Ingane iyeza maduze futhi uzibuza ukuthi uzothenga ini nokuthi ufake ini ohlwini lokuzalwa? Ukulala, ukudla, ukushintsha, ukugeza, ukuthutha… Nazi izinto zokunakekelwa kwezingane okufanele utshale kuzo ungangabazi unyaka wokuqala wengane. 

Okuthokomele 

Okuthokomele yinto yokuqala oyodinga ukuhambisa ingane emotweni lapho ushiya isigceme sokubeletha. Lesi sihlalo esimise okwegobolondo sivumela ingane ukuthi ithuthwe ku-stroller noma emotweni kusukela izelwe kuze kube ingane inesisindo esilinganiselwa ku-13 kg (cishe eneminyaka eyizinyanga eziyi-9/12). Imvamisa ithengiswa nge-stroller, enye imishini ebalulekile lapho ulungiselela ukuba ngabazali. 

Umcibisholo 

Ukukhethwa kohamba ngezinyawo kuzoncika endleleni ophila ngayo ngakho-ke kunemigomo eminingi: uma uhlala edolobheni noma emaphandleni, uma uhlela ukuhamba nosana ezweni noma ehlathini noma edolobheni kuphela, uma uhambahamba ngemoto noma ngezinto zokuhamba zomphakathi , njll. Ngesikhathi sokuthenga, chaza yonke imibandela yakho kumthengisi ukuze sikwazi ukukunikeza amamodeli (ama) alungele wena (yonke indawo, idolobha, ukukhanya, ukugoqeka kalula, okuhlangene kakhulu, okuthuthukayo…).

I-carrycot, yamamodeli athile, ingasetshenziselwa ukuhambisa ingane emotweni nasesihlalweni sokuhambahamba, kepha qaphela ukuthi isikhathi sayo sokusetshenziswa sifushane nokuthi ngeke usayisebenzisa isikhathi eside (kufika ku-4 kuya ku Izinyanga eziyi-6). Inzuzo yayo ngaphezu kokuthokomele? I-carrycot inethezeke ngokwengeziwe ngakho-ke ifaneleka ngokwengeziwe ukulala kwengane phakathi nohambo olude ngemoto. Uyacelwa uqaphele ukuthi, akuyona yonke imithwalo engasetshenziswa ukuhambisa izingane ngemoto. Kuzobe sekudingeka ukuyibeka esihlalweni sayo semoto ngaphambi kokuyifaka esikhwameni sayo sokugibela.

Ophethe ingane noma indwayimane 

Kuyasebenziseka kakhulu, ophethe ingane kanye nokujikijela okuphethe kukuvumela ukuthi ugcine ingane isondele kuwe ngenkathi izandla zakho zikhululekile. Phakathi nezinyanga zokuqala, ezinye izingane zithanda ukuthwalwa ngaphezulu kunezinye ngoba iphunga, imfudumalo nezwi labazali babo kuyabathoba. Ukusetshenziswa isikhathi eside, khetha ingane ethwala i-scalable, engaguquguquka ngokuya ngokukhula kwengane.  

Okuhlabiwe 

Umbhede ngokusobala ubalulekile kusukela ekuzalweni kuze kube yilapho ingane ineminyaka emibili ubudala. Khetha umbhede ohlangabezana ne-NF EN 716-1 ejwayelekile futhi ifakwe isisekelo sokulungiswa kokuphakama. Ngempela, izinyanga zokuqala, ingane ayizimele yodwa, kuzofanele ubeke ibhokisi entwasahlobo ukuze ungalimazi umqolo wakho lapho ulele futhi umvusa embhedeni. Kubazali abathanda ukuthola inzuzo ephezulu ekutshalweni kwabo, khetha umbhede oshubekayo, ongaguquguquka ekukhuleni kwengane. Amanye amamodeli ombhede aguqukayo angahle alungele izingane ezineminyaka engama-6 noma engu-7 ubudala. 

