Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A newborn pushchair is one of the most important baby items you'll require. There's a lot of choice out there, but it's important to choose the best one for your family.

Experts suggest that infants be able to lay flat in the first few months. Find models that have a fully reclined seat that can also be used from birth.

Safety

The safety of your child is paramount when choosing the right pushchair. A quality pushchair should include a seat that reclines to a flat position, and a five-point harness well-padded and has strong connections. Carrycots are the best option for infants. They should not be placed in the main seat. If your baby's pushchair doesn't come with a carrycot, you might want to consider a travel system that is composed of a car seat and a pram.

The frame of your cheap stroller needs to be sturdy, and it should have a wide base so that it isn't able to slide over easily. It is also a good idea to avoid overloading the back of your chair with toys or shopping bags as this can affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair has three wheels, it should have a good suspension. The wheels should also be made from rubber or PU to absorb shocks. Look for brakes that are easy to operate and check that they're working properly before you strap your child in.

A good quality pushchair must have a raincover which is fitted with a zip and is lined with a protective lining this will help to keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy, also known as a hood, that can be extended for more coverage. Also, make sure whether your child's pushchair has a handlebar that is adjustable for parents so you can find the most comfortable position for pushing and driving.

You might consider purchasing an infant footmuff, which is sold in most pushchair brands. It keeps your baby warm and can be removed when it becomes too hot. This is a great item to have on hand when you are out and about, especially in cold weather.

It is important to check that any pushchair, pram or buggy you purchase conforms to British safety standards and, if part of a travel system, also European safety standards ECE R44/04 or R129 iSize. Make sure you've gone through all the directions and show anyone who might use the pushchair how to open, fold and secure it prior to when they begin using it. Also, ensure that you release any locking devices when the pushchair is not being used.

Comfort

Newborn babies are very small and have little strength in their necks, therefore they need to lie flat to ensure their comfort and to help their breathing. A pushchair which doesn't have a seat that can lie flat isn't suitable for infants or newborns as they can fall asleep in a position that is too high and could block their airways from opening fully, potentially leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Select a stroller that reclines with seats that can be used flat from the time of birth. This kind of pushchair is often referred to as pram, but it is also referred to as a buggy or stroller.

Consider features that are suitable for newborns like the capability to lower or raise the chassis at the footrest. You can also use the seat while feeding your child. You should also consider purchasing a footmuff, which is made of soft and comfortable material and shields your child from the sun while keeping them warm and snug. Most manufacturers include a footmuff with their pushchair bundles and accessories or sell them separately.

Many parents choose to buy multiple pushchairs, and then upgrade them as their child grows. If you're planning on doing this, be sure to select an easy-to-use pushchair that has excellent suspension and a large rear tyre to handle urban and rough terrain and a simple to fold design that can be folded with one hand.

A travel system, which incorporates a car seat and carrycot with a pushchair chassis and seat unit is another great option for newborns and babies. They are great for long journeys, as young children can be taken safely in their car seat or carrycot then transferred to the pushchair once they're ready to sit up.

It is important that you purchase a pram which can be able to accommodate your newborn in this position. This will aid in their spinal and lungs develop. A lot of 'from birth" prams come with the option of a carrycot attached to the chassis. This allows your baby to be close to you.

Weight

Whether you're looking for a lightweight pushchair for your newborn or a larger model that can handle toddlers There are a lot of choices. You should consider that a baby's weight can be quite heavy. Therefore, you must look at the weight (with or without the carrycot) of a pram or pushchair. This is especially important if you travel a lot or take public transport often.

Young children, unlike older ones have a sluggish neck muscle strength. They need to be able lie flat when they sleep. Expert advice suggests that young babies should not travel long distances in pushchairs which do not provide this option because they could experience breathing problems due to the position of their necks scrunched. This is a risk factor that contributes to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pushchair or pram is suitable from birth, and many models offer the option of adding an infant carrycot that is ideal for newborns, particularly if they are very small. Some brands also provide a range of different pram and pushchair combinations or 'travel systems' which include both the carrycot and seat unit, as well as adapters for your car seat so that you can use them both from the beginning.

You can also opt for Twin Pushchairs (Optimrus.Ru) that have two seats that are side-by-side which is ideal for twins or siblings who want to keep each other together. These are heavier than single pushchairs as they need to accommodate seats as well as baby carriers.
