Parenting your little kid is fun, even when you are called by the child's natural needs to change his/her diapers every two hours. The soft touch of the baby's fresh and tender skin brings a joy unsurpassed by anything in life. It's like you are nurturing your own second appearance in the world! The delicacy of your baby's skin often renders him/her subject to increased risk of infection, especially in public places where infectious germs are always lurking to infiltrate the baby's defense line against diseases.
No need to puzzle. I am talking about the risk of catching infection to which a baby is exposed while his/her diapers are changed in public restrooms like those available in shopping malls or airports. Catharine Shaner, a pediatrician at the American Safety and Health Institute, has warned against placing a child's bare bottom on any public diaper-changing table or on floor unless you are able to disinfect the area yourself. Now that sounds like impossibility, isn't it? Yes, unfortunately it is next to impossible to disinfect a pubic area and the time and effort needed can be afforded by very few of us. So how to reduce the risk of infection from disease-causing germs like bacteria and rotavirus in public places?
The solution has been worked out by Abiie, LLC, manufacturers of quality parenting products. The latest Abiie Stroller for carrying babies is equipped with a simple, yet wonderful, facility: a foldable, built-in diaper-changing platform. This diaper-changing table is part of the baby's seat in the stroller and it will allow parents or caregivers to change their baby's diapers anytime anywhere without waiting for their turn in public restrooms. Also, it will minimize the risk of the baby's catching infection from a public changing-table. All that the parent/guardian need to do is just carry a few clean diapers and a small disinfectant bottle to cleanse the small platform; a matter of 5 minutes at most. Abiie Stroller is scheduled to come out in the market in March 2008 and caring parents are eagerly looking forward to the moment.
