Easy to manoeuvre

There are a myriad of pushchairs. When choosing one for your newborn, consider the following:

To promote healthy spine development, a newborn baby should lie flat. Ideally this is done in a pram or carrycot, but once they're older you can switch to a pushchair, and then an infant seat. A 3-in-1 pushchair - also referred to as a pram travel bundle - is the best choice, since it can grow with your child. It usually comprises the frame, which includes a carrycot/carrycot and a baby seat that can be attached to the frame.

You might also consider a reversible seating unit to use it with your baby facing you, or turn it around to allow them to experience the world around them. This will help keep them calm and content. Some models have a canopy that is facing the parent, allowing you to keep an eye on your child and keep eye contact throughout the trip.

The weight of your stroller 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 vehicle often, so make sure it's light. In addition, you'll need to make sure that the pushchair folds neatly and compactly, making it easier to fit into the boot of your car.

Single handles are simpler to fold up and can be folded more compactly with single handles. Consider a steering wheel that can be adjusted in height to accommodate grandparents who may help you. You don't want to struggle for hours to put together and disassemble your pushchair with a child who weighs a lot on board!

Storage space

A basket of sufficient size is necessary to store baby's toys as well as a changing kit. You should choose an item that has a large storage space that is accessible quickly when using the carrycot. It is also crucial to find a model where you don't have to remove your child from the cot to lift the lid.

Consider the use of a footstrap to keep your baby warm during colder winter months. Look for models that include one in the bundle or accessories range.
