Buggies & Strollers
Keeping your buggy or stroller clean will help maintain its life expectancy. Buggy or stroller liners are very useful for this and can be removed and washed when required.
Refer to the instruction manual when it comes to cleaning the buggy or stroller fabric and other attachments.
Car Seats
Your baby's or toddler's car seat can accumulate a fair amount of dirt from dust, spills and crumbs.
Try to clean the car seat at least once a month or more often if necessary.
Again refer to the manual with regards to the best way to clean the car seat.
Feeding Equipment & Highchairs
The best thing for keeping your baby's or toddler's highchair clean and sanitized is to use a gentle detergent with a warm cloth.
Mattresses
Turn your baby's or toddler's mattress over and rotate weekly if possible. This helps maintain the insides and ensures that damp and moisture are not trapped.
Also try and air the mattress in sunlight whenever possible to help stop the build up of bacteria.
Use on a slatted or aerated base if you can and do not use the mattress directly on the floor.
Sunglasses are not only for adults. We should teach kids from an early age about the importance of wearing sunglasses so that they develop good habits that last for life. Sunglasses maybe a fun fashion accessory, but they can also save your kids skin and help prevent eye problems as they get older by blocking out the sun's powerful ultraviolet rays (UVR).
So what items are good to keep from your baby's first year? Fun things to add to their memory box for when theyre older. During your baby's first year, they'll often accumulate a lot things, so it's sometimes difficult to know what to keep.
