Are air ionizers good for newborns and how to choose a good ionizer? Choosing a humidifier for children: which one is better? Children's air purifier

When a small child appears in the family, parents pay attention to such moments that they had not thought about before. Take at least the atmosphere in an ordinary city apartment. Dust, pet hair, plant pollen are added to street dirt and smog at home. Another unfavorable factor is central heating - heating devices reduce the humidity in the room to levels that cause dry skin, hair and mucous membranes. The same winter problem can provoke the development of allergies (the risk is especially great for the smallest family members with weak immunity).

Humidifiers for the apartment

An effective solution to this issue is humidifiers and air purifiers - modern multifunctional devices that allow you to maintain an optimal microclimate in the apartment.

Features of air humidifiers for the apartment:

They can turn on and off automatically.
They give a sound (light) signal when the tank runs out of water.
Some models are equipped with an air ionization function.
Ultrasonic humidifiers, using a high-frequency generator, create cold steam that is fed to the atomizer.
The devices are easy to manage.

It is enough to pour water into the container and plug the plug into the socket, setting the desired operating mode on the panel.

Air purifiers for the apartment

Air purifiers are used to absorb the smallest particles of dust, wool, unpleasant odors (including tobacco smoke). A special fan draws in polluted air, which, after several stages of purification, re-enters the apartment.

In the Obstetrics store you will find humidifiers and air purifiers from Philips-Avent, Miniland, Babymoov, Nuk, Mamamn, Chicco. The ergonomic design of the devices will allow them to fit into any room according to the style of decoration.

Taking care of the most important family members

A feature of most apartments is the dryness of the air. This problem is especially acute in the autumn-winter period, when the heating is running at full capacity. The off-season itself is a rather “treacherous” time of the year and everything must be done to provide proper support to the body. Most often, such climate changes adversely affect the health of children and the duty of adults to take all possible measures to protect the growing body.

Humidifiers for a children's room are modern installations that allow you to control and keep the level of humidity in the room at the proper level.

What kind of humidifiers can I buy for a child's room

The online store "Heart" presents the following types of devices:

Traditional. The increase in moisture level occurs due to the release of moist air flow. Such a device is good because the system itself controls the need for such emissions. If the built-in hygrostat notes that the moisture level is within the normal range, the device will temporarily stop working.
Ultrasonic. Such a device by means of ultrasonic action, as it were, "breaks" the liquid into small particles, transforming it into the smallest granules. Such models of devices for humidifying a child's room are especially popular for arranging a bedroom for babies, as they work almost silently. The second reason for popularity: many manufacturers are expanding the functionality of the device by adding an air disinfection function to it.
Steam . The simplest and most unpretentious type of humidifier. The liquid, heating up and transforming into steam, exits through special compartments.

Please note that not every children's air purifier-humidifier can work with plain water. Some models require the use of filtered fluid. This is due to the fact that untreated water has a number of impurities that, passing through the cartridges or drums of the structure, can remain and cause breakage.

You can't buy health, but...

Our online store has a large selection of different models. The price of a children's air humidifier depends on the chosen model and, believe me, it is fully justified.

Each order in the "Heart" is accompanied by delivery. If you have organizational or technical questions, please contact our consultants. They will professionally answer your questions and help you make the right choice.

In an apartment where children live, it is especially important to create a favorable microclimate. After all, a small fragile organism is more responsive to dry or too humid air. In accordance with GOST 30494-96, temperatures up to +23 degrees at a relative humidity of 60% are favorable. You can measure the humidity in a room with a hygrometer. And if its performance is different, you should think about purchasing modern devices that will help stabilize the microclimate - an air purifier or humidifier.

Signs of an unfavorable microclimate in the children's room

The baby is in a bad mood - pay attention, perhaps the air in his room is polluted and dry

The baby cannot fall asleep for a very long time and sleeps shallowly.
There are frequent infectious diseases, a decrease in the immune system.
The appearance of allergies.
Appetite decreases.
The appearance of a runny nose, hoarseness of voice.
Redness of the skin and its peeling.

In a room where humidity indicators are far from normal, bacteria and microorganisms appear, dust mites multiply intensively, mold and fungus form. All these "unnecessary residents" can provoke not only respiratory diseases, but also cause serious diseases of the respiratory system - asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, allergies.

