Pregnancy and Health Care

From 4 or 5 months to 1 year old and a half, baby can enjoy the wonders of the park. In this protected and safe, extremely convenient beginning of his life, he is then free to explore and play alone. Follow our tips on how to better use, but also how best to choose.

Choose a park for baby’s cot or net?

Whatever your choice, baby should be able to play safely. To do this, verify that the park has well indicates compliance with safety requirements. It certifies that the product meets the standards NF S 54-010 (French GAAP) and EN 12227 (European norms) on childcare articles. These standards ensure its strength and lack of games are harmful to children (small parts or sharp edges).

Choose between two types of Park:

- Park in bars often made of wood, it is heavy, stable, and provides good support for a baby who learns to stand up. It costs between 50 and 100 euros;
- Park thread: with foam bottom, it is comfortable and pliable but does not allow baby to recover. It costs between 50 and 80 euros.

NB: Both parks can offer wheels and a washable rugs, and shapes (square, round, or other).
Details to know

Some things to remember:

- Bar spacing should be less than or equal to 7 cm, so that baby can not get caught its head;
- The height of the park must be greater than 55 cm (so that baby can not tip over, bending);
- The park must be stable;
- For net pens, you should know that when baby looks through the mesh, it hard to distinguish what he observes.
If you buy a used playpen

Be vigilant! The park must conform to standards and be in good condition. If folding systems are damaged (rusted, stuck, twisted …), go your way. Also verify that the park is clean, especially if mesh and canvas. Note that it is anyway necessary to disinfect. And finally, test the stability of the item before buying it.
How to install the baby in the park?

The ideal age to put baby in the park is around 8-9 months. That’s when baby starts to move and play alone.
You can install the park in all parts of your home. Preferably close to your living room. Baby is so safe while you go about your day. Continue talking to him from time to time, even if you do not mind him baby will receive the care they need.

If baby does not turn around again, raise his head and block, possibly with a pillow. Place a blanket at the bottom if you find it a bit hard. You can also protect the bars with a padded playpen.

If your baby knows to turn, let the bottom of the park emerged that the baby is up to his movements.

Note: do not forget the toys: an arch of awakening, rattles … and of course the baby blanket. It may play well but also sleep.
