Welcoming a new baby into the family is a joyous occasion filled with milestones and precious memories. One question often asked by new parents is when they can safely take their little ones outside for walks. The good news is that there's no need to wait for weeks or months before your baby can enjoy the great outdoors. As long as you follow some basic safety precautions, such as dressing your baby appropriately for the weather, you can start enjoying nature together right away.

The Benefits of Spending Time Outdoors With Your Baby

Taking your baby outside has numerous benefits, including:

  • Stimulation - Experiencing new sensations, sounds, and smells is essential for your baby's cognitive development.
  • Better sleep - Exposure to sunlight helps establish your baby's circadian rhythm, leading to improved sleep patterns.
  • Improved motor skills - Activities like rolling over, reaching, and crawling can be practised outdoors on a mat in a park, with fresh air, sunlight, and movement supporting your baby's physical development.

With parental control that can later be switched to child control, you can decide when your baby is prepared to steer and, eventually, pedal independently. So, get ready to create countless memories as you and your little one explore the great outdoors together.
