Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is one of the most important baby items you'll need. There's a wide selection available but it's essential to find the right one for your family.

Experts suggest that babies be laid flat for the first few months, so look for a model that has an adjustable seat that can be used from birth.

Safety

The safety of your baby is a top consideration when selecting the right pushchair. A reputable pushchair should have a seat that reclines to a flat position and a five-point harness that is padded and has sturdy connections. Carrycots are the best option for babies. They should never be used in the main seat. If your stroller does not come with a carrycot, you may want to consider a travel system that is a car seat and pram all in one.

The frame of your pushchair needs to be sturdy and have a wide base to ensure that it doesn't tip over easily. Avoid overloading your pushchair's back with bags of shopping or toys because this could affect its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels then it must have adequate suspension and the wheels must be composed of PU or rubber to provide greater shock absorption. Find brakes that are easy to operate and check whether they're functioning properly before you fasten your baby in.

A high-quality pushchair should include a raincover that can be fitted with a zipper and an insulated lining. This will keep your baby comfortable and dry. Some pushchairs come with a sun canopy, also known as a hood, that can be extended to give more coverage. Check that the handlebars of your pushchair can be adjusted for parents to ensure they are in the most comfortable position when driving and pushing.

You might consider purchasing a footmuff which is available in a variety of pushchairs, it keeps your baby warm and can be removed if it becomes too hot. It is recommended to carry it with you when you go out and about in cold weather or when the sun starts to shine strong.

It is essential to ensure that the pram, pushchair or buggy that you buy is compliant with British safety standards and, if it is part of a travel system as well as European safety standards ECE R44/04 or R129 i-Size. Before you use the pushchair, ensure that you have read the directions. It is important to teach anyone who will use it to fold, open and secure it. When the pushchair is not in use, release all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and have a very weak strength and therefore, they need to lie flat in order to be comfortable and to breathe. A pushchair without a lie flat unit is not suitable to be used by newborns or infants. They may fall asleep in a seated position, which can prevent their airways from opening completely and could cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

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

Consider features that are suitable for infants like the capability to lower or raise the chassis at the footrest. You can also use the seat to feed your child. It is also worth considering buying a footmuff, which is made of soft and comfortable material that shields your child from the sun while keeping them warm and cozy. A majority of brands include a footmuff in their pushchair bundles and accessories ranges or sell them separately.

Many parents opt to purchase multiple pushchairs, and then upgrade them as their child grows. If you are planning to do this, make sure you select a light pushchair with a sturdy suspension, a large rear tire that can handle rough terrain or city use and a one-handed folding design.

A travel system, which includes a car seat or carrycot with a chassis for a pushchair and seat unit is a excellent option for newborns and infants. They are great for long-distance travel, as young children can be taken in a safe manner in their car seat or carrycot, and then transferred to the pushchair once they are ready to sit up.

Style

A newborn pushchair is one of the biggest purchases you will make for your baby. It should be easy to use and comfortable. Consider features like a comfortable seat cushion and a movable handlebar to find the ideal position for you and your child. You'll 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 should be in a lie-flat position to assist with their lung and spinal development, which is why it's vital that you purchase a stroller that can be used in this position. Many "from birth" prams come with the option of a carrycot connected to their chassis. This allows your baby to be close to you.

Some prams provide a lie-flat position without carrying a carrycot. They may be suitable for babies that are less than six months old, but it's best to verify the specifications to ensure. Alternatively, you can also purchase a travel system, that usually comes with a car seat and is ready to go as soon as your baby is born.

The Graco Near2Me function on the egg2 is especially suited to newborns because it lets you bring your baby closer to you at the push of one button. Jaya one of the parents who tested it says it's great for maintaining contact and bonding. It can be used with the car seat, carrycot and seat attachments to the unit. This makes it an excellent option for a trip with a child.

There's a wide selection of different styles, colours and prints to suit your nursery or home decor, but try to avoid any bright colours that could distract your baby. You'll likely use your pushchair for many years, so it's worthwhile to invest in a design you like.

If you are looking for a chic, lightweight and compact pushchair that can be folded up, then the YOYO2 by Babyzen is a great option. It features a smooth curving design that gives your baby an opulent feel. It also comes with the option of a carrycot. This city stroller is a favorite of parents who want a small urban-friendly stroller. It also comes with a few additional features, like a convenient cup holder.

Weight

There are a variety of options available, whether you're looking for an infant pushchair or a model that can accommodate your toddler. You should consider that a newborn baby could be quite heavy. Therefore, you must consider the weight (with or without a carrycot) of a pram or pushchair. This is especially important if you travel a lot or take public transport often.

The newborns, unlike the older children have a very weak neck muscles. They should be able lie on their backs when they sleep. Expert advice suggests that young babies should not be able to travel long distances in pushchairs that do not offer this option as they may develop breathing difficulties due to the position of their necks scrunched. This is one of the risk factors that contributes to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pushchair or pram is suitable from birth and many models offer the option of adding the carrycot, which is perfect for newborns, particularly those who are tiny. Some brands offer a variety of pushchair and pram pushchair combos or 'travel system' which include both the carrycot and seat unit, as well as adapters for your child's car seat.

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

If you are a frequent traveller by public transport or live in an area with limited space, a light buggy is the best option. You should also consider how compactly the pushchair can be folded, and whether it can fit through the doorways of your home. You might even choose a foldaway stroller or buggy with an organizer basket to store your bags of shopping and changing kit.
