Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is one of the most important baby items you'll need. There are a variety of options available, but it is important to choose the right one for your family and you.

Experts suggest that infants be able to lie flat within the first few months. Look for a model that has a fully reclined seat that can also be used at birth.

Safety

When selecting a stroller, the safety of your child is the most important consideration. A good pushchair should include a seat that can recline to lie flat and a five-point harness which is padded and has firm connections. Babys should be carried in a carrycot and not in the main seat. If your stroller does not come with a carrycot, you should think about an alternative travel system that is a car seat and foldable pram in one.

The frame of your pushchair must be stable and have a broad base to ensure that it doesn't tip over easily. Do not overload the back of your pushchair with shopping bags or toys because this could affect its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels then it must have good suspension and the wheels must be made of rubber or PU for better shock absorption. Look for brakes that are easy to operate and check whether they're functioning properly before you fasten your baby in.

A good quality pushchair will include a raincover that can be fitted with a zipper and an outer lining that is waterproof. This will keep your baby comfortable and dry. Some pushchairs feature sun canopy or hood that can be extended to provide more protection when required. Check that the handlebars on your pushchair are adjustable for parents to find the most comfortable position when pushing and driving.

You may wish to purchase a footmuff which is available in all pushchairs, it keeps your baby warm and is easily removed if it becomes too hot. This is a great item to carry around when you are out and about, especially in colder weather.

Make sure that the pushchair, buggy, or pram you purchase is in compliance with British safety standards. If it's part a travel system, ensure whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 and R129. Before you use the pushchair, make sure that you have read the directions. You should also show anyone who may use it to fold open, close and secure it. When the pushchair isn't in use, unlock all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and little strength and therefore, they need to lie flat in order to be comfortable and to breathe. A pushchair without a lie flat model is not suited to be used by infants or newborns. They may fall asleep in a seated position, which can prevent their airways from opening fully and could cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Weight

There are a variety of options available, whether you're looking for an infant pushchair or one that can accommodate your toddler. It is important to remember that a new born baby is quite heavy, so look at the weight of a running pushchair or pram (with and without a carrycot attached) as it's an important factor to consider in case you're frequently travelling and rely on public transport regularly or simply want something that's easy to lift out and into your car's trunk or to climb and descend stairs.

Young children, unlike older ones, have very little neck muscles. They need to be able to lie flat when they sleep. Experts advise that babies should not be taken on long journeys using pushchairs that do not offer this option as they may develop breathing issues due to the position of their necks scrunched up. This is one of the risk factors that can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pushchair or pram is suitable from birth, and many models offer the option of adding a carrycot which is ideal for infants, especially if they are very small. Some brands offer a variety of pushchair and pram combinations or 'travel system' which include both the seat unit and carrycot and adapters for your child's car seat.

If you're a frequent traveller by public transport or live in an area that has limited space, a compact buggy is the best option. It's also a good idea to check how compact the pushchair folds away and whether it will be able to fit through your doorways at home. It is also possible to consider the stroller or buggy that folds away with storage baskets so you can put shopping bags and your changing kit.
