Buying a New Born Push Chair

A high-end pushchair that's perfect for babies due to its luxurious knitted fabrics and ergonomic support. It's also easy to assemble and can easily manage narrow shop aisles.

Newborns should ideally lie flat, so go for a baby model that comes with a car seat or a carrycot combination that is suitable for babies from birth. Some models come with a reversible unit, so you can choose whether your baby faces you or the the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also called a buggy, pram or stroller pushchair) is one of the most used baby products and safety is an important consideration when choosing one. Choose a five-point safety harness. This harness locks the child in the seat with five points - two across shoulders, two around hips and between legs and two in the middle. This system prevents the child from falling out of the seat when it falls over or is driving up or down the kerb that is steep.

For newborns carrying a carrycot or infant car seats, prams and carrycots is vital. They must be able to lay flat. This helps protect their spine development and allows them to breathe freely. This is crucial as it reduces the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Babies born today should not travel for long distances using an infant pushchair that does not provide this feature even if they are able to be pushed in a reclining seat unit.

It is also recommended to purchase a stroller that is suitable from birth. This means that the pushchair is compatible with a lie-flat carrycot or pram or infant car seat and also has an entirely reversible seat to allow the baby to face either parent or world.

The wheels of the stroller must be robust with a good suspension and be easily accessible. A lot of pushchairs have pneumatic tyres that absorb shocks better than tyres that are standard and can run on uneven terrain.

Accessories like shopping baskets or pram changing bags or raincovers are useful particularly if you're conducting errands when your baby is in the car. Many pushchairs are fitted with an hood that can be placed over the baby's head to shield them from sun and the wind. Certain hoods are adjustable to accommodate the weather.

Comfort

You'll want a baby pushchair that is comfortable for the baby and the parents. This can include cushioned seats and a pushchair that is simple to move around, but also robust enough to withstand rough terrain. Think about features such as weather protection and storage. If you plan to use the stroller for jogging, or for off-road excursions, you will need an infant stroller with bigger wheels. This will allow your child the most comfort on even the most difficult terrain.

The best pushchair for a newborn would be a pram or a travel system that includes an cot with a carry-on, allowing your infant to sleep in their normal lying flat position, which is vital for good lung and spine development. Some pushchairs marketed as suitable from birth will actually require your child to be able to sit up independently before they are able to be used, so make sure you check this before making a purchase.

A bassinet can be utilized to provide a cot-like area for your baby to relax while remaining safe and secure within the pushchair. They're typically more expensive than a standard pushchair or even a travel system, but they can be worth the cost if your baby is happy to go in this type of seat.

A lot of pushchairs have the option to 'face' the seat towards you to bond and reassure or, if you prefer, away from you to explore the world. They are often known as facing the world or towards parents. Some pushchairs come with the option of converting from single to double. This means they can be converted to a double pushchair, without an additional frame.

In hot weather you'll require an umbrella for your pushchair to shield your baby from the sun and to prevent overheating. Find it in pushchair bundles or separately. In colder temperatures it is possible to add a footmuff, which will keep your baby warm and snug. You can find a wide variety of them, with most being fully machine washable.

Style

It is crucial to pay attention to details when shopping for a new baby pushchair since this is one of the most frequently used products. Some models are built for rough terrain and have larger wheels and a robust frame. Some models are lighter and easier to maneuver when folded. Some models also come with adjustable seat padding, a extendable SPF canopy and a footmuff that keeps warm in colder weather.

It is recommended that infants lie flat as this aids spinal development and opens up their airways. This can be achieved using a pram/pushchair and carrycot or a travel system. Some pushchairs come with a fully reclined seat unit or carrycot, and are suitable for babies from the time of birth. It is crucial to ensure whether this feature is available because some descriptions only refer to a reclining seat, without clarifying this is a lie-flat option.

The majority of pushchairs allow the option of either a parent facing pushchair or world facing seat unit to allow you to have your child face you for bonding and reassurance or away from you so that they can discover the world around them. Some pushchairs offer both options simultaneously!

Many pushchairs are equipped with accessories like shopping baskets and trays to help parents get their lives easier. Some pushchairs include an inbuilt sunshade made of SPF or UPF50+ fabrics. This can help protect the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include parasols that can be attached to the frame of the pushchair, or sunmuffs which are often included or sold separately.

Budget

A new pram is likely to be among the most expensive items for your baby therefore it's essential to research and purchase within your budget. Keep in mind that you will use your pushchair for a long time and that it is the most commonly used item. You should pick one that is compatible with your lifestyle and is comfortable both for you and your child.

Consider purchasing a travel system that includes a carrycot and seat. This is the safest way to transport a newborn since it guarantees that they lie flat. This is the most effective way to protect their spine and open their airways. Newborns must always be transported lying flat until they reach six months of age.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth and come with a seat that fully reclines into a lying-flat position. This is important as it helps protect a newborn's developing spine and allows them to rest comfortably during long trips. It is important to remember that not all pushchairs labeled "lie-flat" actually offer a fully flat position. You should verify this prior to buying.

Consider a model that has an ample basket to hold all the baby's essentials and other items. The basket should be simple to access and you should be able to fit your shopping in without difficulty or having to remove your baby from the carrycot.

Another thing to consider is the wheels, which differ between models. Some models have wheels that can be locked, swivelled, or fixed to help you maneuver the pushchair. Some have larger wheels that can be more stable over rough terrain or have PU tyres specifically designed to resist puncture.

Be aware of the dimensions of the handlebar and if it can be adjusted to your height. Also, you must make sure the pushchair folds small enough to fit in your boot, car or on public transport. Certain models, like the Joie Vinca come with one-handed folds that was highly reviewed by MFM home testers. It earned it an Gold Award at previous MadeForMums Awards.
