Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn; read here, is one of the most essential baby items you'll need. There are a variety of options available, but it is important to choose the right one for your family and you.

Experts suggest that babies be laid flat for the first few months, so search for a product with a fully reclined seat that can be used from birth.

Safety

When choosing a stroller, the safety of your child is the most important consideration. A good pushchair should have a seat that reclines to a flat position and a five-point harness that is cushioned and has strong connections. Infants should always be carried in a carrycot and not in the main seat. If your stroller does not come with a carrycot, you should think about an alternative travel system that is a car seat and pram all in one.

The frame of your double pushchair must be stable and have a broad base to ensure that it doesn't tip over easily. It is also advisable to avoid overloading the back of your pushchair with toys or shopping bags as this can affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair is a three wheeler it must have a adequate suspension, and the wheels should be composed of PU or rubber for better shock absorption. Look for brakes that are easy to use and ensure they function before you secure your baby.

A good quality pushchair will come with a rain cover that is fitted with a zipper and an outer lining that is waterproof. This will keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs come with a sun canopy, or the hood, which can be extended to provide more coverage. It is also important to verify whether your stroller has an adjustable handlebar for parents, so you can find the most comfortable position to push and drive.

Most pushchairs have an infant footmuff to keep your baby warm. It can be removed if it gets too hot. This is a great idea to have on hand while out and about, especially in cold weather.

Check that the pushchair, buggy, or pram that you purchase is in compliance with British safety standards. If it's part a travel system, check whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 or R129. Before you start using the pushchair, make sure that you've read the directions. You should also show anyone who may use it to fold, open and secure it. When the pushchair is not in use, unlock all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a small neck and have a very weak strength which is why they must lie flat to be comfortable and to breathe. A pushchair without a lie-flat model is not suited to be used by newborns or infants. They could sleep in a upright position which can prevent their airways from opening fully and can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Pick a stroller that is reclining with a seat that can be used flat from the time of birth. This kind of pushchair can also be called buggy, stroller, or pram.

In addition to a lie-flat model, you should also look for other features that are suitable for babies, such as the ability to raise or lower the chassis from the footrest, and an ample seat with 3 adjustable height settings - you can even use it while you're feeding your baby or toddler stroller. You should also consider purchasing a footmuff that is made of soft and comfortable material and protects your child from the sun while keeping them warm and snug. Many brands include a padded 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 thinking of doing this, be sure to look out for a lightweight pushchair with good 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, a carrycot or pushchair chassis with an chassis and seat are a great choice for babies and newborns. These are perfect for long-distance travel as babies can be transported safely and comfortably in a car seat or carrycot, and then moved to a pushchair when they're ready.

Style

A newborn pushchair is among the most important baby items you'll ever make, so it should be comfortable and simple to use. Look for features like an upholstered seat cushion that is comfortable and a handlebar that can be adjusted to find the perfect position for you and your child. You'll probably also need to ensure that it can stand up to a few bumps on the road, and is durable enough to be used for daily use.

Newborns need to be lying flat to aid in their spinal and lung development, so it's essential that you purchase a stroller that is able to accommodate them in this flat position. This is why many prams that are 'from birth' come with a carrycot that can be attached to the chassis so your baby is always close to you.

Some prams offer the option of a lie-flat, without carrying a carrycot. They may be suitable for infants as young as six months but you should examine the specifications thoroughly to be certain. Alternatively, you can also purchase a travel system, which typically comes with a car seat and is ready to go from the day your baby is born.

The Graco Near2Me function on the egg2 is specifically designed for infants since it allows you to bring your baby closer at the touch a button. Jaya, a parent tester says it's great for keeping contact and bonding. It can also be used with the seat unit, carrycot and car seat attachments, making it a versatile option for travel with a newborn.

You can pick from a wide range of colours styles, designs, and prints that will match your nursery decor or home decor. Be careful not to choose anything that is bright, as it can be distracting for your baby. You'll likely utilize your pushchair for many years, so it is worth investing in a style you like.

If you are looking for a stylish, lightweight and compact pushchair that folds up, then the YOYO2 by Babyzen is a good choice. It features a smooth curving design that gives your baby the most luxurious feeling. It also has a carrycot. This compact city stroller is a favourite of parents who want a small urban-friendly stroller. It comes with additional features such as a handy mug holder.

Weight

If you're looking for a light pushchair for newborns or a bigger model that can accommodate a toddler, there are plenty of options. It is important to remember that a new born baby can be quite heavy, so look at the weight of a pushchair or pram (with and without a carrycot attached) as it's an important factor to consider if you're travelling a lot or use public transport frequently or just want something easy to carry out and into your car boot or climb up and down the stairs.

As opposed to older children, infants have very little strength in their neck muscles so they require to lay flat for sleep. Expert advice suggests that infants and young babies should not travel long distances in pushchairs that do not offer this option as they could experience breathing problems because of the scrunched-up position. This is a risk factor that can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Many models include the option to add a carrycot which is ideal for infants. Certain brands offer a variety of pushchair stroller and pram combos or 'travel system' which include both the carrycot and seat unit and 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. They tend to weigh more than single pushchairs because they're designed to fit both a seat unit and baby carriers.

If you are frequent travelers on public transport, or live in an area with limited space, a light pushchair is the best choice. You should also consider how compactly the stroller can fold and how easily it can be inserted into the doors of your home. You might even choose a stroller that folds away or a buggy with a storage basket to store your bags of shopping and changing kit.
