Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

Choosing a pushchair newborn is among the most important choices you make for your baby. The right model will help your little one develop into a healthy and comfortable.

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

Lay-flat seating

Newborns should be able to lie flat in their pushchair for the first six months because it helps their back, development and breathing. It is important to ensure that the pushchair you're contemplating is able to lie flat. Ask the shop assistant to allow you to test a pushchair and see whether your baby is at ease in it.

Selecting a baby stroller with a cocoon or carrycot that can create a lie-flat chair is a great choice for babies in the early years as it will allow them to sleep in a completely reclined position, safeguarding their spine and helping them breathe normally. Some prams include a newborn carrier included, while others allow you to connect 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 that is facing their parents or carrycot which allows them to look directly at their parents, making it easier to monitor their needs and attend to their needs. However, many new parents are unsure about what direction to choose or when their baby can start facing out to the world.

A travel system is a popular choice as it allows you to use a newborn carrycot or cocoon attached to the frame of a cabin pushchair, and then change to a reclining chair once your baby is old enough, avoiding you the hassle of buying separate items. Certain models can be transformed from a single to a double pushchair, making it possible to save on equipment and allow for flexibility as your child grows. You should consider the weight of the travel system including or without the carrycot. It could be heavier than other pushchairs. This is particularly important in the event that you intend to take public transportation or travel frequently with your child. Check the stability of the travel system, and if it stands up independently when folded. You'll need a sturdy and secure pushchair that will support the weight of your growing infant.

All-terrain models

The best baby pushchairs are ones that can handle a variety terrains. This is especially important if you live in the countryside or like to go on country walks and are likely to come across uneven surfaces and bumpy ground. The good news is that there are now numerous models specifically designed with this type of terrain in mind. It's important to check the chassis and determine whether it comes with suspension that will allow you to ride on rough terrain. The tyres must also be considered - if they're air-filled, you'll have to carry a pump, or at the very least a puncture repair kit with you.

There are a number of all-terrain pushchairs available, including those made by the top brands in baby equipment. One of the most popular is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller that has a stellar reputation and can be used from birth with the carrycot or the first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleep). The tyres with air-filled tires are ideal for off-road use and its suspension will aid in cushioning your baby's ride. When your child is of the appropriate age, the tyres are suitable for running.

Another option is the iCandy Core, which can be utilized in double or single mode and comes with a large basket that can hold up to 10kg of groceries. The front wheels are bigger than most single pushchairs, which allows it to maneuver across a wider variety of surfaces. It also has a reclining seat that can be adjusted to a near flat position. It also comes with an infant car seat adaptor so it can be used as an entire travel system.

The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is another all-terrain walk worth taking a look at. It's narrow enough to fit into bus aisles and shops and has big robust tyres that are able to be able to handle rough terrain. It comes with a huge basket and can fold in one hand. It's expensive, however, so you'll need to weigh up the pros and cons prior to making the purchase.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are a myriad of types of pushchairs, but when choosing one for a baby, you should consider the following points:

To ensure that the spine develops properly For a healthy spine, babies should lie flat. This is best done in a pram or carrycot, but as they get older you can move to a pushchair and then a toddler seat. It is best to choose a 3 in 1 stroller or a travel system bundle or pram. This will allow your child to grow with it. It's typically a frame that has a pram/carrycot attached to it as well as an infant car seat that snaps onto.

You might also think about a reversible unit, to be able to use it with the baby facing you or turn it around and let them explore the world. This will help keep them content and reassured. Some models can even have a parent facing canopy, which will allow you to monitor them and make eye contact throughout the journey.

Another factor to consider is the weight of your pushchair. Check that it's lightweight. It's not necessary to carry it up and down from public transport or your car often, so make sure it's light. It is also important to make sure that the pushchair isn't too big and folds easily, so it can fit into the boot of your vehicle.

If you have plans to travel with your family, make sure that the stroller pushchairs is easy to maneuver and can be easily folded down for storage. This is particularly important if you're planning to take it with you overseas where customs officers may have to inspect the small pushchair for safety reasons.

Take note of whether the pushchair is a single or linked-handled model and whether it comes with an adjustable height. The linked handles are more comfortable to push chair with one hand, whereas single handles allow you to fold it more compactly. Consider a steering wheel which can be adjusted to height for grandparents who can assist you. The ideal thing to avoid is to struggle for hours to disassemble and assemble your pushchair, while carrying a heavy newborn on board!

Storage space

A large and sturdy basket is essential for keeping the baby's changing kit and toys. It is important to choose one with a large storage space that is accessible easily when using the carrycot. It is also crucial to choose a model in which you don't need to remove your baby from the cot to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a lightweight portable cot with a handle of some kind that can be connected to the frame of a pushchair, making it an effective travel system. They are typically used with newborns and are an essential element of the "from birth" pushchair. They let your baby lay flat, which is better for their spine and lung development.

A sun canopy is a vital addition to a pushchair as it protects your child from the elements. Some models have built-in sunshades, while others have movable extendable SPF/UPF50+ canopies. Consider a footmuff to keep your baby warm in colder winter months. Look for models that have one in the bundle or accessories range.
