Buying a New Born Push Chair

This premium pushchair is ideal for infants due to its luxury weaved fabric and ergonomic support. It's also easy to assemble and can easily manage narrow shop aisles.

Pick a model that comes with the carrycot, or a combination of a car seat and a carriercot that is suitable for babies. Some models have the option of a reversible model, so you can decide if your baby faces you or the the world.

Safety

The pushchair, sometimes referred to as a stroller or buggy, is one of the most frequently used baby products. Safety is the primary consideration when selecting a pushchair. The first thing to look for is a five-point harness. The harness locks the child into the seat by securing five points - two across shoulders as well as around hips and between legs and two in the middle. This system stops the child from sliding out of the seat in the event that the vehicle falls over, or when driving up a steep kerb.

For infants, a carrycot or infant prams, car seats and carrycots combination is vital. They should be able to lie flat. This helps protect their spine and allows them to breathe completely.

Babies born today should not be allowed to be able to travel for long distances in an unrestricted pushchair even if it features an adjustable seat.

It is also recommended to buy an infant pushchair that is suitable from birth. The pushchair must be suitable for use with a carrycot which can lay flat, or an infant car seat or pram. It should also come with the seat unit that can be completely reversible, to allow the baby to be able to face either the parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller must be sturdy, have good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs come with pneumatic tyres that can absorb shocks more effectively than standard tyres and can run on uneven terrain.

Other accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets, or changing bags for prams can be useful in everyday use, especially when running errands with baby in tow. Many pushchairs are fitted with a hood that can be placed over the baby's head to shield them from sun and wind. Certain hoods are adjustable to accommodate the weather.

Comfort

You'll want a baby pushchair that is comfortable for the baby and the parents. This could mean padded seats that are easy to manoeuvre and sturdy enough for rough terrain. Consider features like weather protection and storage. If you intend to use the stroller for jogging, or off-road adventures, you will need a pushchair that has larger wheels. This will provide your child the most comfort even on the most difficult terrain.

The ideal pushchair for a newborn would be a pram or a travel system that has the option of a carry cot that allows your infant to sleep in their normal lying flat position, which is vital for the development of a healthy spine and lung. Some pushchairs that are advertised as suitable for babies will actually require your child to stand independently before they are able to be used, so make sure you check this before purchasing.

A bassinet is another option that provides a compact baby cot to rest in, while still being safe and secure in the pushchair. They're typically more expensive than a standard pushchair, or even a travel system, but they can be worth the extra expense in the event that your baby is happy to use this kind of seat.

Some pushchairs and buggies let you "face the seat" towards you to provide reassurance or bonding. Or, you can turn your back to explore the world. These are sometimes called parents-facing or world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs have the option of converting from single to double. This means that they can be converted to a double pushchair without needing a separate frame.

Many manufacturers include this in the pushchair bundle, or sell it separately and you should look for this. You may want to add a footmuff in colder conditions. It will keep your baby warm.

Some come with adjustable seat cushions, an extensible SPF canopy, and a footmuff for colder weather.

Some pushchairs come with a fully reclining seat unit or carrycot that are suitable for babies from the time of birth. It is important to check that this feature is included as some descriptions simply state a reclining seat without defining what it means. lie-flat option.

Most pushchairs allow you to choose between a parent-facing or a world-facing unit. This lets you select whether your child is facing you for reassurance or bonding with you, or is away from you in order to explore the world. Some models even have both options at the same time!

It's important to research your options and adhere to your budget. Keep in mind that you will use your pushchair for a long time and that it's the most commonly used item. You need to pick one that is compatible with your lifestyle and is comfortable for you and your child.

Think about purchasing a travel set-up which includes a carrycot and seat. This is the safest way to transport a newborn, since it guarantees that they lie flat.

You should also think about the size of the handlebar, and whether it's adjustable to suit your height. Also, you must ensure that the pushchair folds enough to fit into your car's trunk or onto public transport. Some models, like the Joie Vinca, have a one-handed fold which was highly reviewed by our MFM home testers and earned it an award of Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
