Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A baby Mobility pushchair is one of the most essential baby items that you will require. There are a variety of options available, but it is important to choose the right one for your family.

Experts advise that infants be able to lay flat in the first few months. Look for a model that has a fully reclined seat that can also be used from birth.

Safety

When selecting a stroller, the safety of your child is the most important consideration. A quality pushchair should feature a seat that can be reclined to a flat angle, and a five-point harness well-padded and has strong connections. Babys should be carried in a carrycot and not in the main seat. If your pushchair doesn't include a carrycot, then you might want to think about an alternative travel system that is composed of a car seat and a pram.

The frame of your pushchair should be stable and have a broad base to avoid it tipping over easily. Do not overload the back of your pushchair with bags of shopping or toys since this can impact its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels, it should have a good suspension. The wheels should also be made from rubber or PU in order to absorb shocks. Look for brakes that are easy to operate and ensure whether they're functioning properly before you strap your child in.

A high-quality pushchair should have a raincover which is secured with a zipper and has a protective lining, which will help keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy, or the hood, which can be extended to give more coverage. You should also check whether your child's pushchair has a handlebar that is adjustable for parents so you can get the most comfortable position for pushing and driving.

The majority of pushchairs come with an infant footmuff to keep your baby warm. It can be removed if the temperature becomes too hot. This is a great idea to have on hand while out and about, particularly in cold weather.

Check that the pushchair buggy, or pram you purchase meets British safety standards. If it is part a travel system, check whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 and R129. Make sure you've read the entire instruction and show anyone who may use the pushchair how to fold, open and secure it before they start using it. Make sure you unlock all locking devices when the pushchair isn't in use.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and have a very weak strength and therefore, they need to lie flat to feel comfortable and to breathe. A pushchair which doesn't have a seat that can lie flat isn't appropriate for infants or newborns since they can sleep in a position that is too high and could block their airways from opening fully, leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Select a stroller that reclines with seats that can be used flat from birth. This type of pushchair is usually called pram and travel system, but it is also referred to as a buggy or stroller.

In addition to a lie-flat unit, be sure to look for other features that are suitable for babies, such as the ability to raise or lower the chassis from the footrest and a spacious seat with 3 in 1 pram adjustable height positions. You can even use it while feeding your baby or toddler. Consider purchasing a footmuff made of soft, comfortable material which shields your child from the sun and keeps them warm. Most brands include a footmuff in their range of pushchairs and accessories or sell them separately.

Many parents decide to purchase multiple pushchairs, and then upgrade them as their child grows. If you're planning on doing this, make sure to select an easy-to-use pushchair that has excellent suspension and a large rear tyre that can handle rough terrain and city use and a simple to fold design that can be folded with one hand.

Travel systems that combine a car seat, carrycot or pushchair chassis with a seat unit and chassis are a great choice for infants and toddlers. These are perfect for long trips because babies can be carried safely and comfortably in a car seat or carrycot, and then moved to a pushchair sale when they're ready.

Style

A baby pushchair is one of the biggest purchases you'll make for your baby. It should be easy to use and comfortable. Consider features such as a comfortable seat padding and a handlebar that can be adjusted so that you can choose the right position for you and your baby. You'll want to make sure it is able to take a few bumps on the road, and is durable enough for everyday use.

It is important that you choose a pram that is able to be able to accommodate your newborn in this position. This will assist in helping their spinal and lungs develop. This is why many prams 'from birth' come with a carrycot that can be connected to the chassis, ensuring that your newborn is always close to you.

Check the specifications to ensure. Some prams come with a lie-flat option without carrying cots. They might be suitable for babies up to six months old. Alternately, you can purchase a travel system which usually comes with an infant car seat and is ready to go as soon as your baby is born.

It's great for keeping eye contact and for bonding, says parent tester Jaya. It can be used with the car seat, carrycot, and seat attachments for the unit. This makes it an excellent option for traveling with a baby.

There's a wide selection of styles, colours and prints to suit your home or nursery decor But be sure to stay clear of anything too bright that might distract your baby. You'll likely be using your pushchair for many years so it's worthwhile to invest in a model that you will love for many years later.

It has a smooth curved shape that gives your newborn a luxurious feel. It also has an infant carrycot. This is a popular model for parents looking for an urban-friendly, compact stroller and it has some additional features like a handy cup holders.

Weight

Whether you're in search of a light pushchair for newborns or a bigger model that can be used by toddlers There are a lot of choices. It is important to remember that a baby born today can be quite heavy so consider the weight of a pushchair or pram (with and without a carrycot attached) as this is an important aspect to consider if you're travelling a lot or use public transport frequently or just want something easy to carry in and out of your car boot or up and down stairs.

In contrast to older children, newborns have a weaker strength in their neck muscles so they need to be able to lie flat to sleep. Experts recommend that babies not be transported long distances using pushchairs without this option as they could develop breathing problems when they are in a scrunched-up position. This is a factor that could contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Many models come with the option to add a carrycot, which is great for babies. Some brands offer a variety of pushchair and pram combinations or 'travel system' which include both the carrycot and seat unit, as well as adapters for your child's car seat.

A twin pushchair that has two seats on either side is ideal for twins or siblings who want to be together. These are heavier than single pushchairs as they need to accommodate a seat unit as well as baby carriers.

If you're a frequent traveller by public transport or live in an area with a limited space, a lightweight buggy is the ideal choice. You should also consider how compactly the stroller can be folded, and if it will fit through the doorways of your home. You could also choose the stroller or buggy that folds away with an integrated storage basket so that you can keep bags of groceries and your changing kit.
