Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair for newborns is one of the most essential baby items that you will require. There are a lot of options to choose from, but it is important to select the best one for your family and you.

Experts advise that babies lay flat for the first few months, so look for a product with an adjustable seat that can be used from the time of birth.

Safety

Your baby's safety is the most important factor when choosing a pushchair. A reputable pushchair should include a seat that can recline to lie flat and have a five point harness that is cushioned and has strong connections. Carrycots are the ideal choice for babies. They should not be placed in the seat that is used for primary use. If your baby's pushchair with car seat doesn't have a carrycot, you might want to consider a travel system that is an amalgamation of a car seat/pram and travel system.

The frame of your pushchair needs to be sturdy and have a broad base to prevent it tipping over easily. It is also advisable to avoid filling the back of your triple pushchair with shopping bags or toys as this can affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair has three wheels then it must have good suspension and the wheels should be made of PU or rubber to provide greater shock absorption. Find brakes that are easy to operate and ensure that they're working properly before you fasten your child in.

A high-quality pushchair should come with a rain cover that is zipped in place and has an insulated lining. This will keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs come with an hood or sun canopy that can be extended to give more coverage if required. Also, make sure whether your child's pushchair comes with an adjustable handlebar for parents so that you can find the most comfortable position for pushing and driving.

You may wish to purchase a footmuff which is available in a variety of pushchairs, it keeps your baby warm and is easily removed when it becomes too hot. It is a good idea to take this along when you go out and about in cold weather or when the sun begins to shine strong.

Check that the pushchair, buggy, or pram you purchase is in compliance with British safety standards. If it's part a travel system, ensure whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 and R129. Be sure to read the entire instruction and show anyone who might use the pushchair how to open, fold and secure it prior to when they start using it. When the pushchair isn't being used, remove all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies are very small and have weak muscles in their necks, therefore they must lie flat for their comfort and to aid their breathing. A pushchair which doesn't have a seat that can lie flat isn't suitable for newborns or infants, as they can fall asleep in a position that is too high and could block their airways from opening fully, potentially leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

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

Look for features that are suitable for babies for example, the ability to lower or raise the chassis from the footrest. You can also use the seat to feed your child. It is also worth considering buying a footmuff, which is made from soft and comfortable materials and shields your child from the sun while keeping them warm and comfortable. Most brands include a padded footmuff in their range of pushchairs and accessories or sell them on their own.

Many parents decide to purchase several pushchairs and upgrade them as their baby grows. If you're considering doing this, be sure to choose a lightweight pushchair with excellent suspension and a large rear tyre to handle rough terrain and city usage and a simple fold design that can be folded with one hand.

A travel system that combines a car seat or carrycot with a pushchair chassis and seat unit is a great option for newborns and babies. They are ideal for long trips as babies can be transported safely and comfortably in a car seat or carrycot and later transferred to a pushchair once they are ready.

You'll also want to make sure it is able to take a few bumps on the road and is durable enough for everyday use.

It is crucial to buy a pram that can be able to accommodate your newborn in this position. This will assist in helping their spinal and lungs develop. This is why a lot of prams 'from birth' are designed with a carrycot that can be attached to the chassis to ensure that your newborn is always close to you.

Weight

There are many options available regardless of whether you're looking for an infant pushchair or one that can fit your toddler. It is important to consider that a newborn baby can be heavy. Therefore, you should take a look at the weight (with or without carrying cots) of the pram or pushchair. This is important if you travel a lot or take public transport regularly.

Young children, unlike older ones have a sluggish neck muscles. They need to be able lie on their backs when they sleep. Expert advice suggests that young infants should not travel long distances in pushchairs that don't offer this option as they may experience breathing issues from the scrunched up position. This is one of the risk factors that can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

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

You can also select twin pushchairs that have two seats that sit side by side which is ideal for twins or siblings who will want to keep each other close. They are generally heavier than single pushchairs since they're designed to accommodate both seats and baby carriers.

If you're a frequent traveller by public transportation, or in an area with a limited space, a compact buggy is the best option. You should also consider how compactly the stroller or buggy can be folded, and if it will fit through the doorways of your home. You could also consider a stroller that folds away or a buggy with a storage basket to store your bags of shopping and changing kit.
