Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is one of the most important baby items you'll require. There are a variety of options available however it is crucial to select the best one for your family and you.

Experts recommend that infants should be able to lie flat within the first few months. Choose an infant seat that is fully reclined seat that can be used at birth.

Safety

Your baby's safety is paramount when choosing a pushchair. A quality pushchair should include a seat that reclines to a flat position and a five-point harness that is padded with firm connections. Infants should always be carried in a carrycot and not in the main seat. If your baby's pushchair doesn't come with a carrycot, you may want to consider an alternative travel system that is an amalgamation of a car seat and a pram.

The frame of your pushchair needs to be sturdy and have a wide base to avoid it tipping 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 is a three wheeler then it must have an excellent suspension and the wheels must be made of rubber or PU for better shock absorption. Find brakes that are easy to operate and ensure they work before you secure your baby.

A good quality pushchair must have a raincover that can be fitted with a zip and has a padded lining, which will help keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Be sure to read all the instructions and demonstrate to anyone who will use the pushchair how to fold, open and secure it before they start using it. When the pushchair isn't in use, release all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and have a very weak strength which is why they must lie flat to feel comfortable and breathe. A pushchair without a lie flat device is not recommended to be used by infants or newborns. They can sleep in a seated position, which will prevent their airways opening completely and could lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

In addition to a lie-flat model, you should also look for other features that are suitable for babies, such as the ability to raise or lower the chassis from the footrest, and an ample seat with 3 adjustable height positions. You can even use it while you're feeding your baby or toddler. Consider purchasing a footmuff made of soft, comfortable materials that protects your child against the sun and keeps them warm. Most brands sell footmuffs on their own or as part of their bundles of accessories and pushchairs.

Newborns must be in a lie-flat position to help with their spinal and lung development, which is why it's vital that you buy a double pram and pushchair that is able to accommodate them in this position. This is the reason why many prams 'from birth' are equipped with carrycots that can be attached to the chassis to ensure that your newborn is always close to you.

Make sure to check the specifications to make sure. Some prams have the option of lying flat, but without carryingcot. They might be suitable for babies from to six months old. Alternatively, you can also purchase a travel system, which usually includes a car seat that is ready to go the moment your baby is born.

Weight

Therefore, you should consider the weight (with or without the carrycot) of a pushchair or pram. This is crucial for those who travel a lot or take public transport often.

Unlike older children, newborns have very little strength in their neck muscles so they need to be able to lie down flat in order to sleep. Expert advice suggests that infants and young babies should not be able to travel long distances in pushchairs which do not offer this option as they may experience breathing issues due to the position of their necks scrunched. This is one of the factors that can cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Many models come with the option to add a carrycot which is great for babies. Some brands offer a variety of pram and pushchair combos or 'travel system' which include both the carrycot and seat unit and adapters for your child's car seat.
