Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is among the most essential baby items you'll require. There's a wide selection available however it's crucial to choose the best one for your family.

Experts recommend that infants should be able to lie flat in the first few months. Find models that have a fully reclined seat that can be used from birth.

Safety

When selecting a stroller, the safety of your child's is the most important consideration. A reputable pushchair should include a seat that can recline to lie flat and have a five point harness which is padded and has sturdy connections. Carrycots are the best option for newborns. They should not be put in the main seat. If your baby's pushchair doesn't come with a carrycot, you may want to consider a travel system that is a combination of a car seat and a pram.

The frame of your pushchair must be sturdy and have a wide base to prevent it tipping over easily. Be careful not to overload your pushchair's back with shopping bags or toys since this can impact its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels, it should have a solid suspension. The wheels must be made of rubber or PU to absorb shocks. Find brakes that are easy to operate and check that they are working well before you strap your baby in.

A good quality pushchair will come with a rain cover that is fitted with a zipper and an outer lining that is waterproof. This will keep your baby comfortable and dry. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy, or hood, that can be extended to give more coverage. Check that the handlebars on your pushchair can be adjusted for parents to find the most comfortable posture for pushing and driving.

Most pushchairs come with an infant footmuff to keep your baby warm. It can be removed if it becomes too hot. This is a great item to carry around when you're out and about, particularly in cold weather.

Check that the pushchair buggy, or pram that you purchase meets British safety standards. If it is part a travel system, ensure that it also meets European safety standards ECER44/04 or R129. Before you use the pushchair, make sure that you've read the instructions. It is important to teach anyone who might use it to fold, open and secure it. When the pushchair's not in use, unlock all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Infants are tiny and have weak muscles in their necks, which is why they must lay flat for their comfort and to aid their breathing. A pushchair that does not have a lie-flat model is not suited to be used by newborns or infants. They could sleep in a seated position, which will prevent their airways opening fully and can cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

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

Consider features that are suitable for newborns for example, the ability to raise or lower the chassis while sitting at the footrest. You can also use the seat for feeding your child. Consider buying a footmuff made of soft, comfortable materials that shields your child from the sun and keeps them warm. Most brands sell footmuffs separately or include them in their bundles of pushchairs and accessories.

Many parents purchase multiple pushchairs to upgrade them as their baby develops. If you're planning to do this, make sure you select a light pushchair that has a good suspension, a big rear tire for rough terrain or city use, as well as one-handed folding.

Travel systems that combine the car seat, carrycot or pushchair chassis with a chassis and seat unit are another great option for newborns and babies. They are great for long-distance travel, 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 baby pushchair is one of the most important purchases you'll make for your baby. It should be simple to use and comfortable. Consider features such as an upholstered seat that is comfortable and an adjustable handlebar so that you can choose the ideal position for you and your baby.

A lot of 'from birth" prams include the option of a carrycot connected to their chassis. This allows your baby to be close to you.

Make sure to check the specifications to ensure. Some prams have an option to lie flat without carrying cots. They might be suitable for infants up to six months old. You can also buy a travel system that comes with car seats and is available as soon as your baby is born.

Weight

In contrast to older children, newborns have a weaker strength in their neck muscles. Therefore, they must be able to lie down flat in order to sleep. Experts suggest that babies should not be transported long distances using pushchairs that do not offer this option as they could develop breathing problems due to the position of their necks scrunched up. This is a risk that can contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

A childs pram or pushchair is suitable for babies from birth and many models come with the option of incorporating the carrycot, which is perfect for babies, particularly those who are tiny. Some brands also offer various combinations of pushchair and pram or 'travel systems' which include both the carrycot and seat unit, as well as adapters for your car seat so you can combine them from the beginning.

You can also choose a twin pushchair that has two seats side by side which is ideal for twins or siblings who wish to keep each one another company. They tend to weigh more than single pushchairs as they are designed to accommodate the seat unit and baby carriers.
