Therefore, the carrycot is an excellent alternative to hiring a babysitter, and will save your time and money.
When selecting a carrycot choose one that has a sturdy frame designed for easy mobility and that is able to fold easily. It should also be lightweight to ensure it's easily transported and stored, and have a canopy that offers protection from the sun. To ensure your baby's safety it is recommended to choose an infant carrier made of top-quality fabrics that have flame retardant fillings.
A quality carrycot should have a comfortable mattress which is typically filled with polyurethane foam for maximum support and comfort. There are designs that have adjustable levels to be able to accommodate your growing baby and ensure maximum comfort.

It's also important to determine whether the seat has a reversible seat liner or footmuff, which is extremely soft, showerproof and can be used during colder weather.
Choose a stroller with a spacious basket that's accessible from the main seat and has plenty of pockets for shopping. Consider a changing bag to help you stay organized when you go out. Many brands provide matching changing bags, or you can choose a tote bag or backpack that sits neatly on the stroller frame.
The footmuff
