Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is among the most important baby items you'll require. There are a variety of options available but it's important to choose the right one for you and your family.

Experts recommend that babies should lie flat for the first few months, so search for a model with a fully reclined seat that can be used from birth.

Safety

When selecting a stroller, the security of your child is paramount. A reputable pushchair will feature a seat that can be reclined to a flat angle, and a five-point harness that is well-padded and has strong connections. Babys should be carried in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your stroller does not have a carrycot then you may want to consider a travel system that is a car seat and foldable pram in one.

The frame of your pushchair should be sturdy and have a wide base to avoid it tipping over easily. It is also advisable to avoid filling the back of your chair with toys or shopping bags as this can affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair has three wheels, it should have a good suspension. The wheels must be made from rubber or PU to absorb shocks. Look for brakes which are easy to operate and ensure that they're working properly before you put your baby in.

A high-quality pushchair should have a raincover that is secured with a zip and a protective lining. This will keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs come with an hood or sun canopy that can be extended to give more coverage when needed. Check that the handlebars of your pushchair can be adjusted for parents to find the most comfortable position for driving and pushing.

You might consider purchasing a footmuff that is available in most pushchairs, it keeps your baby warm and is easily removed when it gets too hot. It is an ideal idea to carry this along when you go out in cold weather or when the sun starts to shine brightly.

It is important to check that any pram, pushchair or buggy you purchase complies with British safety standards and, if it's part of a travel system also European safety standards ECE R44/04 or R129 iSize. Before you start using the pushchair stroller, be sure that you have read the instructions. It is important to teach anyone who may use it how to fold, open and secure it. When the pushchair is not in use, release all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Infants are tiny and have little strength in their necks, so they must lie flat for their comfort and to aid their breathing. A pushchair without a lie-flat seat unit is not suitable for infants or newborns, because they could fall asleep in a position that is too upright, and prevent their airways from opening fully, leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

To ensure that your child is always travelling comfortably Choose a reclining pushchair with a lie-flat seat that can be used from birth. This kind of pushchair may be referred to as a stroller, buggy or pram pushchair.

Look for features that are suitable for infants, such as the ability to lower or raise the chassis while sitting at the footrest. You can also use the seat for feeding your child. It is also worth considering buying a footmuff, which is made from soft and comfortable material and shields your child from the sun while keeping them warm and comfortable. Most manufacturers include a footmuff with their pushchair sale bundles and accessories ranges or sell them on their own.

Many parents purchase multiple pushchairs to upgrade as their baby grows. If you plan to do this, be sure to choose a lightweight pushchair that has a good suspension, a huge rear tire for rough terrain or city use and a one-handed folding design.

A travel system, which combines a car seat or carrycot with a pushchair chassis and seat unit is another great option for newborns and infants. They are ideal for long-distance travel because babies can travel safely and comfortably in the car seat or carrycot and later transferred to a pushchair when they're ready.

Style

A pushchair for newborns is one of the most important baby purchases you'll ever make, so it should be comfortable and user-friendly. Look for features such as the comfort of a cushioned seat and a movable handlebar to find the perfect position for you and your child. You'll also want to make sure it can stand up to a few bumps on the road and is sturdy enough to withstand the demands of daily use.

Newborns should be in a lie-flat position to assist with their lung and spine development, which is why it's vital to purchase a pram that can accommodate them in this flat position. This is why many prams that are 'from birth' are designed with carrycots that can be attached to the chassis so your baby is always close to you.

Some prams provide the option of a lie-flat, without carrycots and could be suitable for newborns as young as six months but you should check the specifications carefully to be certain. You can also buy a travel system that comes with car seats and is available as soon as your baby is born.

Weight

It is important to remember that a newborn baby can be quite heavy, so take a look at the weight of a pushchair or pram (with and without a carrycot) because this is an important factor to consider in case you're frequently travelling, using public transport regularly or simply want something that's easy to lift into and out of your car boot or up and down stairs.

Unlike older children, newborns have very little strength in their neck muscles, so they require to lie down flat in order to sleep. Expert advice suggests that young infants should not travel long distances in pushchairs which do not provide this option since they may experience breathing issues because of the scrunched-up position. This is an important risk factor that can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pram or pushchair is suitable for babies from birth and many models come with the option of adding the carrycot, which is perfect for newborns, particularly those who are tiny. Certain brands also offer a range of different pram and pushchair combinations or 'travel systems' which include both the carrycot and seat unit and adapters for your car seat, so you can use them both from the beginning.

A twin pushchair with two seats on either side is perfect for twins or siblings who want to be together. These are heavier than single pushchairs because they need to accommodate seats as well as baby carriers.

If you're a frequent traveller by public transport, or live in an area with limited space, a light buggy is the best option. You should also check how compactly the babiie stroller or buggy can fold and whether it can fit through the doorways of your home.
