Your first ride home
Taking your newborn baby home from hospital is a moment to remember:
your first trip as a family. What was it like for you?
Jalil
I was so happy! Becoming a parent it’s the
start of a new life! I knew how to use the stroller.
The Bébé Confort Elea is very easy to use, especially
since my sister already had the same model."
Paul & Prune
Myles
Bringing our baby back home wasn’t
stressful at all, we were ready.
When my partner was done with the few trips
between the hospital and our home with the
various luggage and gifts, the three of us stepped
outside and we felt like it was the start of a new
life. The weather was great. We were so proud just
going around the neighborhood as a family. We had
chosen a Bébé Confort car seat for the first few
months, I found it more comfortable for the baby,
and for our first car trip it was very easy to set up,
I have to admit we had done some serious
practicing beforehand."
Jean & Joyce
Femque
It felt almost surreal to bring our baby back
home, we were so excited after all that time
spent doing and undoing the infant car seat, making
sure we’d be ready for D-day. This time there was
really someone in that seat, our baby looked so
small in it, it’s at that moment we fully realized
we were parents."

styling fashion
Creating
a new style
Every year, the Bébé Confort stylists create a new collection, taking in the latest
trends in colours and fabrics. What are the actual and developing trends, what
is suitable for babies, are there any new textile technologies that are child- and
environmentally friendly? Our styling experts share their secrets on creating
the perfect collection for your baby.
Global inspiration
"To create a new style – one that appeals to
customers - we start by immersing ourselves
in the latest trends,” says Constance Gerris,
styling consultant. “We survey and investigate
trends in design, in fashion, art, architecture,
and more. Books, magazines, webinars and
blogs are all source material. We also sharpen
our understanding with analysis from full-time
trend forecasters and, of course, with looking
what are the best-selling colors today. You must
saturate yourself with all this input. This and
our experience make us trust our feelings and
choose a selection of thosetrends that apply
most to the customer of Bébé Confort."

“We need to be creative, but we also need to
closely monitor the quality of the fabrics”, Monique
Borsboom stresses. “The fabric needs to be
comfortable and safe for children and be a perfect
fit. A car seat cover should retain that perfect
fit after you’ve cleaned it. And if there’s a way to
produce the fabrics in an environmentally friendly
way, we are only too happy to pursue this option! "

Which stroller
suits you?
stroller
You’re looking forward to it already: the long and leisurely walks with your baby.
To go out for some fresh air and coffee with your best friend; see the world
through the eyes of your child, who’s curious about his surroundings. For all these
wonderful plans, you need a stroller that best suits you. But which one should
you choose? Here are some tips.
Your stroller fits your lifestyle
Did you know that in baby’s first year, you will walk a
total of around 1,000 kilometers? So it’s important
you choose a good quality stroller that will not let
you down. Also take into consideration how you use
your stroller: in or outside the city, do you travel by
car or use public transport? What is your housing
situation? When you live in an apartment building
without a lift, it makes more sense to go for a
lightweight and compact stroller.
How do you use the stroller?
Strollers with suspension and large wheels are great
for off road walks. Urban life is best taken on in a
(compact) stroller with smaller swivel wheels to
maneuver around the crowds. A good stroller will
have swivel wheels that you can lock.
If you’re a frequent user of public transport, you’ll need
to lift and (un)fold the stroller very often. A compact,
lightweight stroller or buggy is your best choice. One
that folds quickly to a selfstanding unit, to store out of
the way on the bus. If traveling by car often, make sure
the stroller folds flat and the wheels can be removed
easily to create extra space in the car.
Make it easy on yourself
Is the pushbar adjustable in height to fit you and
your partner?
For your child’s comfy afternoon nap, check if the
stroller has a soft padded seat and a fully-flat recline
A good stroller will enable you to switch the seat
within seconds, so that your child can face you or
away from you.
Which accessories do you
need?
A sun canopy, rain cover, baby seat adapter,
footmuff and carrycot are the essential accessories
for your stroller.
Tip:
Looking for matching
accessories
like a footmuff? Get
the accessories when choosing
your stroller.
You adon’t have to wa
it on that
matching accessory
to be back in
stock when it’s cold
out and you
need it immediately
.
The stroller is an item you’ll use every day, so choose
one that’s most practical for you. Is it easy to steer?

