Buying a New Born Push Chair

This premium pushchair is ideal for newborns, thanks to its luxury knit fabric and ergonomically designed support. It's also easy to assemble, and can easily navigate narrow store aisles.

Newborns should be able to lay flat, so look for a model that has either a car seat or a carrycot combination that is suitable for babies from birth. Some models have a reversible seating unit, allowing you to have your baby either face you or the world.

Safety

The pushchair, also referred to as a stroller or buggy is among the most used baby products. Safety is the top priority when selecting a foldable pushchair. Make sure you choose a five-point safety harness. This system locks the child in the seat by securing five points: two across shoulders, two around hips and between legs, and two in the middle. This system helps prevent the child from falling out of the seat in the event that it tips over or when driving down or up an incline.

A carrycot or infant car seat/ pram & carrycot combination is essential for infants because they require the capacity to lay flat, which helps protect their spine and opens their airways fully. This is essential because it decreases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Newborn babies should not travel for long distances using a pushchair that does not provide this feature, even if they can be pushed using a reclining seat unit.

It is also recommended to buy a pushchair suitable from the time of birth. This means that the pushchair can be used in conjunction with a lie-flat carrycot or infant car seat / pram and that it has a fully reversible and reversible seat to allow the baby to face either parent or world.

Lastly, the wheels of the pushchair easy fold must be sturdy and have good suspension to minimise bumps and vibrations as well as a brake pedal that is easy to reach. Many pushchairs feature pneumatic tyres, which absorb shocks better than standard tyres. They also can run on uneven terrain.

Other accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets, or changing bags for prams can be useful in everyday use, particularly when you are taking baby to errands in the stroller. A lot of pushchairs have the option of a hood that is put over the baby's head to shield them from the sun and wind. Certain hoods are adjustable to accommodate the conditions.

Comfort

You want a newborn pushchair that is comfortable for the baby and the parent. This can mean padded seats that are easy to manoeuvre and sturdy enough to withstand rough terrain. You should also look at other features, such as storage options and protection against weather. If you are going to use the pushchair for jogging, or off road adventures you will require an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels, designed to offer your child the best comfort on the roughest terrain.

The best pushchair for a newborn will be a pram or a travel system that has a carry cot, allowing your infant to rest in their natural lying down position, which is crucial for good lung and spine development. Some pushchairs buggies labeled "suitable from birth" require that your child sit up independently. Make sure you check this prior to making the purchase.

A bassinet is another option offering a small cot-like space for your newborn to rest in, while still being safe and secure in the pushchair. These seats are usually more expensive than a travel system. If your child is happy in this seat, it might be worth the price.

Many pushchairs offer the option to 'face' the seat towards you, for reassurance and bonding, or away from you to explore the world. They are often described as parent-facing and world-facing pushchairs. Some will have a single-to-double pushchair option as well that means they can be adapted to accommodate two children, without the requirement for an additional double pushchair frame.

You'll require a shade for your pushchair during hot weather to protect your child from the sun and avoid overheating. Many manufacturers include this as part of the pushchair bundle, or sell it separately, so look out for this. In colder temperatures you might want to add a footmuff, which will keep your baby warm and snug. There is a wide variety of them, with most being fully machine washable.

Style

It is essential to pay attention to the details when shopping for the latest baby pushchair since this is one of the most popular products. Some models are built for rough terrain and have larger wheels with a heavy-duty frame. Others are more lightweight and are easier to maneuver, particularly when folded. Some models also come with adjustable seat padding, extendable SPF canopies and a footmuff to keep warm in colder temperatures.

It is recommended that infants lie flat as this aids spinal development and opens up their airways. This is best achieved with an infant pram/pushchair, a carrycot or a travel system. Some pushchairs come with an accompanying seat unit or carrycot that reclines fully. These are suitable for infants from birth. Check that this feature is available as some descriptions only provide a reclining option without mentioning an option for a seat that is lying flat.

Most pushchairs allow you to choose between a parent-facing or a world facing seat unit. This lets you choose whether your baby faces you for reassurance or bonding or away from you in order to explore the world. Some pushchairs let you choose both simultaneously!

Many pushchairs near me come with a selection of accessories, like baskets and shopping trays that make it easier for parents. Some pushchairs come with an inbuilt sunshade that is constructed of UPF50 or SPF+ fabrics. This helps protect the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include a parasol which can be attached by a clamp to the frame of the pushchair or a sunmuff that is usually included in the bundle or sold as an add-on.

Budget

A new pram is likely to be among the most expensive items your baby will own so it's important you spend time researching and buying within your budget. Be aware that you will be using your pram for a long time and that it's the most used item. You need to pick one that suits your needs and is comfortable both for you and your child.

Consider purchasing a travel system which includes a carrycot and seat. This is the most secure method to transport a baby as it ensures they lie flat. This is the best method to protect their spinal development and open up their airways. Newborns should always be transported in a reclining position until they are six months old.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth and include an adjustable seat that can fully recline to a flat position. This is crucial as it helps protect a newborn's growing spine and allows them to rest comfortably during long trips. However, it's worth noting that not all pushchairs which claim they are 'lie-flat' actually provide a full flat position and you need to check this before making your purchase.

You should consider a crib that has an ample basket that can hold all the baby's necessities and other things. The basket should be easy to access and you will be able to get your shopping in without struggling or having to remove your baby from the carrycot.

Another consideration 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 can be more stable on rough terrain, or are fitted PU tires that are made to resist puncture.

Also, you should consider the size of the handlebar and if it's adjustable to suit your height. Also, you must make sure the pushchair folds down small enough to fit in your car's trunk or on public transport. Some models, such as the Joie Vinca come with one-handed folds that was highly evaluated by MFM home testers. It earned it an Gold Award at previous MadeForMums Awards.
