Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair for newborns is among the most important baby items you'll require. There are a lot of options to choose from, but it is important to select the best one for your family and you.

Experts suggest that infants be able to lie on their backs in the first few months. Look for models that have a fully reclined seat that can also be used at birth.

Safety

When choosing a stroller, the safety of your child is the most important consideration. A reputable pushchair should include a seat that can recline to lie flat and have a five point harness which is padded and has strong connections. Newborns should always be transported in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your pushchair doesn't have a carrycot, you might want to consider an alternative travel system that is a combination of a car seat and a pram.

The frame of your pushchair needs to be stable and have a wide base to ensure that it doesn't tip over easily. Be careful not to overload your pushchair's back with shopping bags or toys as this can affect its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels, it must have a solid suspension. The wheels should be made of rubber or PU in order to absorb shocks. Make sure you choose brakes that are easy to operate and ensure they function before you secure your child.

A good quality pushchair must have a raincover which is secured with a zipper and has a padded lining, this will help to keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have a sun canopy, also known as a hood, that can be extended for more coverage. Also, make sure whether your child's pushchair comes with an adjustable handlebar for parents, so you can get the most comfortable position to push and drive.

You might consider purchasing a footmuff which is available in a variety of pushchair brands, this keeps your baby warm and is easily removed when it becomes too hot. It is a good idea to take this with you when going out in cold weather or when the sun begins to shine strong.

Make sure that the pushchair, buggy, or pram you purchase meets British safety standards. If it's part of a travel system, check that it also meets European safety standards ECER44/04 or R129. Be sure to read the entire instruction and show anyone who might use the pushchair how to open, fold and secure it before they begin using it. When the pushchair isn't in use, release all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

The newborn babies are small and have weak muscles in their necks, which is why they must lie flat for their comfort and to help their breathing. A pushchair that doesn't have a seat that can lie flat isn't suitable for infants or newborns, because they could fall asleep in a position that is too high and could block their airways from opening fully, leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Pick a stroller that is reclining with seating that can be used flat from birth. This type of pushchair is often referred to as a pram, however it is also referred to as a stroller or buggy.

In addition to a lie-flat unit, be sure to look for other features that are appropriate for newborns, like the ability to raise and lower the chassis from the footrest, and a spacious seat with 3 adjustable height positions - you can even use it while feeding your baby or toddler. Consider buying a footmuff made of soft, comfortable material which shields your child from the sun and keeps them warm. Many brands sell them on their own or as part of their bundles of pushchairs and accessories.

Newborns should be in a lie-flat position to help with their lung and spinal development, so it's essential that you buy a pram that can accommodate them in this flat position. This is the reason why many prams that are 'from birth' are designed with the option of a carrycot connected to the chassis, ensuring that your baby is always close to you.

Some prams offer a lie-flat position without carrying a carrycot. They may be suitable for infants as young as six months but you should examine the specifications thoroughly to be certain.
