Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is among the most important baby items you'll need. There are a variety of options out there but it's essential to find the right one for your family.

Experts suggest that infants be able to lay flat in the first few months. Choose a model that has a fully reclined seat that can also be used at birth.

Safety

The safety of your child is the most important factor when choosing a pushchair. A reputable pushchair will include a seat that reclines to a flat angle, and a five-point harness that is well-padded and has strong connections. Carrycots are a great option for newborns. They should not be put in the seat of the main one. If your stroller does not come with a carrycot, then you should think about an alternative travel system that is a car seat and pram in one.

The frame of your stroller must be stable, and it should have a wide base to ensure that it doesn't slide over easily. It is also advisable to avoid overloading the back of your pushchair with toys or shopping bags since this could impact the stability of the chair. If your pushchair is a three-wheeler it must have a adequate suspension, and the wheels should be made of rubber or PU for better shock absorption. Make sure you choose brakes that are simple to use and make sure they work before you secure your baby.

A good quality pushchair will have a raincover that is zipped in place and has an insulated lining. This will keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy, or hood, that can be extended for more coverage. Check that the handlebars on your pushchair can be adjusted for parents to find the most comfortable position for driving and pushing.

You might want to buy an infant footmuff, which is sold in all pushchairs, it keeps your baby warm and can be removed when it gets too hot. It is a great thing to carry around when you're out and about, particularly in colder weather.

It is crucial to confirm that any pushchair, pram or buggy that you buy conforms to British safety standards and, if it is part of a travel system also European safety standards ECE R44/04 or R129 iSize. Ensure that you have gone through all the directions and show anyone who might use the pushchair how to open, fold and secure it before they begin using it. Also, ensure that you release all locking devices when the pushchair is not in use.

Comfort

The newborn babies are small and have weak muscles in their necks, so they must lie flat to ensure their comfort and to ease their breathing. A pushchair that does not have a lie-flat device is not recommended to be used by infants or newborns. They can fall asleep in a seated position, which could prevent their airways from opening fully and can result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

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

Find features that are suitable for infants like the capability to raise or lower the chassis at the footrest. You can also use the seat while feeding your child. You should also think about buying a footmuff, which is made of soft and comfortable material and protects your child from the sun while keeping them warm and snug. Many brands sell them separately or in their bundles of accessories and pushchairs.

Parents often buy multiple pushchairs to upgrade as their child develops. If you're considering doing this, be sure to look out for a light pushchair with good suspension and a large rear tyre that can handle rough terrain and city use and a simple to fold, one-handed design.

travel pram systems that combine a car seat, a carrycot or pushchair chassis with a chassis and seat unit are a fantastic option for newborns and babies. They are great for long journeys, as infants can be carried in a safe manner in their car seat or carrycot, and then transferred to the pushchair once they're ready to sit.

Style

A pushchair newborn is one of the most important baby items you'll make, therefore it must be comfortable and easy to use. Consider features like the comfort of a cushioned seat and a handlebar that can be adjusted to find the perfect position for your child and you. You'll need to ensure that it is able to take a few bumps on the road and is sturdy enough for everyday use.

Newborns need to be lying flat to help with their lung and spinal development, so it's essential that you buy a pram that is able to accommodate them in this flat position. This is why a lot of prams 'from birth' are equipped with carrycots that can be connected to the chassis, ensuring that your newborn is always close to you.

Some prams have the option of a lie-flat, without carrying a carrycot. They may be suitable for infants up to around six months, but it's best to examine the specifications thoroughly to ensure. Alternately, you can purchase a travel system, which usually includes an infant car seat and is ready to go from the day your baby is born.

The Graco Near2Me function on the egg2 is particularly suitable for babies as it lets you bring your baby closer to you at the touch of a button. Jaya one of the parents who tested it is adamant that it's great for keeping contact and for bonding. It can also be used with the carrycot, seat unit and car seat attachments, making it a flexible option for travel with a newborn.

You can choose from a wide range of colours and styles that will suit the decor of your nursery or home decor. However, avoid anything that is too bright since it could be distracting to your baby. You'll likely utilize your pushchair for many years, so it's worthwhile to invest in a design you like.

If you're seeking a fashionable lightweight, compact pushchair that folds up and folded down, then the YOYO2 from Babyzen is a great choice. It has a smooth curve with an extravagant feel for your infant and comes with a movable carrycot. This compact city stroller is a favourite of parents who want a small urban-friendly stroller. It comes with additional features like a useful mug holder.

Weight

There are many options available regardless of whether you're looking for an infant pushchair or a model that can be used by your toddler. You should consider that a newborn baby can be a heavy baby. Therefore, it is important to take a look at the weight (with or without the carrycot) of the pram or pushchair. This is important for those who travel a lot or take public transport regularly.

As opposed to older children, infants have a weaker strength in their neck muscles. Therefore, they need to be able to lay flat for sleep. Expert advice suggests that infants and young babies should not travel long distances in pushchairs that don't provide this option since they may develop breathing difficulties due to the position of their necks scrunched. This is a risk factor that can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pushchair or pram is suitable from birth and most models have the option of incorporating an infant carrycot that is ideal for infants, especially those who are tiny. Certain brands offer a range of pushchair and pram combinations or a 'travel system' that include both the carrycot and seat unit, as well as adapters to fit your child's car seat.

You can also opt for a twin pushchair with two seats that sit side by side perfect for siblings or twins who want to keep each other together. They tend to weigh more than single pushchairs since they are designed to accommodate the seat unit and baby carriers.

A lightweight buggy or stroller is ideal if you're frequent users of public transportation or reside in an urban location where space is limited. It's an excellent idea to determine the size of the pushchair when folded away and if it's able to be able to fit through your doorways at home. You might even choose a stroller that folds away or a buggy with a storage basket to store your shopping bags and changing kit.
