A baby pillow chair to free your hands

Content from: parent.guide

A new baby brings a lot of adjustments to your lifestyle. The one I struggled with the most was needing to take my baby from one room to the next, setting up a comfortable area for him to rest in a location where I could easily keep my eyes on him.



What is a baby lounger?

A baby lounger is essentially a pillow with a groove allowing your baby to sit nested in it without rolling or falling out. No straps, no harnesses, just a comfy baby seat. A lounger can be set up on any flat surface and allows your baby to recline at an angle for a better view.

Pros and cons of baby loungers

Not sure if a baby lounger is right for you? I have put together a quick list of the pros and cons loungers to help you decide for yourself!

Advantages of baby loungers

  • checkHands-free — Perhaps the biggest benefit of a baby lounger is that it frees up both your hands. You will be free to wash the dishes, exercise or even do the Macarena while your baby watches and silently judges you from the comfort of his lounger.
  • checkGives a good view — Your newborn baby has no neck support. A lounger seats your baby at a slight angle so that he can get get a good view of what you are doing. No more staring at the ceiling. Plus the elevated upper body can even help aid digestion and breathing!
  • checkCan be set up anywhere — A baby lounger isn’t exactly a complicated product. All you need is a flat surface and you can set it up in seconds. And the best part is that your house is full of flat surfaces. Countertops, beds and the floor are just a few of the places you can set up your baby’s lounger.
  • checkPortable — While loungers are just too bulky to pack away in your luggage, they are more than easy enough to carry around your home or to pack in the trunk of your car when visiting grandma. Try doing that with your baby swing or baby bouncer, which are somewhat of a chore to haul around the home.
  • check No more bending over — If you have a sore back, you can simply place your infant lounger on a high surface (like your kitchen counter) and bottle feed without having to stoop over.
  • check Easy to clean — Your baby is a mess monster. With gunky stuff coming out of all holes, it’s only a matter of time before you need to wash your baby lounger. Lucky for you, baby loungers are very easy to clean. A quick wipe down with a cloth is often all it takes, however for bigger spills, you have the option of throwing your lounger through a wash cycle.

Disadvantages of baby loungers

  • checkLimited use — Loungers are only used up until 4 months or until your baby can push himself up. So you won’t get to enjoy the benefits of the lounger for long.
  • checkIt’s another baby product — By now your home is overflowing with baby gadgets. And baby loungers are one more product to add to your collection.

Every parent’s situation is different and this is definitely a nice to have rather than a must-have. So the importance you place on a baby lounger may vary. But for me, I don’t know what I would have done without one.

Are Baby Walkers Ever Safe?

Around 2000 children visit US emergency rooms every year for walker-related injuries. "Ninety percent of walker-related injuries are to the head and neck, and the rest are mostly upper extremities (arms and hands). Bruises and contusions to the scalp and face are common," explains Dr. Sczcepaniak, and concussions occur in more than 25 percent of cases. "While fractures happen less frequently, about five percent on walker-related injuries, more than half of these fractures are dangerous skull fractures." When walkers first hit the scene in the early 1970s, they were incredibly popular. Parents thought they'd finally found the answer to keeping baby occupied, engaged, and active while giving busy parents a break. But shortly after their popularity spiked, so did ER visits for injuries like concussions, abrasions, burns, and fractures. Giving babies the freedom to explore their environments unhindered led to accidents. Falling down staircases, burns from otherwise ...
