Tip of the Week: Beat the Heat!

We've been enjoying a warm Chicago summer, but with the sun comes the heat, which can be a challenge with a little one strapped among all of the padding and straps of their strollers and car seats. As I tell the mother’s in my stroller fitness class, a quick way to ensure that your child is comfortable is to wrap a small, soft lunch-box size ice pack in a towel and place it in the stroller with them. The ice pack should be wrapped securely so it can't touch your babies skin or interfere with the safety of the straps. I've found this to be an easy and inexpensive way to "air condition" your child’s stroller and beat the summer heat!
