Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for your comment – we’re glad you liked the article! The best place to ask for recommendations on strollers that are safe for sleeping is your pediatrician. They will have a better sense of the options, since there are always new strollers on the market. I hope this helps!

Hi Preshinie,
Thank you for checking out The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry to hear you’re having so much trouble getting your baby down for naps. This is a hard age, with the 4 month sleep regression and several milestones interrupting sleep. At this age, you can start some gentle sleep coaching to improve independent sleep. First, we have an article about sleep associations that may be helpful for you here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/sleep-association/

And then, we have an article series all about sleep coaching, including methods you can use with your baby at home: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/sleep-training-from-no-cry-to-cry-series-part-1/

I’d also recommend having a look at our sample 4 month-old schedule, just to check in that your naptimes and bedtime at home are on the right track: https://www.babysleepsite.com/schedules/4-month-old-schedule/

I hope this helps – good luck!

Hi @Amy – Thanks for writing to us, and sorry to hear that your toddler has a tough time sleeping on the go! My son was the same way, and with a sibling that was 10 years older than him, I was in a similar situation! Some babies/toddlers are just not great at sleeping on the go, and you may have to have short naps sometimes, and offer two on that day, arrange as many carpools as you can, and possibly adjust the older child’s schedule (when you can!) to allow as many naps at home as you can! We can’t really force your toddler to take good naps in the car or stroller, but you can try and make it as comfortable as you can for her, with a favorite sleep pillow, lovey, or blanket, and minimize outside distractions as much as you can, so that she may be able to relax as much as she can and sleep a little! Do your best with what you can do! I hope that things smooth out and good luck!

Hi @Ying – Thanks for writing to us! Many babies have a tougher time with napping on the go! He may not want to miss out on anything fun while out and about! Having a cover over the crib, to minimize distractions may help! Our free nap guide may help too: https://www.babysleepsite.com/free-baby-nap-guide/
Good luck and contact us if you need more help!

I’d like to train him to nap in places other than his bed. Could you recommend how to go about doing that? Thanks!

Hi Veronika,
Thank you for checking out The Baby Sleep Site! You didn’t mention how old your little one is, and that does have an effect on my answer, so please feel free to write back with that info! But generally, we would recommend “pausing” going out with the stroller for a little while during sleep coaching, so that your baby catches up on missed sleep and gets on schedule, and then you can introduce the stroller again. I hope this helps!
