Buying a New Born Push Chair

This high-end pushchair is perfect for newborns, thanks to its luxurious weaved fabric and ergonomic support. It's also easy to assemble and effortlessly navigate the narrow aisles of a store.

Newborns should ideally lie flat, so go for a baby model that comes with a carrycot or car seat/carrycot combination suitable from birth. Some have a reversible seat unit, allowing you to have your baby either face either you or the world.

Safety

The pushchair, sometimes referred to as a buggy or stroller is among the most commonly used baby products. Safety should be a top priority when choosing a pushchair. The first thing you should look for is a harness with five points. The harness locks the child into the seat using five points: two across shoulders as well as around hips and between legs, and two in the middle. This system helps prevent the child from falling out of the seat in the event that it falls over or is driving down or up the kerb that is steep.

A carrycot or infant car seat/ pram and carrycot combination is a must for newborns as they require the ability to lie flat, which protects their spine and lets their airways breathe fully. This is essential because it lowers the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Newborn babies should not travel for long distances using an infant pushchair that does not come with this feature even if they are able to be pushed in a reclining seat unit.

It is also recommended to buy a pushchair that is suitable for babies from the moment of birth. The black pushchair must be able to be used with a carrycot that can lay flat, or an infant car seat or pram. It should also include a seat unit that is fully reversible so that the baby can be able to face either the parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller should be robust with a good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs come with pneumatic tyres that can absorb shocks better than tyres that are standard and can be used on terrains that are rough.

Additional accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets, or pram changing bags can be useful in everyday use, especially when you are running errands with your baby in the stroller. Many pushchairs come with the option of a hood that is pulled down over the baby's head to protect them from sun and the wind. Certain hoods are adjustable with the ability to lower or raise them according to the weather.

Comfort

When it comes down to newborn pushchairs you want one that is comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. This can mean padded seats that are easy to manoeuvre and sturdy enough to withstand rough terrain. Think about features such as storage and protection against weather. If you intend to use the stroller to run, or off-road adventures, you will need a pushchair that has larger wheels. This will provide your child maximum comfort on the most uneven terrain.

The ideal pushchair for a newborn will be a pram or a travel system that has an cot with a carry-on, allowing your newborn to sleep in their natural lying flat position, which is vital for good lung and spine development. Some pushchairs pushchairs labeled "suitable from birth" require that your child sit up on their own. Be sure to verify this prior to making the purchase.

A bassinet is an alternative offering a small crib-like area for your baby to relax in, while still being safe and secure in the pushchair. They are generally more expensive than a collapsible pushchair or travel system. But, if your child is content in the seat, it might be worth the expense.

Many pushchairs offer the option of facing the seat towards you, for reassurance and bonding or, if you prefer, away from you to explore the world. They are often referred to by the terms facing the world or towards parents. Some models will come with a single-to-double pushchair parent facing option, meaning they can be converted to accommodate two children without the need for an additional double pushchair frame.

You'll need a parasol for your pushchair on hot days to protect your child from the sun and avoid overheating. Many manufacturers include this in the pushchair bundle or sell it separately, so look out for this. In colder temperatures you might want to add a footmuff, which will keep your baby warm and cozy. There's a broad variety of them, with most being fully machine washable.

Style

When you are looking for a new push chair it is important to look at the finer details, especially because it will be one of your most used baby products. Some models are made for rough terrain and have larger wheels with a heavy-duty frame. Some models are lighter and easier to maneuver when folded. Some have adjustable seat cushions, an extensible SPF canopy and a footmuff for colder weather.

It is recommended that you lay newborns flat on their backs, as this assists in spinal development and opens their airways. It is best to use a pushchair or pram with a carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs come with a carrycot or seat unit which can fully recline. They are suitable for infants from birth. Make sure that this feature is available, as certain descriptions only mention a reclining option without mentioning a lie-flat seat.

The majority of pushchairs let you select between a parent facing or a world facing seat unit. This allows you to select whether your child is facing you to bond with you or for reassurance with you, or is away from you to explore the world. Some pushchairs allow both simultaneously!

Many pushchairs come with a variety of accessories, such as shopping trays and baskets to simplify the lives of parents. Some pushchairs come with an inbuilt sunshade made of SPF or UPF50+ fabrics. This protects the baby against the sun. Other popular accessories include parasols that can be fixed to the frame of the pushchair or sunmuffs, which are often sold separately.

Budget

It's important to spend time researching your options and stick to your budget. It's important to keep in mind that the pram will stay in your home for a long time, and it's also the most frequently used item, so ensure you buy one that suits your lifestyle and is comfortable for you and your baby.

You may want to consider purchasing a travel set-up, that includes a carry cot and a seat. This is the safest method of transporting a newborn since it makes sure they sleep flat. This is great for protecting their spine development and opening up their airways. Newborns should always be transported in a lying position until they reach six months old.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth and come with an adjustable seat that can fully recline to a lie-flat position. This is important because it protects a newborn's spine as it develops and allows them to sleep comfortably on long journeys. It's important to remember that not all pushchairs that state they are 'lie-flat' actually have the flat position in full and you need to check this prior to purchasing.

It is also worth thinking about the option of a model that has a large shopping basket, which will be essential to store all your baby's necessities and other belongings. The basket should be easy to access and you shouldn't have to struggle to get your shopping in or out of your baby's carrycot.

Wheels also differ between models. Certain models have wheels that can be locked, swivelled or fixed to help you maneuver the pushchair. Some have larger wheels that are more stable on rough terrain or are fitted with PU tyres that are designed to resist puncture.

Be aware of the dimensions of the handlebar, and whether it is adjustable to your height. Also, you must make sure the pushchair egg folds down small enough to fit in your boot, car or onto public transport. Certain models, such as the Joie Vinca has a one-handed fold that was highly reviewed by our MFM home testers and was awarded the Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
