers already through the youth, up to a convertible highchair, which already serves the little ones as a rocker and height adjustable for maximum comfort. The range of high chairs is very large, so we have put together a selection of five great products for you.

Puck bag

A bag or a puck cloth supports a restful sleep in babies and is therefore great for the parents. Many babies wake up at night because they unconsciously move their little arms as they sleep. A good backpack provides enough freedom of movement for the legs and keeps the arms close enough to avoid uncontrolled movement. Children also feel very secure in their backpacks because the cozy space reminds of the womb. What do you want – a bag, a puck cloth to wrap yourself or rather a practical throw blanket?

Baby sleepingbag

A sleeping bag not only gives your baby a feeling of security, but is also much safer than a blanket because it can not slip over the face. Baby sleeping bags are available in different sizes, in different materials and in many cute designs. In our product test we show you different sleeping bags for babies and explain you what you should pay attention to when buying a sleeping bag.

But first the question: Would you like an electric sterilizer or would you prefer a microwave oven? So you see, sterilizers have a lot to consider. Our author Marie Kulmen helps you in her sterilizer test to find the sterilizer that fits in your home.

Love balls

Love balls are underestimated by most women, because they are more than just some sex toys. Pregnancy and childbearing strain the woman’s pelvic floor muscles. Without training, this condition can have serious consequences, such as a vaginal discharge.
