Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is one of the most important baby items you'll need. There's a lot of choice available, but it's important to select the best one for your family.

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

Safety

Your baby's safety is the most important factor when choosing the right pushchair. A quality pushchair should include a seat that reclines to a flat position and a five-point harness that is well-padded and has strong connections. Infants should always be carried in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your pushchair does not have a carrycot then you may want to consider a travel system that is a car seat and pram in one.

The frame of your pushchair should be stable and have a broad base to avoid it tipping over easily. It is also advisable to avoid overloading the back of your chair with shopping bags or toys since this could impact the stability of the chair. If your pushchair is a three wheeler then it must have good suspension, and the wheels should be made of rubber or PU to provide greater shock absorption. Find brakes that are easy to operate and ensure they work before you secure your child.

A good quality pushchair should have a raincover which is fitted with a zip and has a protective lining, this will help keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy or hood that can be extended to provide more coverage when required. Check that the handlebars of your pushchair can be adjusted to allow parents to ensure they are in the most comfortable posture for pushing and driving.

The majority of pushchairs come with an infant footmuff to keep your baby warm. It can be removed if it gets too hot. This is a great idea to carry around when you are out and about, especially in cold weather.

Check that the pushchair buggy, or running pram you purchase meets British safety standards. If it's part of an entire travel system, make sure that it also meets European safety standards ECER44/04 and R129. Before you begin using the pushchair, be sure that you've read all the directions. It is also important to show anyone who might use it to fold open, secure and close it. When the pushchair is not being used, remove all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies are very small and have weak muscles in their necks, which is why they should lie flat to ensure their comfort and to ease their breathing. A pushchair that does not have a lie-flat unit is not suitable for use by newborns or infants. They can sleep in a upright position which will prevent their airways opening completely and could cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Select a stroller that reclines with a seat that can be used flat right from birth. This kind of pushchair may be referred to as a stroller, buggy or pram.

In addition to a lie-flat unit, be sure to look for other newborn-friendly features like the ability to raise and lower the chassis from the footrest as well as a large seat with three adjustable height positions - you can even use it while feeding your toddler or baby. Consider buying a footmuff made of soft, comfortable fabric which shields your child from the sun and keeps them warm. Many manufacturers include a footmuff with their range of pushchairs and accessories or sell them on their own.

Parents often buy multiple pushchairs to upgrade as their child grows. If you're planning on doing this, make sure to select an easy-to-use pushchair that has good suspension and a large rear tyre to handle urban and rough terrain, and a simple to fold, one-handed design.

A travel system, which combines a car seat or carrycot with a chassis for a pushchair and seat unit is another ideal option for infants and babies. They are ideal for long journeys as babies can be transported safely and comfortably in a car seat or carrycot, and then transferred to a pushchair once they're ready.

Style

A newborn pushchair is one of the most important purchases you'll make for your baby. It should be simple to use and comfortable. Consider features like the comfort of a cushioned seat and an adjustable handlebar to find the right position for your child and you. It is also important to make sure that the product is durable enough for everyday use and will withstand some bumps along the way.

Newborns must be in a lie-flat position to aid in their lung and spinal development, so it's essential that you purchase a stroller that can accommodate them in this flat position. This is why many 'from birth' prams are equipped with the option of a carrycot attached to the chassis to ensure that your newborn is always close to you.

Some prams have the option of a lie-flat, without carrycots and could be suitable for babies as young as six months, but it's best to check the specifications carefully to be certain. Alternately, you can purchase a travel system which usually includes a car seat that is ready to go the moment your baby is born.

The Graco Near2Me feature on the egg2 is especially designed for infants since it lets you bring your baby closer with the touch a button. Jaya one of the parents who tested it, says it's great for maintaining contact and to bond. It is also compatible with the carrycot, seat unit and car seat attachments, making it a flexible option for travelling with a newborn.

You can find a range of different colours, styles and patterns to match your home or nursery decor However, you should avoid anything too bright that might be distracting for your newborn. You'll likely be using your pushchair for several years so it's worthwhile to invest in a model that you will love for many years down the line.

If you are looking for a stylish, lightweight and compact pushchair that folds up and folded down, then the YOYO2 from Babyzen is a fantastic option. It features a smooth curving shape that gives your baby an opulent feel. It also comes with a carrycot. This pram is a favourite for parents who are after an urban-friendly, compact stroller. It comes with a few extra perks like a handy mug holders.

Weight

If you're in search of a light pushchair for your newborn or a larger model that can be used by toddlers, there are plenty of options. It's worth bearing in mind that a new born baby is quite heavy, so look at the weight of a pram or pushchair (with and without a carrycot) because this is an important aspect 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 climb up and down the stairs.

Newborns, unlike older children have a very weak neck muscles. They should be able to lay on their backs when they sleep. Expert advice suggests that newborn infants should not travel long distances in pushchairs that do not offer this option as they could experience breathing problems due to the position of their necks scrunched. This is one of the risk factors that contributes to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pram or pushchair is suitable from birth and most models have the option of adding the carrycot, which is perfect for babies, particularly when they are small. Some brands also offer various pram and pushchair combinations or 'travel systems' which include both the carrycot as well as a seat unit, as well as adapters for your car seat, so you can use them together from the outset.

A twin pushchair that has two seats on either side is ideal for twins or siblings who wish to be in the same room. They are heavier than single pushchairs as they must accommodate seats as well as baby carriers.

A stroller or buggy that is light is ideal for an avid user of public transport or if you reside in an urban location where space is limited. You should also consider how compactly the pushchair can be folded, and whether it can fit through the doors of your home. You might even choose a stroller that folds away or a buggy with a storage basket for your bags of shopping and changing kit.
