Whether it's on a neighbourhood walk, in the park or at the seashore or right in your own back yard, opportunities to experience nature can stimulate an infant's senses -- and breathing fresh air is good for everyone! You might be surprised at how encounters with nature can fascinate and teach your baby. Share the excitement of new sights, smells and sounds with your baby on nature explorations.

Spread a blanket in the backyard and let your baby observe nature from ground level. The feel of the grass, the rough bark of a tree, the perfumed smell of the garden will all be interesting. Lay back and look at the sky and the cloud formations together. Encourage touching as you explain what the baby is looking at and feeling. Nurse the baby outdoors under the shade of a tree, or let him practice rolling over and crawling from your spot on the blanket. Your infant will enjoy this mini-exploration in safe and comfortable place just steps from the house, while keeping your Baby Buggy cum stroller handy.

As the baby becomes accustomed to outdoor experiences you can continue to explore nature further from home. Take a hike or spend an hour in the park, at the zoo or in a local botanical garden. If there's a pool near your home, go for a swim together. Slather your little one with protective sunscreen and add a hat, then dip in together with the baby securely in your arms. This is a new sensory experience for the infant: cool water on the skin, warm sunshine and the comfort of being held through it all lovingly in your arms where they feel safe. Natural outdoor experiences should come in small doses for infants, so start slowly and keep your outings to a reasonably short time.

Another way to get them to use their senses and develop them is to take them out on drives around the block etc. Custom made Car Seat   for infants are your friends in these explorations. Strap on the little one and zoom around town. Let the little one see the big beautiful world outside of the house and enjoy the various sights and sounds. 

Some babies fall asleep almost before you're out of the driveway, but others won't spend five happy minutes in their car seats. Usually, this is because your baby is used to more freedom of movement and more physical attention than you can provide when she's belted into her seat. Even if it's difficult to deal with, remember that you and your baby's safety are most important. Parents sometimes take a crying baby out of the car seat, which is extremely dangerous and makes it even more difficult for the baby to get used to riding in the car seat.
