Choosing a Newborn Pushchair

New parents may be pondering whether a pram, stroller or buggy is best for their newborn. In general, a pram is designed for newborns and infants with a flat seat that fully reclines to aid in breathing and the development of their spine.

It is recommended that infants be in a lying-flat position for the first six months. This can be achieved by affixing an infant bassinet or a carrycot to the frame of a pram.

Lie-flat pushchairs

A pushchair that is lying flat is an essential item for new parents and newborns. According to research, infants should be able to lie flat, rather than sitting upright in a pram or seat. This helps promote the health of their spine and lung growth. A reclining pushchair can also help to make your new baby feel comfortable and calm during long walks or trips out.

A wide choice of pram accessories is available to purchase including a parasol, footmuff and car seat cover. A sunshade, or extendable SPF50+ canopy, can protect your baby against the sun. A footmuff provides additional padding to ensure comfort and is ideal for colder days. A car seat cover is a useful accessory, as it will help to protect your baby's car seat from spilled drinks, food and general wear and wear and tear.

A few of the top pushchairs offer a travel system option whereby you can add a car seat for infants and carrycot to the chassis for a complete newborn package. Based on the brand you select, this could be a cost effective way to purchase a pushchair and car seat in one. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 for example includes a special infant pack that transforms the buggy into a pram by incorporating a bassinet and car seat.

A lot of newborns will require a carrycot for the first few months as they cannot sit fold up pushchair in a pushchair yet. Carrycots are infant carrier that is connected to the chassis of a stroller and used up to six months as a sleeping device. Some carrycots come with an eye-catching panel, sunshade or can be removed from the chassis and used as a stand-alone item for long car journeys.

If a carrycot does not come included with the pushchair shops, you can buy it separately and attach it to the chassis using adaptors. A carrycot is recommended to be cleaned regularly and checked for mold and dampness. If mould or mildew are found, the fabric needs to be cleaned, brushed and washed with cool soapy water, and dried outside away from other strollers.

Prams

Newborns need a fully reclining seat that lets them lie flat, but this isn't always offered by pushchairs. Prams are the best choice for newborns, and some models also have an adjustable seat position so that babies can sit up a bit and help with reflux.

A pram is made for carrying newborns and infants. They are generally more durable than strollers. Prams are able to be used from the time of birth, and typically include a bassinet or carrycot which can be connected to their frame.
