JUVENILE
POLLY ARMONIA
The new Polly Armonia combines contemporary design and comfort for the child: a single product that can be used from birth as a reclined cradle and then become a highchair and finally a chair. A functional product that stands out for its design and adapts to any household setting, even the most modern, thanks to the many variants and finishes available.
Polly Armonia has a fully reclining backrest and is equipped with a soft, wrap-around reducer cushion made of organic cotton and designed in collaboration with the Chicco Research Center to guarantee comfort and contain the baby from birth, providing a cosy nest. Thanks to the 6 different colours available, Polly Armonia blends perfectly into any environment. Its wood-, marble- and metal-effect finishes, each combined with a dedicated seat cushion, give the highchair a timeless, refined look.
Polly Armonia can be adjusted in height to 9 different positions, and thanks to its 4 wheels it is easily transportable to any room in the house. Once closed, it is compact and space-saving. As the child grows Polly Armonia becomes a chair approved from 3 years up to 40kg!
Also available as a separately sold accessory is a toy bar to be installed in both reclined cradle and highchair modes, designed for the psychomotor development of the child and inspired by the Montessori Method. The different shapes, materials and colours stimulate sight, hearing and touch, allowing the child to train hand-eye coordination and promoting fine motor skills thanks to the coloured balls that the child moves along the wire, encouraging attention and concentration.
NURSING NOVELTIES
PHYSIOFORMA® DUAL SOFT
Dual Soft is Chicco's new Physioforma soother, with a unique design and integrated teat that gives maximum comfort, thanks to its double softness. It is made of silicone and has a small, soft, thin shield to be even more gentle on baby's face.
Dual soft is two-coloured and is available in many different shades.
All Chicco soothers have the PhysioForma® teat: the functional anatomical shape chosen by Chicco for all its soothers, born from the collaboration between paediatricians, orthodontists, speech therapists and the Chicco Research Center. This shape adapts to the palate and maintains the physiological positioning of the tongue, high on the palate correctly stimulating the functions of the mouth.
Available in different sizes and colours
What is Physioforma?
PhysioForma® is the functional and anatomical shape chosen by Chicco for all its soothers, born from the collaboration between paediatricians, orthodontists, speech therapists and the Chicco Research Center, to promote and correctly stimulate the vital functions of the mouth, maintaining the physiological positioning of the tongue, high on the palate:
BREATHING: The special PhysioForma™ shape adheres perfectly to the palate and allows the tongue to have its own space and position itself forwards and upwards. This creates an ideal open airway that supports physiological breathing and maintains correct oxygen saturation.
SUCTION: PhysioForma trains the first of the child's vital activities: NON-NUTRITIVE SUCKING
SWALLOWING: encourages the vertical movement of the tongue on the palate by promoting the gradual transition from infantile to mature swallowing.
CHEWING: trains a physiological muscle action that, together with correct tongue position and nasal breathing, is crucial for the alignment of the teeth and, consequently, for the quality of mastication.
PHONATION: its shape favours the physiological position and mobility of the tongue and the regular alignment of the teeth. All this is preparatory to the development of correct language articulation.
Physioforma can, therefore, have a positive impact on the development of the mouth and its functions, as it allows the tongue to position itself correctly, thus ensuring harmonious development of the palate and correct stimulation of all its parts.
PHYSIOFORMA™: the unique and exclusive shape of Chicco soothers
STIMOLATTE BREAST PUMP
Chicco's new Stimolatte Breast Pump is a product full of innovation thanks to the new cup that bio-mimics the natural movement of the baby's mouth during breastfeeding and can be rotated up to 180°.
The cup is 100 per cent silicone and, thanks to its construction using bi-injection technology, has parts with different thicknesses: thicker silicone for the cup structure and 'non-massage areas' (transparent area) and thinner silicone to allow targeted physiological massage (pink areas).
Each part of the cup represents a specific area of the child's mouth: the pink petals represent the tongue and cheeks, and the transparent area the palate. When using the breast pump, all parts of the cup mimic the movements of the baby's mouth, actively and gently massaging the part of the breast in contact with the pink 'petals'.
Thanks to the possibility of rotating the cup up to 180°, Stimolatte is able to simulate the effect of the 3 main natural breastfeeding positions thus emptying the 4 main quadrants.
Stimolatte offers 3 modes of use (stimulation, standard expression and intense expression) and 10 intensity levels to be selected as needed. Rotation and 'no-massage areas' ensure that the most delicate or painful areas are spared.
How it works:
After about two minutes of stimulation Stimolatte automatically switches to the standard expression phase. Intense expression, on the other hand, is suitable for mothers who are already breastfeeding, or for those who need to empty their breasts more thoroughly.
Stimolatte has a modern design that makes its use even more functional thanks to a small motor that can be quickly recharged via USB cable. With a full charge Stimolatte can be used for about 150 minutes at average levels and a full charge is achieved in 4 hours.
It is easy and intuitive to use thanks to battery, usage time, mode and intensity indicators, and automatically switches off after 30 minutes of use.
