Choosing a pushchair newborn (reference)

Choosing a pushchair newborn is one of the most important choices you make for your baby. The best model will aid your baby's growth and be in good health.

Experts advise that young babies should be able to sleep flat to aid breathing and development. This is why a good pushchair has a lie-flat seat.

Seating with a lie-flat

For the first six months of their life, babies should lie flat in their pushchairs. This is beneficial for their back development and breathing. However it is not always the case that pushchairs lie flat so it's crucial to confirm this prior to buying. A good method to test a baby's pushchair is to ask the store assistant whether you can test it out and see if you can comfortably lay down with your child.

A newborn stroller with an infant carrycot or cocoon which creates a lie-flat seating is a fantastic option for young babies as it allows them to sleep in a fully reclined position, securing their spine and allowing them to breathe normally. Some prams include an infant carrier and some allow you to connect one separately to the frame. If your baby gets older, you can switch it with the seat.

Most experts agree that infants should be placed in a carrycot or pushchair with their parents facing them. This lets them see their parents directly and makes it easier for parents to observe their needs and supervise their infant. Many new parents aren't sure which direction to choose for their child or when they should let them be exposed to the world.

The reason why they are so popular is because they allow you to use your baby's carrycot, or cocoon on the frame of the pushchair, and then switch over to a reclining chair once your child is older. This saves you the hassle of having to buy separate items. Some models also come with the option of switching from a single pushchair to double as your baby grows, giving you flexibility and allowing you to save money by purchasing just one piece of equipment. It is important to check the weight of the travel system with or without the carrycot. It may be heavier than other pushchairs. This is especially important if you plan to take public transportation or travel often with your child. It is also important to determine the stability of the travel system and whether it is free-standing when folded. You'll want a sturdy and secure pushchair that can withstand the weight of your growing baby.

All-terrain models

The best pushchair for newborns is one that's built to tackle all kinds of terrain. This is particularly important if you reside in the countryside or love to go on country walks and are likely to encounter uneven surfaces and bumpy terrain. The good news is that there are now numerous models specifically designed with this type of terrain in mind. The most important thing is to determine how durable and robust the chassis is, and whether there's a suspension system in place to aid in the ride over rough terrain. If the tyres have air in them, it's important to consider whether you will need pumps to repair the puncture or use a puncture repair tool.

There are a number of pushchairs that are all-terrain as well as those manufactured by the big names in baby equipment. One of the most sought-after is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller, which has a great reputation and can be used starting at birth with a carrycot or a first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleep). The air-filled tires of this stroller are perfect for use off-road and its suspension will cushion your baby's journey. Once your child reaches the right age, the tyres are suitable for running.

Another option is the iCandy Core, which can be utilized in double or single mode and comes with a large basket that can accommodate up to 10kg of shopping. The front wheels are larger than those of most single pushchairs, which allows it to maneuver across a wider variety of surfaces. It also has a reclining seat that can be adjusted to a near flat position. It is also equipped with an infant car seat adapter, which could be used as an entire travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair worth considering is the Mamas And Papas Strada Lightweight Pram Black Diamond & Papas Ocarro, which is narrow enough for shops and buses but comes with big, tough tyres that are able to withstand rough surfaces. It also has a huge basket and can be folded effortlessly with just one hand. It's not cheap it's important to weigh up the pros and cons prior to making an investment.

Easy to manoeuvre

There are many different types of pushchairs. When choosing one for a child, take into consideration the following aspects:

A newborn baby needs to lie flat to encourage healthy spine development. This is usually done in a carrycot or pram, but once they're older you can switch to a pushchair and then an infant seat. It is best to opt for the 3 in 1 stroller, also known as a travel system pram or bundle. This allows your child to develop with it. It typically consists of the frame, which includes a carrycot/carrycot and a baby seat that attaches to the chassis.

You might also look into a reversible device so that you can either use it with the baby facing you, or turn it around and let them see the world. This will keep them happy and calm. Some models can even have a parent facing canopy that allows you to keep an eye on them and make eye contact throughout the trip.

Another thing to take into consideration is the weight of your pushchair. You don't want to have to take it off and on public transport, or in and out of your car frequently, so check that it is lightweight. Also, you should ensure that the pushchair isn't too big and folds well so that it can fit in the trunk of your car.

If you're planning to travel with your family, make sure that the pushchair is easy to maneuver and can be easily folded down for storage. This is particularly crucial if you plan to take it with you overseas where customs officials may have to inspect the pushchair for safety reasons.

You might also want to consider whether the pushchair comes with one or linked handles and what height it's adjustable to. Single handles are simpler to fold and can be folded more compactly with single handles. You might want to consider a steering wheel that can be adjusted in height as well, which can be useful for any grandparents who might help you with it. The last thing you want is to spend hours struggling to assemble and dismantle your pushchair, while carrying a heavy newborn on board!

Storage space

A large and sturdy basket is essential for keeping baby's changing kit and toys. It is important to choose an item that has a large storage area you can access quickly when using the carrycot. It is also important to find a model where you don't have to remove your baby from the cot to lift the lid.

A carrycot is a light portable crib with a handle that can be attached to a pushchair chassis to create an entire travel system. They are commonly used by newborns and are an essential part of the "from birth" pushchair. They allow your baby to lay on their backs, which is good for their spine and lung development.

A sun canopy is a crucial addition to a stroller as it protects your child from weather. Certain models come with sunshades built-in while others offer removable extendable SPF/UPF 50+ canopies. Consider a footmuff to keep your baby warm in colder weather. Look for models that have one in the bundle or accessories range.