Air purifier for a children's room: characteristics of modern devices

An air purifier for a children's room is used to protect a small crumb from the negative effects of toxic substances that can enter the air both from the street and form indoors. When choosing a product, you should give preference to the model that has the maximum amount of functionality. There are different types of cleaners that work based on:

HEPA filter: An effective device for removing dust. A feature of such devices is the presence of replaceable filters that purify the air with an efficiency of up to 99.9%. With its help, even the smallest dust, which is the most unsafe for the baby, is eliminated from the room;
Photocatalytic Filter: An effective device to eliminate microorganisms, tobacco smoke, exhaust gases. In the air of any room there are chemicals. For example, formaldehydes emitted by furniture, plastic products, finishing materials; exhaust gases entering the premises located near the road; chemicals emitted by enterprises. With the help of a photocatalytic filter, purification takes place at the molecular level: chemical harmful substances decompose into safe components and are neutralized with the help of an oxidizing agent that forms on the surface of the photocatalytic filter under the influence of ultraviolet radiation;
air ionization: in urban conditions, negative ions are discharged by concrete walls, asphalt, and the presence of a large number of vehicles. Such air is "dead". As a result, babies do not receive the healthy ions that the sun and fresh air provide them. They become more lethargic, get tired quickly. The ionization function fills the air with vital ions, charges the small organism with energy.

Important! For the effective use of an air purifier, preference should be given to a device that is equipped with a HEPA and phytocatalytic filter and has an air ionization function. For example, the Maxion DL-140 model, which is ideal for a children's room up to 20 m2; model Atmos-Maxi-111 - for rooms from 20 m2 to 60 m2; model AiC AP1103 / AP1101 - for a room up to 70 m2.

Options for choosing a cleaner for a child's room

air filtration method. The ideal option is a device with multi-level purification: elimination of dust, pet hair, microorganisms, fungal spores, bacteria, chemicals.
The area of the room in which the device will be used: the filter installed in the device is designed for a certain area.
Frequency of maintenance: the air washer will have to be maintained daily, adding and changing water; for the photocatalytic filter, the purifier based on the Hera filter, the ionizer purifier will require maintenance once a month; The electrostatic filter needs maintenance at least once every 7 days.
Frequency of use of the device: all models are designed for round-the-clock use.
The presence of additional functions: automatic shutdown, backlight, humidity control, etc.
Noise level: acceptable indicators for a person in accordance with sanitary standards are 40 dB. But, such a device is very noisy at night. That is why many manufacturers manufacture equipment with a noise level of 20-25 dB.

Important! When choosing a purifier, preference should be given to a device with an ionization function that will help “revive” the air in the room.

Humidifier and air purifier for the children's room: a device with a double effect

Modern humidifiers have the function of a purifier, while the device may belong to one of the types on the market:

ultrasonic, which are equipped with a special ultrasonic membrane that splits water into tiny particles. The device is equipped with an antibacterial filter that can trap harmful components in the air;
traditional, which allow you to humidify the air in the room to the required performance and clean it from dust;
steam, which, using the process of boiling water, fill the room with moisture and eliminate harmful substances.

Installing the device in the children's room

The humidifier-air purifier must be installed in a place inaccessible to children.
The placement site must be level and firm.
You can install the device at a height of 1 m from the floor level. There are models that can be hung on the wall or placed on a shelf.
It is necessary to place the device at a distance of 1.5 m from the heating devices, creating a water curtain.

Important! The device must be installed in such a way that it does not pose a threat to the little tomboy: safety first.

Benefits of a Humidifier-Air Purifier

Disadvantages of using a humidifier

If used incorrectly, they can have the opposite effect: without a hygrometer, it is very easy to re-moisten the room.
Improper placement can lead to a loss of aesthetics of the wallpaper: moist air should not be directed to the wall, furniture or indoor plants.
The use of ultrasonic devices can lead to white deposits on furniture: distilled water should be used.

Humidifier-purifier in the children's room, as well as in the apartment, is able to create a beneficial microclimate for the body. Therefore, along with the "dowry" for the baby, you should also worry about purchasing the necessary device.

It is worth buying a humidifier in the children's room so that the kids get sick less often and feel good all day. Before purchasing a specific model, you should learn more about the device.

Humidifiers - the benefits and harms

Doctors confirm that humidifying the air in the house is important, especially for young children. Why do you need a humidifier for a child:

The baby's body generates a lot of heat, while losing fluid. If the home air is too dry, then the baby's sweating increases, the blood thickens, which is harmful for him.
Dryness in the house reduces the immunity of the baby over time, and the child can easily get sick with bronchitis, rhinitis, pneumonia.
If you believe the reviews, then moisturizing the air helps to solve the problem of dry eyes.

The device has many advantages. However, before you buy one for your home, it is worth knowing what the benefits and harms of a humidifier are. Minuses:

The release of hot steam to the outside (for certain models), which can cause burns to the child.
Room temperature may rise when heaters are used together with a humidifier.
Traditional models are dangerous because microorganisms and viruses are collected on them.
Ultrasonic devices are capable of ejecting chemical elements along with the liquid, which are deposited on the furniture and walls of the child's lungs.

