Carrycots

Carrycots for newborns – comfortable and safe right from birth

A carrycot is a light, portable bassinet that is usually equipped with handles or a carrying strap and can be attached to the frame of a stroller or pushchair. In the first months after birth, it offers your baby a safe, stable spot when you discover the world on your walks and excursions.

Stable hard carrycot or soft carrycot?

Whether you opt for a stable carrycot that is firmly attached to the frame of the stroller or rather a soft carrycot that is simply placed on the regular seat unit of the pushchair and attached there depends entirely on your personal preferences. Both versions can be purchased individually, in a practical complete set with a pram or pushchair frame or as part of a comprehensive travel system. Either way, a carrycot offers your baby a lot of comfort to rest and relax.

Hard and stable carrycots are somewhat more expensive than soft carrycots, but they offer the advantage that they form a compact, small unit with a canopy, mattress and spacious lying surface as well as a wind protection cover. That way, your baby is well protected in any weather without much effort or additional parts. Carrycots are usually mounted on the frame of the pram or pushchair using adapters that are available separately or are included in the set already. In addition, some models are even suitable for being used in the car and ensure your baby a healthy, flat lying position on every car journey. The disadvantage of carrycots is their relatively high weight, which is less suitable for carrying them over longer distances.

Soft carrycots are the cheaper alternative to hard carrycots. They are characterised above all by their light weight and more flexible use. They are securely fastened with safety connectors and / or by using belt slots – that way, there is nothing standing in the way of a ride on uneven terrain. Soft carrycots do not have a canopy (the canopy of the pushchair’s seat unit already fulfils this function), but these carrycots are usually equipped with a padded head and neck area and thus offer your baby optimal support and protection. A circumferential zipper ensures that you can easily put your little one into the carrycot and lift them out of it again. Some soft carrycots can even be converted into a footmuff. As soon as your baby has grown out of the carrycot, you can continue to use it as a super convenient footmuff instead for some time.

If you do not purchase your soft carrycot or hard carrycot as part of a set, you should definitely get some info about the compatibility of these products with your stroller and whether you need to purchase additional adapters for secure attachment before you buy one of these items.
