Buying a New Born Push Chair

A premium pushchair that's perfect for newborns thanks to luxury woven fabrics and a padded back for better support. It is also easy to assemble, and can effortlessly navigate the narrow aisles of a store.

Choose a model that has the carrycot, or a combination of the car seat and carriercot, which is ideal for infants. Some models come with a reversible unit, so you can decide if your baby is facing you or the the world.

Safety

The pushchair, sometimes referred to as a stroller or buggy pushchair, is one of the most commonly used baby products. Safety is the top priority when selecting a pushchair. Choose a five-point safety harness. The harness locks the child in the seat with five points - two across shoulders as well as around hips and between legs, and two in the middle. This system stops the child from sliding out of the seat in the event that the car falls over, or when driving over a kerb with a steep slope.

A carrycot or infant car seat / pram & carrycot combination is essential for infants since they need the ability to lie flat, which protects their spine and allows them to fully open their airways. This is essential because it lowers the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Babies born today should not be pushed for long distances in an infant pushchair that does not have this facility even if they are able to be pushed in a reclined seat unit.

It is also advisable to buy a pushchair that is suitable from the time of birth. This means that the pushchair can be used with a lie-flat carrycot or pram or infant car seat and that it has a fully reversible seat unit so that the baby can look at either their parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller need to be sturdy, have good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs come with pneumatic tyres which absorb shocks better than conventional tyres and are able to run on rough terrain.

Accessories such as shopping baskets, pram changing bags, or raincovers can be useful particularly if you're running errands while your baby is in tow. Many pushchairs have a hood which can be pulled over the baby's face to protect it from sun or wind. Certain hoods are adjustable to suit the conditions.

Comfort

You'll want a pushchair for your newborn that is comfortable for the baby and the parents. This could mean padded seats as well as a pushchair that is easy to move, but also sturdy enough to stand up to rough terrain. You should also think about other features like storage options and protection against weather. If you intend to use the pushchair for jogging or off-road adventures, you'll require an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels, designed to provide your little one optimum comfort on the roughest ground.

The most suitable pushchair for the newborn is one that is a travel system or pram that comes with a carrycot. This will allow your baby to sleep in a natural lying-flat position, which is crucial for developing the spine and lungs. Some pushchairs marketed as suitable for babies will actually require your child to sit up independently before they can be used, therefore make sure you check this before buying.

A bassinet can be used to create a cot-like environment for your baby to relax while remaining secure and safe in the pushchair. They're typically more expensive than a standard pushchair or even a travel system, but they can be worth the extra cost when your baby is content to go in this type of seat.

Many pushchairs come with the option to 'face' the seat towards you, for bonding and comfort or to turn away from you, to explore the world. They are often called parent-facing or world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs have a single to double option. This means they can be converted into a double pushchair without the need for a separate frame.

For hot days you'll need an umbrella for your pushchair to protect your baby from the sun and avoid overheating. Look for it in pushchair bundles or separately. In colder weather it is possible to add a footmuff, which will keep your baby warm and snug. They are available in different designs, and the majority can be washed by a machine.

Style

It is important to pay attention to the details when shopping for a new baby pushchair because this is one of the most frequently used products. For instance, some models are made to be used on rough terrain and have large wheels and a heavier frame that is heavy duty. Others are lighter and easy to move especially when folded. Certain models also have adjustable seat padding, a extendable SPF canopy and a footmuff that keeps warm in colder weather.

It is recommended that infants lie flat, as this helps with the development of their spine and opens their airways. It is recommended to use a pram/pushchair that has a carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs feature a reclined seat or carrycot that are suitable for babies from the time of birth. Check that this feature is available as some descriptions only state the option of reclining, but do not mention the option of a lie-flat seat.

Most pushchairs allow you to select between a parent-facing or a world facing unit. This allows you to select whether your child is facing you for reassurance or bonding with you, or is away from you in order to explore the world. Some pushchairs allow both simultaneously!

Many pushchairs come with a variety of accessories, including baskets and shopping trays to simplify the lives of parents. Some pushchairs include an inbuilt sunshade that is made of UPF50 or SPF+ fabrics. This helps protect your baby from sun. Other popular accessories include a sunshade that can be attached with a clamp to the pushchair frame or a sunmuff that is often included in the package or sold as an add-on.

Budget

It's important to spend time researching your options and adhere to your budget. It's important to consider that the pram will stay in your home for a long time and it's also the most frequently used item, so ensure you buy one that fits your needs and is comfortable for both you and your baby.

Think about purchasing a travel set-up which includes a carrycot and seat. This is the most safest method of transporting your baby because it guarantees that they sleep flat. This is the best way to protect their spine and open up their airways. Newborns should be carried in a reclining position until they are six months old.

Some pushchairs are able to be used as early as birth, and have seats that fully recline to an upright position. This is crucial as it helps protect a newborn's developing spine and allows them to sleep comfortably on long journeys. It's important to note that not all pushchairs labeled "lie-flat" actually offer a fully flat position. You should check this prior to buying.

Consider a model that has an ample basket to hold all the baby's necessities and other necessities. The basket should be easily accessible and you should not have to struggle to carry your shopping in or take out your baby's stroller.

Another factor to consider is the wheels, which can vary from model to model. Some models have wheels that can be locked, swivelled, or fixed to aid in maneuvering the pushchair. Some have larger wheels, which are more stable on rough terrain, or are fitted with PU tires that are made to resist puncture.

Be aware of the dimensions of the handlebar, and if it can be adjusted to your height. Additionally, you should ensure that the pushchair folds down small enough to fit into your car's boot or on public transport. Certain models, such as the Joie Vinca comes with one-handed folds that were highly rated by our MFM home testers and has earned it an award of Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
