A stroller or a sling?

With the development of the popularity of slings, many parents are faced with the question: Is a wheelchair necessary? Is it possible to do only with a sling or, conversely, a stroller is more useful for the child? Let's try to figure it out, what is better: a stroller or a sling?
Well, what is a baby carriage, everyone knows notby hearsay. But what a miracle is overseas - sling - not everyone knows. In short, the sling is a special wide band of tissue, through which the child is attached in a special way to the mother. Moreover, the hands of the mother are free, and the load on the back is evenly distributed.
Slings in the modern world are experiencing a "secondbirth". After all, thousands of years ago this adaptation was actively used by women of eastern countries: India, China, etc. Mom tied her baby to the back or chest and could engage in traditional for women in these countries work: collect tea leaves, work in the rice field, etc.
What is a bad traditional wheelchair?
Stroller is very cumbersome - trips in public transport are turning into a real torture for my mother. Even in a personal car the wheelchair is not always convenient to pack, as it does not fit in the trunk.
A heavy carriage for mom it is inconvenient to enter one into the entrance on the stairs, the stroller can not fit in an ordinary, not a freight elevator.
With the stroller you will not go to the store, it must be left at the entrance, on the conscience of passers-by: who passes by, and who pozaritsya on someone else's good.
The stroller needs to be stored somewhere. If the stroller is stored at home, it clutters the already small area of a standard apartment.
The carriage must be washed in rainy weather or in winter slush. This again is extremely inconvenient in the conditions of small-sized apartments.
Steps of stairs in public places not always equipped with special rails for prams. If the rails are still there, then their width may not match the width of the wheelchair, moms have to come up with various dodgy ways to pull the stroller off the stairs or lift it upstairs.
Despite all these shortcomings, the stroller can not be replaced, if, for example, you need to walk with your child in the winter. Walking on long distances in this case is much less tedious for the mother and baby, if the child is in a stroller. In this case, sling, in principle, can also be used, but it is not always convenient to hide a child under the mother's outer clothing or to sit it over the mother's coat or jacket.
In winter, when on the roads ice, wearing a baby in a sling is quite dangerous, because a mother can slip. With a sidecar in this case it is safer.
The stroller will help out Mom, if she needs to make a lot of purchases. In this case, the inconvenience of the wheelchair is compensated by a convenient capacious basket, and carrying a baby in a sling and many more bags and bags while hardly opening the shop door is not the best option.
If there are more than one child in the family, then the stroller on the walk is more convenient than the sling. To catch the eldest or to shake it on a swing is more convenient when the baby is sleeping in a stroller.
If mom is expecting a babyIt is contraindicated to wear the elder in a sling. After all the kid already heavy and, besides, can inadvertently kick a mum with a leg.
When the child is already walking, sling to him is more of a hindrance than help. The kid wants to run, jump and put him in a stroller or take out of it much more convenient than tie-untie the sling every five minutes.
Sling recommend for kids who need peace for their peace of mindphysical contact with my mother. When a baby needs to be around the clock around the clock, the sling will help to stay with the baby, and free his hands for other things.
Pose of a baby in a sling, a touch to my mother's warm body, a mother's walk that is familiar since the mother's uterine life, all help to reduce the discomfort of the baby if it pains the abdominal pain.
In those cases, when you need to go to a polyclinic or to the store around the corner for a loaf of bread, slingmore convenient stroller. First, the stroller has nowhere to put, and secondly, in order to quickly run after one or two products, the basket of the stroller is not needed, and there are still difficulties in carrying the stroller out of the house and back.
In the child's sling you can breastfeed even in a public place. Wide fabric completely protects the baby and mother from extraneous views.
Sling gives the child the opportunity to consider what is happening around. From 2-3 months the child is very actively interested in the surrounding world and he already lacks a review from the stroller.
Sling - a convenient thing for mom. But we must not forget that the older the baby becomes, the more new needs and it is not enough for him to be alone with his mother. Therefore, the sling and stroller are not interchangeable, but rather complementary adaptations, each of which is good in its own way. If a child sleeps well in a wheelchair, then for his psychological health it is perfectly safe to be in it, and sling is very useful for mom at home and you can take it with you for a walk.
Listening to their feelings and to their baby, each mother will determine for herself what, a stroller or sling, it is more convenient for her to use at home and for a walk.