It is recommended to use distilled water to avoid adverse health effects. It is better to choose equipment with a hygrostat and a display to monitor air parameters. There are contraindications for the device. Do not use the moisture generator when:

diseases of the central nervous system;
emphysema;
rheumatoid arthritis;
acute pneumonia;
cerebral circulatory disorders.

Why do you need

Customer reviews are contradictory. Some advise humidifiers, others believe that devices can harm. Experts say that if you use automatic moisture generators correctly, then there should be no problems. Why do children need a humidifier? There are several reasons to order and buy a device:

Newborn babies are not accustomed to breathing dirty dry air, it is dangerous, fraught with dehydration.
The device reduces the number of germs in the air, making it harder to catch a cold or catch a virus.
Reduces the risk of skin problems: peeling and others.
Babies sleep better when the air in the room is humidified.
Any other methods of humidification are less effective than the use of special equipment.

How to choose a humidifier for children

Modern stores offer many options for solving the problem of dryness in the house. You can purchase devices with ionization, hot or cold steam, floor and desktop. However, before buying such a device, it is worth considering the features of different models: duration of operation, power source, serviced area, and others. It is recommended that the choice of air humidifier be made taking into account the goals:

Those looking for a cheap option should consider traditional or steam models. They are easy to install and manage, are inexpensive, and do the job well.
If you are interested not only in normal humidity, but also in purification from harmful microbes, it is recommended to choose with air purity control, washing, or a climate complex.
For a large room, an ultrasonic humidifier, a climate complex will be a good purchase.
If the tap water in the house is of poor quality, and there is no desire to spend money on cleaning cartridges, you should choose steam appliances, traditional ones or a sink.
An ultrasonic device is suitable for those who are not afraid of the additional cost of cartridges.
If there is no room for a large-sized device in the room, it is worth buying an ultrasonic or steam device.
If the baby sleeps sensitively, then you need a silent option. Here you will need a climatic or ultrasonic cleaner.

How to choose a humidifier for a child's room? It should be noted that the best solution for indoor use are expensive climate complexes or ultrasonic devices. They cope well with the problem of dryness and cleaning, do not cause allergies, and are safe even for babies and patients with asthma. With the help of household equipment, it is possible to purify the air of harmful substances even in cities with a million population, with industrial enterprises.

Children are the flowers of life, they are so vulnerable at a young age that parents want to fully protect them from any dangers. In addition, the child spends more time in the home than on walks. To prevent dust and allergen problems in rooms, many doctors recommend an air purifier for a child's room. These are devices that, by pumping air through themselves, purify it from dust, mold spores, wool, fluff, microorganisms and even viruses. Few people think about it, but for 1 sq. cm of a conditionally clean floor can accumulate up to 30,000 dust particles. Most of them consist of fragments of keratinized skin, sand, soil particles, fragments of insects, cellulose and other debris. Regular cleaning will not clean the room 100% of dust, the reason is simple - vacuuming, wiping the floor with a damp cloth, sweeping raises light particles into the air, and they migrate to hard-to-reach places.

How does a baby air purifier work?

There are several types of cleaners, which can be conditionally divided into air washers, filters and ionizing filters. One of the most successful configurations is the purifier and humidifier for the nursery in one case. They have a number of advantages:

No need to buy 2 devices - the humidity in the nursery is usually low, especially in winter, when almost dry air comes in from the street, and the heating is on in the room.
Less noise - air washers and filters produce humidification in parallel with air purification. Some models are equipped with additional functions - aromatization, ionization, cleaning. All these modes can be very useful in a child's room.
The degree of air purification reaches 99.97% removal of dust, wool, pollen, mold spores and fungi.

Clean air is especially important for infants and children with allergies or asthma. Installing a purifier significantly improves sleep, reduces the number of seizures and the severity of allergic reactions. Also, these devices will make life easier with colds, during the flowering of plants, if pets live in the room. It is indispensable to use air purifiers in children's rooms if your cottage or apartment building is located near roads and highways.

Another useful bonus will be a reduction in the number of cleanings, since some devices are capable of providing air exchange of the order of 200-300 cubic meters of air in 1 hour. This means that in 1 day the purifier can pass through itself about 2000-3000 cubic meters of air, which can contain about 10,000 mg of dust! The work of the purifier will make your child's room cleaner every day.

Is the purifier and humidifier safe for children?

Definitely yes! These devices do not emit harmful substances, but only filter the air passing through them. Most cleaners operate via transformer power supplies and have built-in rollover protection. They have no exposed conductive conductors and no unprotected moving parts.

Our consultants will select for you air purifiers for the children's room, taking into account the budget, room size, design and performance wishes. We understand climate equipment, so we can please not only with low prices, but also with a qualified selection of cleaners for the children's room.