Isihlalo sobukhosi 

Ngaphezu kombhede, zihlomise nangesihlalo esihlala phansi. Le nto ilusizo ekuphumuleni ingane lapho ivukile, kepha futhi ukuyenza ilale idle ingakahlali. Khetha isihlalo sobukhosi esingalungiswa ukuphakama esihlalweni esiphansi ukuze ungadingi ukugoba lapho usisetha. Isihlalo sobukhosi sivumela ingane ukuthi ivuke ngokuthola konke okuzungezile, noma ngabe isendaweni ehleli noma elele phansi. Noma kunjalo, qaphela ukuthi ungayishiyi ifakwe isikhathi eside.

Umcamelo wobuhlengikazi

Uma uncelisa, cabanga ngenduduzo yakho! Njengoba sazi, ukufakwa kahle kunomthelela ekunceliseni ibele. Zihlomise ngomcamelo wokuncelisa ongawubeka ngaphansi kwezingalo zakho noma ngaphansi kwekhanda lengane yakho ngesikhathi sokuncelisa. Ingasetshenziswa futhi njengesidleke esithokomele sokulala komntwana phakathi nosuku, phakathi namasonto okuqala (njalo bheka ingane yakho lapho ilele emqamelweni wobuhlengikazi).

Isihlalo esiphakeme

Okunye okubalulekile ekondleni ingane isihlalo esiphakeme. Ingasetshenziswa ngokushesha lapho ingane isazi ukuthi ingahlala kanjani (cishe izinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kwezi-6). Usihlalo ophakeme uvumela ingane ukuthi idle ngobude obufanayo nobabantu abadala ngesikhathi sokudla futhi umnikeze umbono ohlukile ukuthola imvelo yakhe. 

Itafula eliguqukayo lingenye yezinto ezibalulekile zokunakekela izingane okufanele utshale kuzo ngaphambi kokuzalwa kwengane. Ungathenga itafula lokushintsha wedwa noma isifuba samadilowa (sokugcina izingubo zabantwana) 2 in 1 netafula lokushintsha. Ungakhohlwa ukuzihlomisa ngomata oguqukayo ukubeka etafuleni lokushintsha. Khetha imodeli lapho ungafaka khona amakhokhethi, amanabukeni nobisi oluhlanzayo (noma i-liniment) ezinhlangothini noma kudrowa ebekwe ngaphansi kwetafula ukuze ukwazi ukufinyelela kuzo kalula lapho ushintsha. Ngoba yebo, kuzodingeka uzibambe ngaphandle kokukhipha amehlo akho enganeni futhi mhlawumbe ugcine isandla kuye. 

Njengomuntu ohamba ngezinyawo, ukukhetha ubhavu kuya ngezindlela eziningana: noma ngabe unebhavu lokugeza, indlu yokugeza noma ishawa yokuhamba.

Phakathi namasonto okuqala okuphila, usana lungagezwa kusinki omkhulu noma emgodini. Kepha ukuthola induduzo eyengeziwe, kungcono ukutshala imali ekugezeni kwengane, nge-ergonomic ethe xaxa. Kubalulekile inqobo nje uma ingane ingalubambi ikhanda futhi ingazi nokuthi ihlale kanjani. Kunamamodeli ezinyaweni ukuvikela emuva kwabazali lapho begeza. Amanye amabhavu anikezela ngomklamo oguqulwe nge-morphology yengane: afakwe i-headrest kanye ne-backrest yokuxhasa kahle ingane. Kubazali abahlonyelwe indlu yokugezela enebhavu lokugeza, isihlalo sokugeza singathandwa. Ixhasa ingane ngenkathi igcina ikhanda layo ngaphezu kwamanzi. Kancane nje uma kuqhathaniswa nobhavu, ungagcinwa kalula ngoba awuthathi isikhala.

Ekugcineni, kungenzeka futhi, uma unebhavu lokuzijwayeza, ukuzijwayeza ukugeza mahhala. Lo mzuzu wokuphumula kwengane ungaqala ezinyangeni ezimbili zokuphila kwawo.
