The key thing is to determine how durable and durable the chassis is, and whether there's a suspension system that can aid in the ride over rough terrain. The tyres also need to be considered - if they're filled with air, you might need to be prepared to carry a pump, or at the very least a puncture repair kit with you.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are many different types of pushchairs and strollers, but when choosing one for a newborn consider the following factors:

To ensure that the spine develops properly A newborn baby should be laid flat. This can be done best in a carrycot or pram but as they get older, you can shift to a pushchair and then a toddler seat. A 3-in-1 pushchair - also referred to as a pram travel system bundle - is ideal, as it will grow with your child. It's typically an item that has an attached pram/carrycot, and a baby car seat that snaps onto.

You may also want to look into a reversible device so that you can either use it with your baby facing you, or turn it around and let them experience the world around them. This will help keep them calm and content. Certain models may even come with a parent-facing canopy that allows you to monitor them and make eye contact throughout the trip.

The weight of your stroller pushchair is a different aspect to take into consideration. Make sure it's light. You don't need to carry it up and down from public transport or your car often, so make sure it's light. You'll also want to make sure that the pushchair isn't too big and folds easily, so it can fit in the trunk of your vehicle.

If you have plans to travel with your family, make sure that the stroller is easy to maneuver and can be easily folded to be stored. This is essential, particularly in the event that you plan to take the pushchair in countries where customs officials may have to inspect it for safety reasons.

Consider whether the pushchair is single or linked-handled and whether it comes with an adjustable height. Single handles are simpler to fold up and can be folded more compactly when using single handles. Consider a steering wheel that can be adjusted in height to accommodate grandparents who may help you. The last thing you want is to be slogging away for hours trying to assemble and dismantle your pushchair, while carrying a heavy newborn on the back!

Storage space

A basket of adequate size is necessary to store baby's toys and changing kit. You should choose a model with a large storage area you can access quickly when using the carrycot. It is also essential to find a model where you don't need to remove your child from the cot in order to lift the lid.

They are often used with infants and are an essential element of a "from birth" pushchair up to 25kg. They permit your baby to lie flat, which is beneficial 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 have inbuilt sunshades while others have removable, extendable SPF/UPF 50+ sun canopy. Consider using a footstrap to keep your baby warm in the colder months. Look for models that have one in the bundle or accessories range.
