In addition to the one described above, which is probably the most widespread for cost reasons alone, other forms of storage have established themselves in various large cities in Germany that rely on a vehicle that is specially reserved for premature, newborn, infant or obstetric emergencies.

Baby ambulance

In more and more cities in Germany there is a baby ambulance (Baby-NAW). This special form of the ambulance is only intended for transporting newborns with the incubator. The Baby-NAW is staffed with at least one paramedic and a pediatric emergency doctor, often with a pediatric nurse. Accordingly, all of the equipment is specially designed for children (e.g. size of the intravenous cannulas , suction pump, etc.).

Stork wagon

In Berlin, as in other cities, so-called stork wagons have become established, which are specially equipped for obstetric emergencies and are manned by a midwife in addition to the rescue specialist.
