Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure sure the gear fits properly. Buy gear that's designed for specific sports and positions. Get advice from a coach or medical professional.

Answer: Whether you're purchasing new or used equipment, proper fit is among the most important considerations. Improper or ill-fitting equipment is one of the most common causes of sports-related injury. Always make safety a priority when choosing gear and avoid purchasing a cheaper item that fits poorly just to cut cost. If you're buying equipment for your young athlete, make sure they know how to correctly wear their gear in addition to making sure it fits well. Do your best to instill in them the importance of safety, and remind them that they must put on their protective gear before playing their sport. Making sure your gear is specifically designed for your activity and position will reduce your risk of injury and improve your performance. Whether purchasing new or used equipment, familiarize yourself with your sport's recommended protective gear and know what distinguishes it from examples of similar gear. For example, know the difference between a helmet designed for American football and one meant for baseball. If you're playing baseball, know the difference between a helmet and mask designed for a catcher and one meant for batting. Don't make any big investments if you're not sure you or your child will be playing a specific position. For example, if it's not set in stone that your teen will be the goalie on an ice hockey team, don't spend hundreds of dollars on goalie pads and a stick. When in doubt about proper fit and design, always consult a coach or trainer for a tutorial on how to wear gear and what a proper fit is. For kids and adults alike, it's also wise to get a checkup before signing up for any sports. A doctor will tell you how safe a particular sport is, whether you're a growing child or an adult with potential medical problems. You can also ask your doctor or coach for opinions on where to safely cut costs by buying used gear for your specific sport.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try an alternative formula. Feed your baby more often. Position your baby in a more upright position when feeding. Burp your baby while feeding and directly after. Keep the baby from moving around too much after feeding.

Answer: In some cases, reflux may result from your baby having an allergy to cow's milk formula. In that case, switching to another formula may help reduce your baby's distress. For instance, your doctor may recommend you switch to a hypoallergenic formula or a soy-based formula. Feeding more often means your baby gets a smaller amount at a time. Reflux in babies often happens because they have too much milk in their bellies, so having smaller, more frequent meals can help. When your baby is upright, gravity is working in their favor. That is, milk has less of a chance of coming back up. Keep your baby in this position directly after eating, too. Hold your baby in a position where they're sitting up and cradled in your chest. Keep them in this position for 30 minutes after eating. You can also try the curved position. Support their back with one arm and wrap it around their legs, so their calves drape over your arm. You are cradling them in a "C" position, and their upper body should be mostly upright with their head slightly elevated. Burping your baby helps them get rid of air in their stomach. With the air gone, there's more room for milk, meaning there's less of a chance of them spitting it back up. The typical way to burp a baby is to hold them with their head facing your shoulder. Make sure to have a cloth to catch spit up, and gently rub or pat the baby's back. In other words, don't bounce them up and down or move them around too much. Bouncing the baby around may worsen the effects of reflux. Burping, of course, is fine, just don't bounce the baby up and down on your knee or anything like that for about 30 minutes.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test ride a bike before you buy it. Test the weight and materials. Buy or have your bike professionally assembled.

Answer: If you can't get the bike shop to let you try a bike out, go to another shop, or borrow one from a friend. It is easier to get a bike that fits than to adjust and get acclimated to one that doesn't. Ride the bike around the block to get a good feel for it. You should feel comfortable and in control at all times. Make sure you can easily reach the handlebars and all the components, like shifters and brakes. Test the gears and brakes. See how easy it is for you to shift gears and brake quickly. The bike should be responsive and shouldn't take too much effort to adjust gears or brake. Practice turning corners. You want to be comfortable with maneuverability. Some bikes are lighter than others and require more precision when maneuvering. If you don't feel comfortable on the bike, try out other ones to find something that feels natural. No matter the type of bike, there are different weights and materials in every one. If you're looking at a mountain bike, ask about the frame weight and how it affects performance. Though mountain bikes will typically be heavier than road bikes, you may find that for you, a heavier one will be harder to operate on the terrain. Check out the quality of the suspension. Full suspension mountain bikes are meant for serious off-road riders. You may not need the best suspension of you're not solely riding over extremely rough terrain. Road bikes and touring bikes offer a lot of options in the way of frames and frame construction. The more performance-based options might use a carbon frame. Carbon is a very lightweight material that helps with performance and speed. However, carbon frames can be more expensive. The material and shape of your frame can affect your comfort and speed, but might not be necessary for your type of riding. While carbon is popular for its lightweight nature, it's easily damaged. Aluminum frames may be heavier, but are more durable and often less expensive. Get a bike with the right tires for your needs. Thinner tires, often on road bikes, are fast and lightweight. However, thinner tires aren't good on rocky terrain and puncture easily. Touring bikes have slightly thicker tires with more tread, which allows for more versatility in terrain. The tread also helps grip on wet or slippery roads. This is especially true with derailleur equipped bikes, the components that keep your chain on your bike. Having a bike built professionally ensures all the nuts and bolts are installed and tightened correctly, as well as the accessories. If you're newer to cycling, you will have an easier time getting on the road with a professionally built bike. Bike shops will ensure that your bike is properly tuned and that the wheels are properly aligned. By getting a professionally assembled bike, you will also make sure that every component, from the position of the saddle to any accessories, has been outfitted for you. A bike shop will be able to take your measurements and tailor any bike to fit your body perfectly, allowing for the best, safest riding conditions.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Contact the corporate entity, if one exists. Contact whoever you booked the hotel with. File a complaint with any relevant regulatory body.

Answer:
If onsite staff are unwilling to help, unable to help, or if you are still dissatisfied, you may want to contact the larger business entity. As the entity responsible for the branding of the business, a corporate office may be much more responsive to consumer complaints. Do an internet search on the business and look for their corporate contact information. Send an email or a letter to the appropriate person. Make sure to be polite and clearly articulate the problem or issue. Call the corporate entity and ask for customer service or the customer complaint department. Be polite and clearly explain the problem. Say something like "Hello, I was a guest at your location in Boston's Back Bay. I was extremely disappointed with the service and cleanliness offered there. I feel taken advantage of." If you booked the hotel through a travel or booking website, you may be able to complain directly to that business. Be prepared to be put on hold for potentially long periods of time when contacting booking website customer service. Clearly articulate your complaint. Have your transaction number or receipt at hand. Be able to provide evidence, such as photographs, police reports, or the names of customer service representatives at the hotel. Be aware that hotel or travel booking websites are very often unresponsive to customer complaints. This owes to their high volume and slim margins on individual transactions. If the booking business is unable to resolve your complaint, your last recourse is to post a negative review about the hotel in question on their website. Depending on your complaint, you should consider contacting the relevant regulatory body. As government agencies that oversee businesses that offer public accommodations, they'll be able to deal with and issue appropriate sanctions. If you're complaining about a health and sanitation issue, contact the local health department. Consider contacting the state or province's division or department of hotels and restaurants. If your complaint is serious enough, the licensing agent may take action or launch an investigation into the hotel in question.