your story
Bill, Elimviama
&O
Emma’s
first ride home
Taking your newborn baby home from hospital is a moment to remember: your
first trip as a family. What was it like for you?
I never expected it to be such a
moving experience. But for me, the car trip
home from the hospital was an unforgettable emotional
rollercoaster. And although it was more than three years
ago, I can remember it as if it was yesterday.
As we walked to the car, the nurses waved and it
seemed as though we were still under their expert
guidance. Everything was right in the world. We had
a beautiful little girl. I was taking her home. And my
husband was by my side. But the instant I closed the
car door, it struck me like lightning: “Wow, I’m taking
this tiny human home with me. I’m responsible now.
Responsible for feeding her, changing her nappy,
bathing her, dressing her… But I’ve had no
training! No one has even asked
if I am capable. Yet I’m totally
responsible!”
The clunk of the car door shutting seemed to
have disconnected me with the hospital, and I was
overwhelmed with a totally unexpected feeling of
being alone. Fortunately, my husband Bill was, as always,
perfectly at ease with everything. And as we pulled out
of the car park, Bill turned and smiled at me, he put his
hand on my knee and said: “It’s just you, me and Emma
now.” “Exactly!” my brain screamed. “It is just us. And
you’ve had no training either! What are we doing?”
“Get a grip!” I tell myself. “This is so unlike you. Everything
is going to be OK. And how hard can it be anyway? You
don’t need training. Everything will come naturally.” I go
over all the self-reassuring arguments that I have
12
thought-up over the past months. I remind myself that
I’m probably better prepared than most other first-time
mothers. I’ve read all the books. I’ve seen the DVDs. It’s
not so hard. Slowly, confidence returns.
I pick-up Bill’s phone. There are
already plenty of photos of Emma
on there. I flip through. Mostly, she’s
sleeping and sometimes crying. But
always beautiful. A warm glow of satisfaction
and pride builds up inside. Flipping through the phone
photos there’s a close-up of Emma’s hand clutching
Bill’s finger. Such a tiny, little hand. “What if it gets trapped
in something? What if I didn’t secure her properly in the
baby seat and one of the buckles is loose and she inserts
a finger in it and it gets jammed and… What-the-heck
am I thinking? I’ve never been hysterical in my life,” I tell
myself. “Get a grip.”
I ask Bill to stop the car so I can sit next to Emma in
the back. Her face is that of a pure angel. I can’t stop
staring at her. Just looking at her makes me feel happy.
I’m no longer thinking about anything – just looking.
She was asleep the whole time during that trip back
home. I, on the other hand, had experienced my first
ever (and until now only) mild anxiety attack. But after
talking to other first-time mothers, it’s not uncommon
to feel a range of emotions when you take your first
born home in the car. So be prepared, and if it happens
to you, just get in the rear seat and stare.

dad’s story
Bill & Emma
Shopping
blues
I really don’t like shopping. I always
manage to say the wrong thing at the
wrong time – especially when my wife steps out of
the fitting room. As a result, I try not to speak. And I try
not to think about what I could be doing. I just hang
around until she’s done. I call this feeling the shopping
blues. So when she asked if we could go shopping for
baby things, alarm bells started ringing. . But fortunately,
it didn’t turn out so bad.
The first time I entered the baby shop, it gave me quite
a start. All these women with their huge round bellies
running around the shop. Like they could give birth at any
moment…
The men were invisible at first,
but looking again, I noticed they
followed the women at a short
distance.
Slowly and tentatively. Listening and nodding.
Like they were just hanging around. The shopping blues
were written all over their faces. It is good to know that
you’re not alone. I also noticed couples who were only
just pregnant. Their child-like innocence, their euphoric
mood, as they sauntered along the shelves.
That’s how we were too, my wife and I. Walking hand in
hand, like equals, gazing in wonder at the multitudes of
baby products. Laughing about the cutest baby clothes.
Have you seen these baby sports shoes? So touchingly,
endearingly sweet. I know they’re not meant for running
the marathon, but just try to control yourself when you’re
14
holding these tiny Nikes in the palm of your hand? I’ll tell
you, I couldn’t. Despite fierce protests from my wife,
my first purchase was a little dog. It had the cutest brown
eyes and lovely long soft ears and the cuddliest face
you’ve ever seen. I can just picture our child dreamily
sucking on its smooth black nose. Lightly, like a woman, I
run my fingers through the baby clothes. At least, that’s
how I imagine myself to look. In fact, it’s a little more
complicated than that. For instance, last week, I came
home with the cutest little baby summer suit. And by the
time, our baby would fit into it, summer would be long
gone. Luckily I’d kept the receipt. I should have kept the
one for the nappies as well. A nappy’s a nappy, you would
think.Well, think again.
These are the small setbacks I’ve suffered.
But I am refusing to slip back into the blues.
It’s just too much fun. So I decided
to take the best of both worlds and
combine an old hobby of mine with
a brand-new one: wheels.
In this case, wheels for the baby. Although it’s early days
yet, I have examined every available option. Carefully,
I check the carriage work. How many wheels? Three or
four? I weigh up the pros and cons of all options. How
fast can it go? What’s the maneuverability like? I carefully
check the tire profiles. How will it handle in the woods?
Or on sandy beaches? I take my new role very seriously. I
travel far and wide to visit test courses. I take buggies for
a trial run whenever I can. And all the time, my wife says
nothing. She just looks at me with a vacant stare. In fact,
it looks rather like the shopping blues.

