Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair for infants is one of the most essential baby items that you will require. There are a lot of options to choose from, but it is important to choose the right one for you and your family.

Experts recommend that babies should lie flat for the first few months, so look for a model with an adjustable seat that can be used from birth.

Safety

A good pushchair should include a seat that can recline to a lie-flat position and have a five point harness which is padded and has sturdy connections. Newborns should always be transported in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your cheap stroller does not come with a carrycot, you may want to consider a travel system that is a car seat and pram all in one.

The frame of your stroller should be stable, and it should have a broad base so that it isn't able to slide over easily. Avoid overloading your pushchair's back with toys or shopping bags because this could affect its stability. If your pushchair is a three-wheeler then it should have an excellent suspension, and stroller the wheels should be composed of PU or rubber for better shock absorption. Look for brakes that are easy to operate and ensure they work before securing your baby.

A high-quality pushchair will come with a rain cover that is secured with a zip and an insulated lining. This will keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs have sun canopy or hood that can be extended to provide more coverage when needed.

Be sure to gone through all the directions and demonstrate to anyone who will use the pushchair how to fold, open and secure it prior to when they begin using it. Also make sure to release any locking devices when the pushchair isn't being used.

Comfort

The newborn babies are small and have little strength in their necks, so they need to lay flat for their comfort and to aid their breathing. A pushchair without a lie flat model is not suited for use by newborns or infants. They may fall asleep in an upright position, which will prevent their airways opening fully and could lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Choose a reclining stroller with seats that can be used flat from the time of birth. This type of pushchair can also be called a buggy, twin stroller or pram.

In addition to a lying-flat seat unit, be sure to look for other newborn-friendly features like the ability to raise and lower the chassis from the footrest and a large seat with three adjustable height settings - you can even use it while feeding your toddler or baby. Consider buying a footmuff made of soft, comfortable fabric which shields your child from the sun and keeps them warm. Most manufacturers include a footmuff with their range of pushchairs and accessories or sell them on their own.
