Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

Choosing a pushchair newborn is one of the most crucial decisions you make for your baby. The best model will aid your baby's growth and stay healthy.

Experts advise that babies sleep flat in order to promote breathing and development. A good pushchair comes with a seat that can be positioned on a flat surface.

Lay-flat seating

Newborns require a flat position in their pushchairs for the first six months since it helps their back, development, and breathing. However there are some pushchairs that don't can be rolled flat, so it's essential to verify this prior to purchasing. A good method to test a baby's pushchair is to ask the salesperson whether you can test it out and see if you are able to comfortably lie down with your child in it.

A baby pram with a cocoon, carrycot or a seat that can be set flat is an excellent option for babies who are just starting out. It lets them rest upright while protecting their spines and allowing them to breathe normally. Some prams come with baby carriers, while others permit you to attach a carrier separately to the frame. When your baby is older, you can exchange it for the seat.

The majority of experts agree that it is best for newborns to be in a pushchair with a parent facing or carrycot that allows them to look directly at their parents, making it easier to monitor and cater to their needs. However many parents are unsure about what direction to choose or when their baby can begin facing out to the world.

The reason why they are so popular is because they let you use your newborn's carrycot or cocoon on the frame of the pushchair and then move to a reclining chair when your child has reached a certain age. This saves you the headache of purchasing separate items. Some models also have the option of converting from single pushchair to double when your baby grows, allowing you to be flexible and allowing you to save money by purchasing only one piece of equipment. It is important to check the weight of the travel system (with and without the carrycot included) as you may find it heavier than other pushchairs. This is especially true when you're going to use public transport or travel frequently with your baby. Examine the stability of the travel system and also if it can stand up by itself when folded. You'll want a strong and secure pushchair that is able to support the weight of your growing infant.

All-terrain models

The best infant pushchairs are ones that can withstand all kinds of terrains. This is particularly important for those who reside in the countryside or prefer to take walks in the countryside and are likely to come across bumpy ground and uneven surfaces. The good news is that there are now many models available specifically designed with this kind of terrain in mind. It's important to check the chassis and determine whether it comes with suspension that will allow you to ride on rough terrain. If the tyres are filled with air it is important to determine whether you will need an air pump to fix the puncture or use a puncture repair tool.

There are a variety of all-terrain strollers on the market. They include models made by major names in the field of baby equipment. One of the most popular is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller with a good reputation and can be used starting at birth with a carrycot or first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleep). The air-filled tires of this stroller are perfect for off-road usage and its suspension will help cushion your baby's trip. When your child is of the right age, it's suitable for running.

Another option is the iCandy Core, which can be used in single or double mode and comes with a large basket that can hold up to 10kg of shopping. The front wheels are larger than the majority of single pushchairs which makes it easier to manoeuvre across a wider range of surfaces. It comes with a recliner that can be adjusted to a nearly flat position. It also comes with an infant-car-seat adapter, which can be used as a travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair worth considering is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, that is small enough to fit on shops and buses but comes with big, tough tires that can withstand rough surfaces. It also comes with a large basket that folds easily using just one hand. It's expensive, however, so you'll need to weigh up the pros and cons prior to making the purchase.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are many different types of pushchairs, but when choosing one for a baby, you should consider the following factors:

To ensure that the spine develops properly A newborn baby should lie flat. It is best to do this in a carrycot or pram, but once they're older you can change to a pushchair and then an infant seat. A 3 in 1 pushchair egg - also referred to as a pram travel bundle - is the best choice, because it grows with your child. It's usually an item that has a pram/carrycot attached to it, and the baby car seat snaps on.

You might also think about a reversible unit, so that you can either use it with the baby facing you, or turn it around and let them experience the world. This will keep them content and relaxed. Certain models may even come with a parent-facing canopy that allows you to monitor them and keep an eye on them throughout the trip.

The weight of your stroller is a different factor to consider. You don't want to take it off and on public transport, or in and out of your car regularly Make sure it is lightweight. Similarly, you'll want to ensure that the pushchair folds neatly and compactly, making it easier to fit into the car's boot.

If you're planning to travel with your family members, ensure that the stroller is easy to maneuver and is easily folded down for storage. This is important, especially in the event that you plan to take the pushchair abroad, where customs officials may have to inspect it for security reasons.

You may also want to determine if the pushchair has a single or linked handle and the height it is adjustable to. Single handles are easier to fold and can be folded more compactly with single handles. Consider a steering wheel which can be adjusted to height for grandparents who can assist you. You don't want to fight for hours to assemble and disassemble your pushchair with a child who weighs a lot on board!

Storage space

A good sized basket is essential to keep baby's changing kit and toys. You should look for a model that has a large storage space that is accessible quickly when using the carrycot. It is also essential to choose a model that you don't have to take your baby from the cot in order to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a light portable crib with a handle that can be affixed to a pushchair chassis in order to create an entire travel system. They are typically used with newborns and are an important component of the "from birth" pushchair. They permit your baby to lie flat, which is better for their lung and spinal development.

A sun canopy is an essential accessory to a stroller since it shields your child from weather. Some models have built-in sunshades, while others have removable extendable SPF/UPF50+ sunshades. Consider using a footstrap to keep your baby warm in colder winter months. Look for models that have one in the bundle or accessories range.