baby feeding
Breast,
bottle or both!
If there’s one thing for sure, breastfeeding is something visceral and will have
important repercussions for your relationship with your baby. The basic idea is
to feel at ease so you can create a strong and serene bond with your newborn.
Breastfeeding, which is strongly recommended by most
professionals and various organizations, helps you create
a unique bond with your baby. It’s the best way to ward
off infections and the most natural way of developing a
baby’s sense of taste. Future mothers tend to picture it
as something innate that will happen instinctively. Indeed
it can be that easy! Or not; it all depends: a lack of milk,
for example, engorgement, cracks, or a baby who refuses
the breast. There are all sorts of situations. Make sure you
are as informed as possible to avoid too many surprises.
Always keep in mind that this is all as new to your baby
as it is to you, and that you will both need three to four
weeks to find your bearings.
The expert tips:
For breastfeeding, I recommend you
to be well prepared and to ask your
midwife for advice as you prepare for
the birth. The first time you breastfeed
is especially important and you should
get help and guidance right from the
start, and don’t hesitate to continue
this assistance once you leave hospital.

What you
need to know
about car safety
You’re off on your first trip with your baby. Exciting?
Maybe, but these tips will help you keep the travel enjoyable – and safe.
Longer rearward
facing travel
Isofix car seat: easy,
simple and safe to install
For the first 12 months (to 13 kg) your newborn travels
safest in a rearward facing seat. In an accident, the baby
car seat and seat belts will take the force of the impact
while fully supporting baby’s neck and head. Tip: keep a
sun canopy at hand in the car, you’ll need it more often
than you think. A low weight and a good handle makes a
baby car seat easier to carry.
Isofix is an internationally standardised system to install
child car seats in cars correctly without the need for car
seat belts. An Isofix car seat is fitted with two extendable
connectors which simply click onto the Isofix fitting points
in the car. You’ll find these points in between the backrest

Car installation
made easy
Group 0+(0-13 kg)
Bébé Confort Pearl
Group 1 (9-18 kg)
It sounds easy, but it’s easily done incorrectly: installing
the seat in the car. Research has shown that 80 percent
(!) of parents make mistakes in installing the car seat or
fastening their child into the seat. 20 Percent of these
mistakes endanger the life of the child in an accident.
This is why Bébé Confort seats are designed to make
installation and use as easy as possible. Some of the
innovative safety features are:
• Isofix fitting (no need for seat belts)
• Intuitive belt route (indicating on the seat the correct
and logical belt route)
• A harness system that stays open (no twisting of belts)
• Belt tensioning systems for an extra solid fit of the car seat

means your baby can travel rearward facing for longer in
the Pebble. A single base is needed to fit the Pebble and
Pearl consecutive age car seats so your child enjoys
the best Isofix safety and comfort from birth to 4 years.
After the first 12 months
By the time you celebrate your baby’s first birthday,
you will probably need a larger child car seat. But it is
highly advisable to keep your baby in the rearward-facing
position for as long as possible. Industry experts advise
that all babies younger than 12 months old (or 13 kg) must
have rearward-facing seats, but that does not mean that
babies must change to forward-facing seats at this age.
So as long as your baby’s head is positioned within the
seat shell, rearward-facing remains the safest way to
transport your baby.
That’s all for now, more safety tips in our next issue.
