Buying a New Born Push Chair

A premium pushchair that's ideal for babies due to its luxurious knitted fabrics and ergonomic support. It's also simple to put together and can easily manage narrow aisles in the shops.

Newborns should always lay flat, so look for a model that has either a carrycot or car seat/carrycot combination that is suitable from birth. Some models come with an reversible design, which means you can choose whether your baby is facing you or the rest of the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also known as buggy, pram, or stroller) is among the most commonly used baby items, so safety should be a priority when choosing one. The first thing to look for is a harness with five points. This system secures the child in the seat by securing 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 if it falls over or is driving down or up a steep kerb.

A carrycot or infant car seat / pram & carrycot combination is a must for newborns as they require the ability to lie flat, which protects their spine and allows them to fully open their airways. This is important 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 provide this feature even if they could be pushed in a reclining seat unit.

It is also recommended to purchase a pushchair that is suitable from the moment of birth. This means that the pushchair can be used with a lie-flat carrycot or pram for infants and that it has an entirely reversible seat to let the baby look at either their parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller should be strong, have a good suspension, and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs are fitted with pneumatic tyres that absorb shocks more effectively than standard tyres and can be used on terrains that are rough.

Accessories such as shopping baskets or pram changing bags or raincovers can be useful particularly when you are running errands while your baby is in tow. A lot of pushchairs come with the option of a hood that can be placed over the face of the baby to protect it from sun or wind. Certain hoods are adjustable to accommodate the weather.

Comfort

You'll want a egg pushchair for your newborn that is comfortable for both the baby and the parents. This could mean padding for the seats as well as a pushchair parent facing that is simple to move around, but also sturdy enough to stand up to rough terrain. Consider features like storage and protection against weather. If you intend to use the pushchair for jogging, or off road adventures you will need an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels, designed to offer your little one optimum comfort on the most uneven ground.

The ideal pushchair for a newborn would be a pram or travel system that has the option of a carry cot that allows your baby to rest in their natural lying down position, which is crucial for the development of a healthy spine and lung. Some pushchairs that are labeled "suitable for babies from birth" require that your child sit up on their own. Check this prior to making an purchase.

A bassinet can be used to create a cot-like space where your child can relax while being secure and safe within the pushchair. These seats are typically more expensive than a travel system. If your child is happy in the seat, it could be worth the cost.

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 commonly described as parent-facing and world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs for Active Parents come with the option of converting from single to double. This means they can be converted into a double pushchair without needing an additional frame.

On hot days, you will want a pushchair parasol to help protect your baby from the sun and to prevent overheating. Find it in pushchair bundles, or separately. You might want to add a footmuff in colder temperatures. It will keep your baby warm. These are available in various styles, and can be washed in the washing machine.

Style

It is crucial to pay attention to the details when shopping for the latest baby pushchair as this will be one of the most frequently used products. Some models are made for rough terrain, and have larger wheels with a heavy-duty frame. Some models are lighter and easier to move when folded. Some also feature adjustable seat cushions, an extensible SPF canopy and the footmuff to keep you warm in colder weather.

It is recommended that newborns lie flat, as this helps with the development of their spine and opens their airways. This is best achieved with the use of a carrycot and pram or a travel pushchair system. Some pushchairs include a carrycot or seat unit that can recline completely. They are suitable for babies from birth. It is essential to confirm whether this feature is present because some descriptions only mention a reclining chair without defining if it is a lie-flat option.

Most pushchairs and strollers let you choose between a parent-facing or a world facing unit. This lets you select whether your child is facing you for bonding or reassurance with you, or is away from you to explore the world. Some even have both choices at the same time!

Many pushchairs are equipped with accessories, such as shopping baskets and trays to make life easier for parents. Some pushchairs include an inbuilt sunshade that is made of SPF or UPF50+ fabrics. This protects the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include parasols that can be clamped to the pushchair frame or sunmuffs, which are usually sold separately.

Budget

A new pram is likely to be among the most expensive items your baby will own so it's important you spend time researching and buying within your budget. Remember that you will use your pushchair for a long time and that it is the most used item. You should pick one that fits your lifestyle and is comfortable both for you and your child.

Think about purchasing a travel set-up which includes a carrycot and seat. This is the safest method of transporting a baby since it makes sure they are lying flat. This is the best way to ensure their spinal development and allow their airways to open. Newborns should be carried in a lie-flat position until they reach six months old.

Some pushchairs can be used as early as birth, and also have an adjustable seat that can be reclined to an upright position. This is important because it protects a baby's spine as it grows and lets them sleep comfortably on long journeys. It is important to note that not all pushchairs which claim they are 'lie-flat' actually offer the full flat position, and you need to check this before making your purchase.

Consider a model that has a large basket for all the baby's essentials and other things. The basket should be easily accessible and you shouldn't have to struggle to get your shopping done or take out your baby's stroller.

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

Consider the size of the handlebar, and if it can be adjusted to your height. Lastly, you need to make sure the pushchair folds enough to fit into your car's trunk or onto public transport. Certain models, such as the Joie Vinca comes with a one-handed fold which was highly rated by our MFM home testers and was awarded a Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
