Mutsy Nexo: Ventilation in the summer - can I actually let my little one sleep in the stroller in a shade during summer?

Mel • 03 May 2022

Greetings!
I have a question about ventilation.
Namely, I haven't paid attention so far, but here's how the warmer days started, I'm interested in when I decide to let my son sleep in them, whether due to the firm fabric and lack of some ventilation mesh, I can let the child sleep in them, say in the park or on the beach.
Of course, I would always look for shade, but I'm interested in whether there is air inside when they are in a completely lying position, and with the roof stretched out.
I apologize for the lengthy question,

thanks in advance for the reply

(from original Croation:
Pozdrav!
Imam pitanje u vezi ventilacije.
Naime do sada nisam obracala pažnju, ali evo kako su krenuli topliji dani, zanima me kad odlučim pustiti sina da odspava u njima, da li s obzirom na čvrstu tkaninu i nedostatak nekakve mrežice za ventilaciju, mogu pustiti djete da odspava u njima, recimo u parku ili na plaži ako smo.
Naravno uvijek bi tražila hladovinu, al zanima me da li kad su u skroz ležećem položaju, te sa razvučenim krovićem, da li ima unutra zraka.
Ispričavam se na podužem pitanju, te
hvala unaprijed na odgovoru)

Hi, Mel,

Of course, hot temperatures can be dangerous for adults and small children alike. Ventilation is a good thing, but I wouldn't overthink it as there is always airflow in the stroller, as the front is always open. Never let your child closed in, e.g. by covering the stroller with a blanket fully, and if you let the baby sleep IN THE SHADE (never in direct sunlight), while keeping an eye on him/her, it is absolutely fine. Always use your own heart and brain, and if in a shade while not being absolutely extremely hot, it is actually healthy to sleep outside. Just be careful not to cover everything – especially with smaller kids!

Also worth mentioning are the sweat-absorbent, cooling seat liners that even more promote air-flow – e.g. Aeromoov.

Your -very berry- Eli.
