Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

Choosing a pushchair newborn is among the most crucial decisions you make for your baby. The best model will aid your baby's growth and in good health.

Experts advise that babies sleep flat in order to promote breathing and growth. A good pushchair has an adjustable seat that can be set flat.

Seating with a lie-flat

For the first six months, newborns should be seated on their pushchairs. This is beneficial for their back development and breathing. However, not all pushchairs lie flat so it's crucial to confirm this prior to purchasing. One method to test a baby's pushchair is to ask the salesperson to let you try it out and see if you are able to comfortably sleep with your child in it.

A baby pram with a cocoon, carrycot or a seat that can be positioned flat is a great option for infants. It allows them to sleep in an upright position while protecting their spines and allowing them to breathe normally. Some prams come with a newborn carrier included or allow you to attach one separately to the frame. When your baby is older, you can swap it for the seat.

Most experts agree that it's recommended that newborns be in a pushchair that is facing their parents or carrycot which allows them to look directly at their parents and makes it easier to monitor their needs and attend to their needs. However, many new parents aren't sure which direction to take or when their baby can begin facing out into the world.

A travel system is a very popular choice as it allows you to use a newborn cocoon or carrycot attached to the frame of a pushchair, and then move to a reclining seat once your baby is older, saving you the hassle of buying separate items. Some models can be converted from a single to a double pushchair, which allows you to save money on equipment and be flexible as your child grows. It is important to check the weight of the travel system (with and without the carrycot attached) as you may find it heavier than other pushchairs, particularly in the event that you will be taking public transport or traveling frequently with your child. It is also important to check the stability of a travel system and if it's self-standing when folded. You'll want a sturdy and secure pushchair that is able to handle the weight of your growing baby.

All-terrain models

The best pushchair for newborns is one that's built to tackle a variety of different terrain. This is particularly crucial if you prefer to wander around in the countryside or reside in a rural location where you are likely to encounter bumpy and uneven surfaces. The good news is that there are several models that are specifically designed with this type of terrain in mind. It's important to check the chassis to see whether it has suspension that will help you ride over rough terrain. The tyres should also be considered - if they're air-filled, you'll require to carry a pump, or at the very least an emergency repair kit for punctures with you.

There are many all-terrain pushchairs on the market, including those made by the top brands in baby equipment. One of the most sought-after is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller that has a stellar reputation and can be used starting at birth with the carrycot or the first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleep). Its air-filled tyres are perfect for off-road use and its suspension will assist in cushioning your baby's ride. When your child reaches the appropriate 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 huge basket that can accommodate up to 10kg of shopping. Its front wheels are larger than most single pushchairs, which makes it easier to maneuver across a wider range of surfaces. It has a reclining chair that can be adjusted to a near flat position. It also comes with an infant-car-seat adapter, which can be used for a travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair to consider is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, that is small enough to fit on shopping aisles and buses, however it has large, sturdy tires that can withstand rough surfaces. It comes with a huge basket and can also be folded with just one hand. It's not cheap so you'll have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing it prior to making a purchase.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are a variety of pushchairs. But, when you are deciding on one for your newborn be sure to consider the following factors:

A newborn baby will need to lie flat to promote healthy spine development. This is best done in a pram or carrycot but as they get older, you can transfer to a pushchair, and then to a toddler seat. A 3 in 1 jogging pushchair - also referred to as a pram travel bundle - is ideal since it can grow with your child. It's usually an item that has a pram/carrycot attached to it, and the baby car seat snaps on.

You may also want to look for a reversible baby seat unit to use it with your infant facing you, or turn it around to allow them to experience the world around them. This will keep them happy and calm. Some models have a canopy that is facing the parent and allows you to keep an eye on your child and keep eye contact throughout the journey.

The weight of your stroller is a different aspect to be considered. Be sure that it's light. It's not necessary to lift it up and down from public transport or in your car frequently, so ensure it's light. In addition, you'll need to make sure that the pushchair folds easily and compactly, making it easier to fit into the car's boot.

Make sure that the black pushchair can be folded and easily carried when you plan to travel with your children. This is particularly important if you're planning to use it in another country, where customs officials might have to inspect your pushchair for safety concerns.

Consider whether the pushchair is single or linked-handled, and whether it comes with an adjustable height. Single handles are simpler to fold and can be folded more compactly when using single handles. Consider a steering wheel which can be adjusted in height to accommodate grandparents who may help you. The most important thing you do not want is to be slogging away for hours trying to assemble and dismantle your pushchair while carrying a baby on board!

Storage space

A basket that is large enough is required to store baby's toys and changing kit. You should look for an item 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 need to remove your baby from the cot to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a light portable crib with a handle that can be attached to a chassis for a pushchair to create an entire travel system. They are often used with newborns and are an essential element of a "from birth" pushchair. They let your baby lay on their backs, which is good for their lung and spinal development.

A sun canopy is an essential accessory to a stroller since it protects your child from weather. Some models include built-in sunshades, while others come with a removable SPF/UPF50+ canopies. A footmuff is also a good option as it will help to keep your baby warm on colder days Check out models which include one in the bundle or in their accessories range.
