Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

The choice of a newborn pushchair is among the biggest decisions you'll make for your child. The right model will aid your baby's growth and be in good health.

Experts suggest that babies lie flat to aid in breathing and development. 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 as it improves their back, development, and breathing. It is essential to ensure that the pushchair you are contemplating is able to lie flat. One way to test a pushchair is to ask the shop assistant if you can try it out and see if it can comfortably lay down with your child in it.

Choosing a newborn pram with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a lie-flat seat is a fantastic option for babies in the early years as it will allow them to sleep in a fully reclined position, protecting their spine and helping them to breathe normally. Some strollers and prams include a carrycot for infants included while others have the option of securing one separately to the frame, and then swapping it for the seat when your baby is old enough.

The majority of experts agree that babies should be placed in a stroller or carrycot with their parents facing them. This allows them to view their parents directly and allows parents to keep track of their needs as well as monitor their infant. Many new parents aren't sure which direction to choose for their baby or when they can let them be exposed to the world.

Travel systems are popular because they permit you to use your baby's carrycot or cocoon on the frame of the pushchair, and then move to a reclining seat once your child has reached a certain age. This eliminates the headache of purchasing separate items. Certain models also offer the option of converting from single pushchair to double when your baby grows, giving you flexibility and making it possible to save money by purchasing only one piece of equipment. It is important to check the weight of a Travel System pushchairs system (with and without the carrycot attached) because you might find it heavier than other pushchairs, particularly if you are going to be taking public transport or travelling often with your child. It is also important to check the stability of a travel system and whether it's self-standing when folded. You'll need a stroller that is sturdy and can be able to support the weight of a growing infant.

All-terrain models

The best pushchair for newborns is one that's designed to tackle all kinds of terrain. This is especially important if you live in the countryside or prefer to go for walks in the country and are likely to encounter uneven surfaces and bumpy terrain. There are a variety of models that were specifically designed for this kind of terrain. The main thing to do is determine how durable and robust the chassis is, and whether there's a suspension system in place to help with the ride over rough ground. If the tyres have air in them, it's important to consider whether you'll need a pump to fix punctures or a puncture repair tool.

There are many strollers that are all-terrain. They include models made by the top names in the world of baby equipment. One of the most well-known is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller that has a stellar reputation and can be used starting at birth with the carrycot or the first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleeping). Its air-filled tyres are perfect for off-road use and its suspension will help to cushion your baby's ride. Once your child reaches the right age, it's appropriate for running.

Another alternative is the iCandy Core, which can be used in a double or single mode and has a large basket that can hold up to 10kg of shopping. The front wheels are bigger than most single pushchairs, which makes it easier to manoeuvre over a wider range of surfaces. It comes with a recliner that can be adjusted to a nearly flat position. It is also equipped with an infant car seat adaptor so it can be used for a travel system.

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

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are a myriad of pushchairs. When choosing one for your child be sure to consider the following factors:

A new born baby needs to lie flat to promote healthy spine development. This is usually done in a pram or carrycot, but once they're older you can move to a pushchair seat and then an infant seat. It is best to opt for a 3 in 1 stroller or a travel system pram or bundle. This allows your child to grow up with it. It typically consists of an frame that houses a car seat/premium and a baby seat that snaps onto the chassis.

You might also want to consider a reversible seating unit, so that you can use it with your baby facing you, or turn it around to allow them to experience the world around them. This will keep them comfortable and calm. Certain models may even come with a parent-facing canopy, which will allow you to keep an eye on them and keep eye contact throughout the trip.

Another aspect to consider is the weight of your pushchair. You don't want to have to carry it on and off public transport or in and out of your car often, so check that it's light. In addition, you'll need to make sure that the pushchair folds well and compactly, which makes it easier to fit in the trunk of your car.

If you have plans to travel with your family, check that the stroller is easy to maneuver and can be easily folded down to store it. This is crucial, particularly if you plan to use the pushchair abroad, where customs officials might need to inspect it for safety reasons.

Consider whether the pushchair is single or linked-handled, and whether it comes with an adjustable height. Links handles are easier to push with just one hand, while single handles let you fold it more compactly. You may want to think about a height-adjustable steering wheel also, which could be helpful to grandparents who might help you with it. You don't want to be battling for hours to assemble and deconstruct your pushchair with a child who weighs a lot on board!

Storage space

A well-designed and spacious basket is essential to keep the baby's changing kit and toys. You should choose one that has a big storage space that is accessible quickly when using the carrycot. It is also important to find a model where you don't have to remove your baby from the cot to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a light portable crib that has a handle and can be affixed to a pushchair chassis to create an entire travel system. They are commonly used by newborns and are an important element of the "from birth" pushchair. They let your baby lay flat, which is better for their lung and spinal development.

A sun canopy is a vital accessory to a pushchair since it helps to protect your child from the elements. Some models have sunshades built-in, while others come with a removable SPF/UPF50+ sunshades. Consider the use of a footstrap to keep your baby warm during the colder months. Look for models that include one in the bundle or accessories range.
