Buying a New Born Push Chair

A premium pushchair that's perfect for infants due to the premium fabric and ergonomic support. It's also simple to put together and effortlessly navigate the narrow aisles of a store.

Select a model with either a carrycot or a combination of a car seat and a carriercot, which is suitable for babies. Some have a reversible seat unit that allows you to have your baby either face either you or the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also called a buggy, pram or stroller pushchairs) is one of the most commonly used baby items, so safety should be the top priority when selecting one. Look for a five-point safety harness. The harness secures the child in the seat using five points that connect in an encapsulated locking system that is two across the shoulders and two between the hips as well as between the legs. This system will prevent the child from slipping out of the seat in the event that the vehicle is flipped over, or while driving up a steep kerb.

A carrycot or infant car seat/ pram and carrycot combo is a must for newborns because they require the capacity to lay flat, which helps protect their spine and opens their airways fully. This is important because it lowers the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Newborn babies shouldn't travel long distances in an infant pushchair that does not provide this feature, even if they can be pushed in a reclining seat unit.

It is also recommended that you purchase a pushchair suitable from the time of birth. The pushchair should be able to be used with a carrycot that can lie flat or an infant car seat/pram. It should also have an infant seat that is completely reversible to allow the baby to face either the parent or the world.

Lastly, the wheels of the pushchair need to be robust and have a good suspension to minimise vibrations and bumps as well as brake pedals that is easily accessible. Many pushchairs feature pneumatic tyres that absorb shocks better than conventional tyres. They also can run on uneven terrain.

Accessories like shopping baskets and pram changing bags or raincovers can be useful particularly when you are running errands while your baby is tucked in. Many pushchairs are fitted with an hood that can be pulled down over the baby's head, thereby shielding them from the sun and wind. Certain hoods can be adjusted to suit the weather.

Comfort

You'll want a cabin pushchair for your newborn that is comfortable for both the baby and the parent. This could mean padded seats that are easy to maneuver and strong enough for rough terrain. Think about features such as storage and protection from the weather. If you intend to use the stroller for jogging, or off-road adventures you'll need a stroller with larger wheels. This will allow your child the most comfort on even the most difficult terrain.

The ideal pushchair for a newborn will be a pram or travel system that comes with a carry cot, allowing your baby to sleep in their natural lie-flat position which is essential for good lung and spine development. Some pushchairs shop labelled "suitable for babies from birth" require that your child can sit up on their own. Be sure to verify this before you make an purchase.

A bassinet is a great option to create a cot-like space for your baby to relax while remaining secure and safe 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 expense.

Many pushchairs come with the option of facing the seat towards you, to bond and reassure, or away from you, to explore the world. They are often known as parents-facing or world-facing pushchairs. Some models will come with a single-to-double pushchair option which means they can be converted to accommodate two kids without the necessity of an additional double pushchair frame.

On hot days, you will want a pushchair parasol to help protect your child from the sun and to prevent overheating. The majority of manufacturers offer this in the pushchair bundle, or offer it as a separate item, so look out for this. It is possible to add a footmuff in colder temperatures. It will keep your baby warm. There's a broad selection of these and most are machine washable.

Style

When you are looking for a new pushchair, it is crucial to consider the finer details, especially since it is likely to be among your most frequently used baby products. For instance, certain models are designed for use on rough terrain and have large wheels and a heavier frame that is heavy duty. Others are more lightweight and easier to maneuver, particularly when folded. Some have adjustable seat padding, an expandable SPF canopy, and a footmuff for colder weather.

It is recommended to lay newborns flat, as this aids in the development of their spine and opens their airways. It is best to use a pram/pushchair with a carrycot or a travel system. Some pushchairs have an accompanying seat unit or carrycot which can fully recline. These are ideal for infants from birth. Check that this feature is available as some descriptions only provide an option to recline, but not mention an option for a seat that is lying flat.

The majority of pushchairs let you 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 to explore the world. Some models even have both choices at the same time!

Many pushchairs are equipped with a range of accessories, like baskets and shopping trays that help parents. Some also have an inbuilt sunshade, which is typically made from SPF or UPF 50+ fabric to shield the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include a sunshade that can be attached using a clamp to the frame of the pushchair, or a sunmuff, which is usually included in the bundle or sold as an add-on.

Budget

It's essential to research your options and stay within your budget. It's important to remember that the pram will stay there for a lengthy time and it's also the most used item, so you need to ensure you buy one that fits your needs and is comfortable for you and your child.

You may want to consider purchasing a travel system, which includes a carry-cot and seat. This is the safest method to transport a newborn, as it ensures they lie flat. This is the best way to ensure their spinal development and open their airways. Newborns should be transported in a lie-flat position until they reach six months old.

Some pushchairs are able to be used as early as birth, and also have a seat that reclines fully to an upright position. This is important because it protects a newborn's spine as it develops and allows them to rest comfortably on long journeys. It is important to note that not all pushchairs that claim they are 'lie-flat' actually offer a full flat position and you should confirm this prior to buying.

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 simple to access and you will be able to squeeze your shopping in without struggling or having to remove your baby from the carrier.

Wheels are also different between models. Some models have fixed, swivel or lockable wheels that help you manoeuvre the pushchair in different situations. Others have larger wheels that are more stable on rough terrain or have PU tyres that are specifically designed to resist puncture.

Consider the size of the handlebar and whether it is adjustable to your height. Also, you must ensure that the pushchair folds down small enough to fit into your boot, car or on public transport. Some models, such as the Joie Vinca have a one handed fold that was highly evaluated by MFM home testers. It was awarded a Gold Award at previous MadeForMums Awards.
