Buying a New Born Push Chair

A premium black pushchair that's ideal for babies due to its luxurious fabric and a comfortable seat. It's also simple to put together and can easily navigate the narrow aisles in the shops.

Newborns should always lie flat, so opt for a model that has either a carrycot or car seat/carrycot combination that is suitable from birth. Some models come with an reversible design, which means you can choose whether your baby is facing you or the the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also referred to as buggy, pram, or stroller) is one of the most commonly used baby items, so safety should be the top priority when selecting one. Make sure you choose the five-point safety harness. The harness secures the child in the seat by using five points that join in the central locking system, two across the shoulders, and two around the hips and between the legs. This system prevents the child from sliding out of the seat in the event that the vehicle is flipped over, or while driving over a kerb with a steep slope.

A carrycot or infant car seat/ pram & carrycot combination is a must for newborns since they need the ability to lie flat, which protects their spine development and opens their airways fully. This is vital because it lowers the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Newborn babies should not be pushed for long distances in the pushchair that doesn't provide this feature even if they could be pushed using a reclining seat unit.

It is also advisable to purchase a pushchair that is suitable from birth. The small folding pushchair must be capable of being used with a carrycot that can lay flat, or an infant car seat/pram. It should also come with the seat unit that is completely reversible to allow the baby to look at either the parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller must be sturdy with a good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs come with pneumatic tyres that absorb shocks better than conventional tyres. They also can run on rough terrain.

Accessories like shopping baskets and pram changing bags or raincovers can be useful particularly when you are doing errands while your child is in tow. Many pushchairs come with an hood that can be put over the baby's face to protect it from the sun or wind. Some hoods can be adjusted to suit the conditions.

Comfort

You'll want a pushchair for your newborn that is comfortable for the baby and the parent. This can mean padded seats, easy to move around and durable enough to withstand the rough terrain. It is also important to think about other features like storage options and protection against weather. If you intend to use the stroller for jogging or off-road adventures, you will need a stroller with larger wheels. This will allow your child the most comfort even on the most uneven terrain.

The most suitable pushchair for a newborn is one that is a travel system or pram that has a carrycot. This will allow your baby to sleep in a lying-flat position, which is important for the development of the spine and lung. Some pushchairs labeled "suitable from birth" require that your child can sit up on their own. Check this before you make a purchase.

A bassinet can be used to create a cot-like environment for your baby to relax while being secure and safe in the pushchair. These seats are typically more expensive than a travel system. However, if your child is comfortable in the seat, it might be worth the price.

Many pushchairs allow you to "face the seat" toward you for comfort or bonding. Or, you can turn your back to explore the world. These are often referred to as parent-facing and world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs have the option of converting from single to double. This means they can be converted into a double pushchair without needing an additional frame.

On hot days you'll need a parasol for your pushchair to shield your baby from the sun and avoid overheating. Look for it in pushchair bundles or separately. You might want to add a footmuff in colder weather. It will keep your baby warm. You can find a wide variety of them and the majority are machine washable.

Style

It is crucial to be aware of the details when shopping for a new baby pushchair, as this will be one of the most popular products. For instance, some models are designed for use on rough terrain and have large wheels and a heavier frame that is heavy duty. Others are lighter and are easier to maneuver especially when folded. Some come with adjustable seat padding, an expandable SPF canopy, and a footmuff for colder weather.

It is recommended that infants lie flat, as this helps with spinal development and opens up their airways. It is recommended to use a pram/pushchair that has the carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs come with a fully reclined seat unit or carrycot and are suitable for babies from the time of birth. Check that this feature is present as some descriptions only provide an option to recline, but not mention a lie-flat seat.

The majority of pushchairs let you select between a parent facing or a world-facing unit. This lets you choose whether your baby faces you for bonding or reassurance or away from you to explore the world. Some pushchairs let you choose both simultaneously!

Many pushchairs come with a variety of accessories, including shopping trays and baskets to make it easier for parents. Some have an integrated sunshade, which is usually made of UPF or SPF 50+ fabrics to help shield the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include a sunshade that can be attached using clamps to the frame of the pushchair or a sunmuff, which is usually included in the bundle or sold as an add-on.

Budget

It's important to research your options and stick to your budget. It's important to consider that the pram will stay in your home for a long time and it's also the most used item so you want to ensure you buy one that is suitable for your needs and is comfortable for you and your baby.

You should consider purchasing a travel system that includes a carrycot and seat. This is the safest method to transport a newborn because it makes sure they sleep flat. This is the best way to protect their spine and open their airways. Newborns should be transported lying on their backs until they attain the age of six months.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, and also have seats that fully recline to a flat position. This is important as it helps protect a newborn's growing spine and allows them to sleep comfortably on long journeys. However, it's worth noting that not all pushchairs which claim they are 'lie-flat' actually provide a full flat position and you need to check this before making your purchase.

You should consider a crib that has a large basket for everything your baby needs and other things. The basket should be easy to access and you will be able to squeeze your shopping without a hassle or having to remove your baby from the carrycot.

Wheels also differ between models. Some have swivel, fixed or lockable wheels that can aid in maneuvering the pushchair in various situations. Some have larger wheels which are more robust on rough terrain, or are fitted with PU tires that are designed to be puncture-resistant.

Take note of the size of the handlebar and if it can be adjusted to your height. Lastly, you need to make sure the pushchair folds enough to fit in your car's trunk or on public transport. Some models, like the Joie Vinca comes with a one-handed fold that was highly rated by our MFM home testers and was awarded a Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
