Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

The choice of a newborn pushchair is among the most crucial decisions you make for your baby. The right model will aid your baby's growth and stay healthy.

Experts advise that babies sleep flat in order to encourage breathing and development. This is why a quality pushchair will have lie-flat seating.

Lay-flat seating

Newborns need a lie-flat position in their pushchair for the first six months as it improves their back, development, and breathing. However there are some pushchairs that don't are flat, so it is crucial to confirm this prior to buying. The shop attendant should let you try out the pushchair to see if your baby is comfortable in it.

A baby stroller pushchairs that comes with a carrycot, cocoon or a seat that can be set flat is an excellent option for babies who are just starting out. It lets them rest upright while securing their spines and allowing them to breathe normally. Some prams come with baby carriers, while others permit you to attach a carrier separately to the frame. If your baby gets older, you can swap it out for the seat.

Most experts agree that newborns should be placed in a pushchair or carrycot with their parents facing them. This lets them see their parents directly and makes it easier for parents to observe their needs as well as monitor their infant. Many new parents aren't sure which direction to take for their child or when they can let them be exposed to the world.

A travel system is a popular choice as it allows you to use a baby cocoon or carrycot attached to the frame of a pushchair, and then change to a reclining seat when your baby is old enough, avoiding you the hassle of purchasing separate items. Certain models can be transformed from a single pushchair to a double pushchair, allowing you to save on equipment and be flexible as your child grows. It's worth checking the weight of the travel system (with and without the carrycot attached) because you might find it heavier than other pushchairs. This is especially true if you are going to use public transport or travelling often with your child. Verify the stability of the travel system, and whether it can stand on its own when folded. You'll need a sturdy and secure pushchair that will withstand the weight of your growing baby.

All-terrain models

The best baby pushchairs are ones that can withstand a variety terrains. This is especially important for those who reside in the countryside or prefer to go on country walks and are likely to encounter uneven surfaces and bumpy terrain. The good news is that there are now numerous models specifically designed with this type of terrain in mind. The most important thing is to determine how durable and robust the chassis is, and if there's a suspension system to help with the ride on rough terrain. If the tyres are filled with air, it's important to consider whether you'll need pumps to repair punctures or a puncture repair tool.

There are a number of all-terrain pushchairs on the market as well as those manufactured by the big names in baby equipment. One of the most sought-after is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller, which has a great reputation and is suitable from birth using a carrycot or first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleep). Its air-filled tires are ideal for off-road usage and its suspension will cushion your baby's journey. When your child reaches the right age, it's appropriate for running.

The iCandy Core is another option. It can be used as a double or a single pushchair and has a large basket that can hold up to 10kg of groceries. The front wheels are larger than those of most single pushchairs, which makes it easier to manoeuvre across a wider variety of surfaces. It also comes with a reclining seat that can be adjusted to a near-flat position and includes an infant car seat adaptor kit, which allows it to be used as a travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair worth considering is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, that is small enough to fit on shops and buses but comes with big, tough tyres that are able to withstand rough surfaces. It has a large basket and can also fold with one hand. It's expensive, however you'll have to weigh the pros and cons prior to making an investment.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are a variety of pushchairs. But, when you are deciding on one for your child be sure to consider the following factors:

To promote healthy spine development For a healthy spine, babies should lie flat. This is usually done in a pram or carrycot, but once they're older you can move to a pushchair buggy seat and then to the toddler seat. It is best to choose a 3 in 1 stroller, also known as a travel system bundle or pram. This will allow your child to grow up with it. It's typically a frame that has the pram/carrycot as well as a baby car seat that snaps on.

You might also want to consider a reversible unit so that you can either use it with your baby facing you or turn it around and let them experience the world. This will keep them content and calm. Some models have a canopy that is facing the parent, allowing you to keep an eye on your child and keep eye contact throughout the journey.

Another thing to take into consideration is the weight of your pushchair. Check that it's lightweight. You don't need to lift it up and down from public transport or in your car often, so make sure it's light. Also, you'll want make sure that the pushchair folds well and compactly, making it easier to put in the car's boot.

If you plan to travel with your family, check that the pushchair is simple to manoeuvre and can be easily folded down for storage. This is especially crucial if you plan to take it with you overseas where customs officers may need to examine your pushchair for safety reasons.

Check if the pushchair is a single or linked-handled model and whether it comes with an adjustable height. Single handles are easier to fold up and fold more compactly with single handles. Consider a steering wheel that can be adjusted to height for grandparents who may help you. You don't want to fight for hours to put together and disassemble your pushchair with a child who weighs a lot on board!

Storage space

A good sized basket is vital to keep the baby's changing kit and toys. It is important to choose an item that has a big storage space that is accessible easily when using the carrycot. It is also important to find a model where you don't need to remove your baby from the cot to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a lightweight portable cot with some sort of handle which can be attached to the frame of a pushchair up to 25kg to make it an effective travel system. They are commonly used by newborns and are an essential part of the "from birth" pushchair. They allow your baby to lay flat, which is better for their spinal and lung development.

A sun canopy is an essential accessory to a pushchair since it can help protect your child from the elements. Some models come with sunshades that are built-in, and others have removable extendable SPF/UPF50+ canopies. Consider using a footstrap to keep your baby warm in the colder months. Look for models that include one in the bundle or accessories range.
