A baby carrier that makes cuddles comfortable in summer

Summer in Japan is hot and humid.
While holding the baby, each other's body heat is transferred, making both mom and dad even hotter.

Babies are not yet able to regulate their body temperature very well, so you need to take great care of them.

We will introduce points to be careful of when holding your pet in the summer, such as heat and stuffiness, as well as tips for surviving the summer comfortably.

What should I be careful about when hugging in summer?

When it comes to managing your health in the summer, the first thing that comes to mind is heatstroke. If your face turns red or your breathing becomes rapid, these are warning signs.
Pay close attention to your baby's condition, and if there are any abnormalities, take immediate action.

If you leave your sweat untreated, you may develop skin problems such as heat rash. You must take care to prevent your clothes from getting stuffy by wiping your sweat frequently and making sure the air can pass through them.

Also, the summer sun is too harsh on a baby's thin and sensitive skin.
Take care such as avoiding direct sunlight and using sunscreen designed for babies.

Heat stroke and problems caused by sweat can occur not only when you are out and about, but also at home, so be careful.

What kind of baby carrier do you recommend?

Comfort will also vary depending on the material of the baby carrier.

Recommended items are mesh, which is smooth and doesn't get sticky, and cotton, which absorbs sweat.

It's good to keep it clean if you can wash it completely or remove the parts to wash it!
Quick-drying materials are convenient because they dry quickly after washing.

It is also important to choose products that are easy to put on and take off.

If you can quickly put it on and take it off, you can avoid situations where you get sweaty even before you hold it or just by taking it down.

We also recommend using a hip seat carrier that allows for relatively low contact with mom and dad.

It would be helpful to have a hood to protect your head from the sun and a pocket for storing ice packs.

Can you combat the heat by using a baby carrier?

One way to deal with the heat is to put your baby down from time to time instead of holding them all the time.
Let's move away from each other and allow both mom and dad to cool down while wiping their sweat.

For this reason, it is important to choose a baby carrier that is easy to put on and take off, and that will not put a burden on you when carrying your baby.

We also recommend using the hip seat alone!

Although you can't free up your hands like you would with a baby carrier, you can easily put the baby down and the baby won't get too hot while being held because the tightness is low.

Please use it wisely depending on your baby's age and situation.

What are some extra useful goods?

A cape, which is worn over the baby's body, is useful for shade from the sun, and can also be used as a cooling measure when indoors. Some products also have UV protection effects.

Water-repellent clothing can be used as protection from the rain, but you may also be concerned about stuffiness during hot weather, so choose one that has some degree of breathability.

Recently, handheld electric fans have become a must-have item for summer.

Some senior mothers keep a gauze towel on their back and change it when their child gets wet from sweat to prevent problems such as sweat rash.

We recommend it because it's easier than changing clothes, and it's not bulky, so you can carry around a few spares so they don't add up to your luggage.

To prevent sunburn and heatstroke, it is important to protect your baby's head from the sun with a hat or hood, and use sunscreen designed for babies.

Using a parasol may help mom avoid the sun too.

Which baby carrier is recommended for summer?

Baby and Me's hip seat carrier has a structure that allows you to hold your baby at an appropriate distance without getting too close to them, so it is comfortable to use even in hot weather because it prevents heat from building up.

The carrier parts that cover and support the baby's body are made of mesh when you flip up the cover on the baby's back (when held face-to-face), so they are highly breathable. It is popular as a countermeasure against heat and stuffiness.

It is also recommended to hide an ice pack between the mesh part and the cover.
Wrapping the ice pack in gauze will prevent certain parts of your body from getting too cold and will prevent water droplets from getting wet on your clothes or baby carrier.

One of the benefits of Baby and Me products is that you can remove the carrier parts and use just the hip seat.

In order to survive the hot summer, it is important to make various efforts, but you can gain an advantage by checking the structure and function when choosing a baby carrier.
