Choosing a pushchair newborn (click for source)

Choosing a pushchair newborn is among the most important decisions you will make for your baby. The right model can help your baby grow comfortably and stay healthy.

Experts advise that young babies should sleep flat in order to assist breathing and develop. This is why a good pushchair has a lie-flat seat.

Seating with a lie-flat

For the first six months, newborns should lie flat in their pushchair. This is good for their back development as well as breathing. It is essential to ensure that the pushchair you are contemplating is able to lie flat. A good method to test a baby's pushchair is to ask the shop assistant to let you try it out and see if you are able to comfortably sleep with your child.

Selecting a baby stroller with a carrycot or cocoon which creates a lie-flat seating is a great choice for young babies as it allows them to sleep in a fully reclined position, securing their spine and helping them to breathe normally. Some prams come with an infant carrier or permit you to attach a carrier separately to the frame. If your baby gets older, you can swap it with the seat.

The majority of experts agree that babies should be placed in a stroller or carrycot facing their parents. This allows them to be able to see their parents in a direct manner and makes it easier for their parents to monitor their needs and supervise their child. Many new parents aren't sure of which direction to take for their baby or when they can let them explore the world.

The reason why they are so popular is because they let you use your newborn's carrycot or cocoon on the frame of the pushchair, and then move to a reclining chair when your child is older. This will eliminate the headache of purchasing separate items. Some models also come with the option of changing from a single to double pushchairs as your baby grows, giving you flexibility and giving you the opportunity to save money by purchasing only one piece of equipment. You should check the weight of the travel system with or without the carrycot. It could be heavier than other pushchairs. This is particularly important if you plan to take public transport or travel often with your child. Examine the stability of the travel system and whether it can stand by itself when folded. You'll want a sturdy and secure pushchair that can withstand the weight of your growing baby.

All-terrain models

The best pushchairs for newborns are those that can handle different terrains. This is particularly important if you like to stroll in the countryside or live in a rural area in which you're likely encounter uneven and bumpy surfaces. There are many models that were specially designed to handle this kind of terrain. It's important to check the chassis and see if it has a suspension system that will allow you to ride on rough terrain. If the tyres are air-filled it is essential to think about whether you'll need an air pump to fix a puncture or a puncture repair tool.

There are many pushchairs that are all-terrain, including those made by the top brands in baby equipment. Out n About Nipper V5 is a popular stroller which can be used with a car seat or carrycot right from birth. It's not recommended for sleep at night. Its air-filled tyres are perfect for off-roading and its suspension will aid in cushioning your baby's ride. It's also suitable for jogging when your child is old enough.

Another alternative is the iCandy Core, which can be used in a double or single mode, and comes with a huge basket that can accommodate up to 10kg of groceries. Its front wheels, which are larger than the ones on most single pushchairs make it easier to maneuver on a wider range of surfaces. It has a reclining chair that can be adjusted to a near flat position. It is also equipped with an infant car seat adaptor so it can be used as a travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair worth considering is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which is narrow enough for shopping aisles and buses, but has big, rugged tyres that can cope with rough surfaces. It comes with a large basket and can fold in one hand. It's not cheap pushchairs, so you'll need to weigh the pros and cons prior to making a purchase.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are many different types of pushchairs. When choosing one for a newborn consider the following points:

A new born baby needs to lay flat to aid in healthy spine development. This is best done in a carrycot or pram, but as they get older, you can transfer them to a pushchair and then a toddler seat. A 3-in-1 pushchair, also known as a pram travel system bundle - is ideal since it can grow with your child. It typically consists of the frame, which includes a carrycot/carrycot and the baby seat that attaches to the chassis.

You might also look for a reversible seat unit so that you can use it with your newborn facing you or turn it around so that they can see the world around them. This will keep them happy and relaxed. Some models have a canopy that is facing the parent, allowing you to keep an eye on your child and keep eye contact during the trip.

Another thing to take into consideration is the weight of your pushchair. Be sure that it's light. You don't need to lift it up and down from public transport or your vehicle frequently, so ensure it's lightweight. It is also important to make sure that the collapsible pushchair isn't too big and folds well, so it will fit in the trunk of your vehicle.

Check that the pushchair can fold and be easily transported in the event of traveling with your children. This is important, especially when you intend to use the pushchair overseas where customs officials may have to inspect it for security reasons.

Check if the pushchair is single or linked-handled, and whether it comes with an adjustable height. The linked handles are easier to push with just one hand, whereas single handles let you fold it more compactly. You may want to think about a height-adjustable steering wheel, too, which will be beneficial to any grandparents who might help you with it. The most important thing you do not want is to be slogging away for hours trying to disassemble and assemble your pushchair while carrying a newborn on board!

Storage space

A basket that is large enough is necessary to store baby's toys and changing kit. You should look for one that has a large storage space that you can access easily when using the carrycot. It is also essential to choose a model that you don't need to remove your child from the cot to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a light portable cot that has a handle of some kind that can be connected to the chassis of a pushchair to make it an effective travel system. They are commonly used by newborns and are an essential part of the "from birth" pushchair. They let your baby lay flat, which is better for their spine and lung development.

A sun canopy is a crucial accessory to a stroller since it protects your child from weather. Some models come with sunshades while others come with removable SPF/UPF 50+ canopy. Consider the use of a footstrap to keep your baby warm in colder winter months. Look for models that include one in the bundle or accessories range.
