Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

The choice of a newborn pushchair is one of the most crucial decisions you make for your baby. The best model will allow your child to become comfortable and healthy.

Experts recommend that babies sleep flat in order to encourage breathing and growth. This is why a quality pushchair has a lie-flat seat.

Seating with a lie-flat

Newborns should be able to lie flat in their pushchairs for the first six months as it helps their back, growth and breathing. However, not all pushchairs are flat, so it is essential to verify this prior to buying. A good method to test a new pushchair is to ask the salesperson if you can try it out and see if you are able to comfortably lie down with your child in it.

A newborn pram that has a cocoon, carrycot or a seat that can be set flat is an excellent choice for young babies. It lets them rest upright while protecting their spines and allowing them to breathe normally. Some prams have a newborn carrier included or allow you to attach one separately to the frame. If your baby gets older, you can exchange it with the seat.

The majority of experts agree that it is ideal for babies to be in a pushchair with a parent facing or carrycot, which allows them to gaze directly at their parents, making it easier to monitor and tend to their needs. However, many new parents are unsure about what direction to choose or when their baby is able to begin to look out to the world.

A travel system is a very popular choice as it allows you to use a baby carrycot or cocoon attached to the frame of a pushchair and then change to a reclining seat when your baby is older, saving you the expense of purchasing separate items. Certain models also offer the option of switching from a single to double pushchairs [his comment is here] as your baby grows, giving you flexibility and making it possible to save money by purchasing just one piece of equipment. It is important to check the weight of a travel system (with and without the carrycot included) because you might find it heavier than other pushchairs, especially if you are going to use public transport or traveling frequently with your child. It is also important to check the stability of the travel system, and if it's free-standing when folded. You'll need a stroller that is sturdy and can be able to support the weight of a growing baby.

All-terrain models

The best pushchairs for newborns are ones that can handle different terrains. This is particularly important when you reside in the countryside or love to take walks in the countryside and are likely to come across uneven surfaces and bumpy ground. There are numerous models designed specifically for this type of terrain. It's important to check the chassis and see whether it has suspension that will assist you in riding over rough terrain. If the tyres have air in them it is essential to think about whether you'll need pumps to repair a puncture or a puncture repair tool.

There are a number of all-terrain pushchairs and buggies on the market and are made by the major brands in baby equipment. One of the most sought-after is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller that has a stellar reputation and can be used starting at birth with a carrycot or first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleep). Its tyres that are filled with air are ideal for use off-road and its suspension will aid in cushioning your baby's ride. It's also suitable for running once your child is old enough.

Another alternative is the iCandy Core, which can be used in single or double mode and has a large basket that can accommodate up to 10kg of groceries. The front wheels are larger than most single pushchairs, which allows it to maneuver across a wider range of surfaces. It also comes with a reclining seat that can be set to a flat position and comes with an infant car-seat adaptor kit so it can be used as a travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair to consider is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, that is small pushchair enough to fit on shopping aisles and buses, however it has large, sturdy tyres that can cope with rough surfaces. It also has a huge basket that folds easily using just one hand. It's not cheap, however you'll have to weigh the pros and cons before making the purchase.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are a variety of pushchairs, but when choosing one for a newborn consider the following aspects:

A new born baby should lie flat to promote the development of a healthy spine. This can be done best in a carrycot or pram however, as they grow older, you can shift to a pushchair, and then a toddler seat. A 3-in-1 pushchair - also referred to as a pram travel system bundle - is the best choice, since it can grow with your child. It's typically frame with an attached pram/carrycot as well as an infant car seat that snaps on.

You might also consider a reversible seating unit, so that you can use it with your infant facing you, or turn it around so that they can experience the world. This will keep them happy and calm. Certain models come with an open canopy that faces the parent, allowing you to keep an eye on your child and keep eye contact throughout the journey.

Another thing to take into consideration is the weight of your pushchair. Check that it's lightweight. You don't need to lift it up and down from public transport or in your car frequently, so ensure it's lightweight. You'll also want to make sure that the pushchair is small and folds easily, so it will fit in the trunk of your car.

If you plan to travel with your family, check that the pushchair is easy to maneuver and is easily folded for storage. This is particularly crucial if you intend to take it with you overseas where customs officials may have to inspect your pushchair for safety concerns.

You might also want to think about whether the pushchair has one or linked handles and what height it's adjustable to. The linked handles are easier to push with just one hand, whereas single handles allow you to fold it up more compactly. Think about a steering wheel that can be adjusted in height for grandparents who could assist you. The last thing you want is to struggle for hours to put together and take down your pushchair while carrying a baby on board!

Storage space

A large and sturdy basket is essential for keeping baby's diaper kit and toys. Choose a model that has ample storage space that is easily accessible when using the carrycot, and that does not require you to take your newborn out of the cot by lifting the lid.

A carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that has a handle of some kind which can be attached to the chassis of a cabin pushchair, making it a travel system. Often used with newborns and infants, they are an essential element of an infant pushchair sale as they allow your baby to lie flat which is better for their lung and spinal development.

A sun canopy is an essential feature of a stroller because it shields your child from the elements. Some models have sunshades built-in, while others have movable extendable SPF/UPF50+ canopies. Consider the use of a footstrap to keep your baby warm during colder weather. Look for models that include one in the bundle or accessories range.
