Choosing a Pushchair Newborn A pushchair for newborns is one of the most essential baby items you'll require. There are many options available, but it is important to choose the right one for your family and you. Experts suggest that babies lie flat for the first few months, so look for a product with an adjustable seat that can be used from the time of birth. Safety When choosing a stroller, the security of your child is paramount. A good pushchair should include a seat that can recline to a lie-flat position and a five-point harness which is padded and has firm connections. Carrycots are the best option for newborns. They should not be put in the seat of the main one. If your pushchair doesn't come with a carrycot, you may want to consider a travel system that is a car seat and pram in one. The frame of your stroller must be sturdy and stable and have a wide base to ensure that it does not slide over easily. Do not overload the back of your pushchair with bags of shopping or toys because this could affect its stability. If pushchair pram has three wheels, it must have a good suspension. The wheels should be made of rubber or PU to absorb shocks. Look for brakes that are simple to operate and make sure that they're working properly before you strap your child in. A high-quality pushchair will come with a rain cover that is zipped in place and has a protective lining. This will keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy or hood that can be extended to provide more coverage if required. Make sure that the handlebars of your pushchair are adjustable for parents to find the most comfortable position when pushing and driving. You might want to buy an infant footmuff, which is sold in most pushchair brands, this keeps your baby warm and can be removed when it becomes too hot. It is recommended to carry this along when you go out and about in cold weather or when the sun starts to shine. It is crucial to confirm that any pram, pushchair or buggy you purchase is compliant with British safety standards and, if it is part of a travel system, also European safety standards ECE R44/04 or R129 i-Size. Before you start using the pushchair, ensure that you've read all the directions. You should also show anyone who may use it how to fold, open and secure it. When the pushchair isn't in use, release all locking mechanisms. Comfort Newborn babies have a very small neck and little strength which is why they must lie flat in order to be comfortable and breathe. A pushchair without a lie-flat model is not suited to be used by newborns or infants. They could fall asleep in a upright position which could prevent their airways from opening fully and could result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. To ensure that your baby is always comfortable Choose a reclining pushchair with a seat that is lie-flat that can be used from birth. This type of pushchair is usually called a pram, however it's also known as a stroller or buggy. In addition to a lie-flat seat unit, look out for other newborn-friendly features like the ability to raise and lower the chassis from the footrest, and a spacious seat with 3 adjustable height positions – you can even use it while you're feeding your baby or toddler. You should also think about buying a footmuff, which is made of soft and comfortable material and protects your child from sun while keeping them warm and cozy. Many brands sell them separately or in their bundles of pushchairs and accessories. Many parents decide to purchase several pushchairs and upgrade them as their child develops. If you're planning to do this, be sure you select a light pushchair with a sturdy suspension, a huge rear tire for rough terrain or city use and one-handed folding. Travel systems that combine a car seat, carrycot or pushchair chassis with a seat unit and chassis are another great option for newborns and babies. They are great for long trips, since young children can be taken in a safe manner in their car seat or carrycot and later transferred to the pushchair when they're ready to sit up. Style A pushchair for newborns is among the most important baby items you'll make, therefore it should be comfortable and easy to use. Look for features such as the comfort of a cushioned seat and an adjustable handlebar to find the perfect position for your child and you. You should also ensure that the seat is durable enough for everyday use and will withstand some bumps on the road. It is crucial to purchase a pram which can accommodate your newborn in this position. This will help the development of their spine and lungs. This is the reason why many prams that are 'from birth' come with a carrycot that can be connected to the chassis, ensuring that your baby is always close to you. Be sure to read the specifications to be sure. Some prams have the option of lying flat, but without a carrycot. They could be suitable for infants up to six months old. You can also purchase a travel system, which usually comes with an infant car seat and is ready to go as soon as your baby is born. The Graco Near2Me function on the egg2 is specifically suitable for babies as it allows you to bring your baby closer with the touch a button. It's great for maintaining eye contact and for bonding, says parent tester Jaya. It can be used in conjunction with the car seat, carrycot or seat attachments to the unit. This makes it an excellent option for a trip with a child. There's a wide selection of styles, colours and patterns to match your home decor or nursery, but try to avoid anything that is too bright, which could be distracting for your baby. You'll likely use your pushchair for several years so it's worth investing in a style that you'll love for a few years later. If you're looking for a stylish lightweight and compact pushchair that folds up then the YOYO2 pushchair by Babyzen is a good option. It features a smooth curve with an opulent feel for your infant and comes with a removable carrycot. This compact city stroller is a favorite of parents who are looking for a compact, city-friendly pram. It also comes with a few additional features like a useful mug holders. Weight If you're looking for a light pushchair newborn or a larger model that can accommodate a toddler, there are plenty of choices. It's important to keep in mind that a baby born today can be quite heavy so take a look at the weight of a pushchair or pram (with and without a carrycot attached) as it's an important consideration in case you're frequently travelling or use public transport frequently or simply want something that's easy to carry in and out of your car's boot or climb up and down stairs. The newborns, unlike the older children have a sluggish neck muscles. They should be able lie on their backs when they sleep. Expert advice suggests that young babies should not travel long distances in pushchairs that don't offer this option as they could experience breathing problems due to the position of their necks scrunched. This is a factor that can contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A pram or pushchair is suitable from birth, and most models have the option of adding the carrycot, which is perfect for infants, especially if they are very small. Some brands also offer a range of different pram and pushchair combinations or 'travel systems' which include both the carrycot as well as a seat unit as well as adapters to your car seat so you can use them both from the beginning. A twin pushchair with two seats on either side is ideal for twins or siblings who wish to be in the same room. They tend to weigh more than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate seats and baby carriers. A stroller or buggy that is light is ideal for frequent users of public transport or you reside in an urban location where space is scarce. You should also check how compactly the stroller or buggy can be folded, and how easily it can be inserted into the doors of your house. You could also consider a stroller that folds away or a buggy with a storage basket to store your bags of shopping and changing kit.
