See What Pushchair Newborn Tricks The Celebs Are Using

Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is among the most essential baby items you'll require. There's a lot of choice out there but it's essential to select the best prams one for your family.

Experts recommend that infants should be able to lie flat within the first few months. Choose a model that has a fully reclined seat that can be used from birth.

Safety

When you are choosing a stroller the security of your child is the most important consideration. A reputable pushchair will feature a seat that can be reclined to a flat position, and a five-point harness secured with a cushion and strong connections. Infants should always be carried in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your 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 stroller should be stable and it should have a broad base so that it isn't able to tip over easily. It is also advisable to avoid overloading the back of your chair with shopping bags or toys because this could affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair has three wheels, it should have a sturdy suspension. The wheels must be made of rubber or PU in order to absorb shocks. Look for brakes which are easy to operate and check that they are working well before you fasten your child in.

A high-quality pushchair should have a raincover that can be zipped into place and which is lined with a protective lining which will help keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs come with an hood or sun canopy that can be extended to give more protection when required. Also, make sure whether your child's pushchair has a handlebar that is adjustable for parents so you can find the most comfortable position for pushing and driving.

Most pushchairs have an infant footmuff to keep your baby warm. It can be removed if the temperature becomes too hot. It is recommended to carry it with you when you go out and about in cold weather or when the sun begins to shine.

Check that the pushchair, buggy, or pram that you purchase meets British safety standards. If it's part of a travel system, check whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 or R129. Before you start using the pushchair, make sure that you've read all the instructions. You should also show anyone who might use it how to fold open, secure and close it. Also make sure to release any locking devices when the pushchair is not being used.

Comfort

Newborn babies are very small and have weak muscles in their necks, so they must lie flat for their comfort and to aid their breathing. A pushchair that doesn't have a seat that can lie flat is not suitable for infants or newborns as they can fall asleep in a position that is too high and could block their airways from opening fully, potentially leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

To ensure that your baby is always comfortable, choose a reclining pushchair with a lie-flat seat that can be used from birth. This type of pushchair is usually called a double pram pushchair, however it's also known as a buggy or stroller.

Find features that are suitable for infants for example, the ability to lower or raise the chassis from the footrest. You can also use the seat to feed your child. You should also think about purchasing a footmuff, which is made of soft and comfortable materials and shields your child from the sun while keeping them warm and snug. Most brands include a footmuff in their range of pushchairs and accessories or sell them separately.

Many parents opt to purchase multiple pushchairs and then upgrade them as their baby develops. If you're thinking of doing this, make sure to look out for a lightweight pushchair with excellent suspension and a large rear tyre to handle urban and rough terrain and a simple to fold design that can be folded with one hand.

Travel systems that combine the car seat, carrycot or pushchair chassis with an chassis and seat are a fantastic option for infants and toddlers. These are great for long journeys because babies can be carried safely and comfortably in the car seat or carrycot, and then transferred to a pushchair once they are ready.

Style

A newborn pushchair is among of the biggest purchases you'll make for your baby. It should be easy to use and comfortable. Look for features such as a comfortable seat padding and an adjustable handlebar so that you can choose a position that's right for you and your baby. You should also ensure that the seat is durable enough for everyday use and is able to withstand a few bumps on the road.

It is crucial to purchase a pram which can accommodate your baby in this position. This will help their spinal and lungs develop. This is the reason why many 'from birth' prams are equipped with the option of a carrycot attached to the chassis to ensure that your baby is always close to you.

Some prams offer an easy lie-flat position, but without carrying a carrycot. They may be suitable for babies that are less than six months old, but it's best to examine the specifications thoroughly to ensure. Alternately, you can buy a travel system which typically comes with a car seat that is ready to go from the day your baby is born.

The Graco Near2Me feature on the egg2 is specifically suited for newborns as it allows you bring your baby closer at the touch of a button. Jaya, a parent tester, says it's great for keeping contact and for bonding. It is also compatible with the seat unit, carrycot and car seat attachments making it a versatile option for travel with a baby.

You can choose from a variety of colours, styles, and prints that will suit the decor of your nursery or home decor. But, be careful not to select anything that is bright, as it could distract your newborn. You will likely use your pushchair for many years, so it's worth investing in a style that you enjoy.

If you're looking for a stylish lightweight, compact pushchair that folds up, then the YOYO2 by Babyzen is a great option. It has a smooth, curved shape with an elegant feel for your newborn and comes with a removable carrycot. This city stroller is a favourite of parents who want a small urban-friendly toddler stroller. It has some extra features, like a convenient cup holders.

Weight

Whether you're looking for a lightweight pushchair for newborns or a bigger model that can accommodate toddlers, there are plenty of choices. It's worth bearing in mind that a baby born today can be quite heavy so consider the weight of a pram or pushchair (with and without a carrycot attached) because this is an important consideration when you travel a lot or use public transport frequently or just want something easy to get into and out of your car's boot or up and down stairs.

In contrast to older children, newborns have very little strength in their neck muscles. Therefore, they need to be able to lie down flat in order to sleep. Expert advice suggests that young babies should not be able to travel long distances in pushchairs that don't offer this option as they could experience breathing problems because of the scrunched-up position. This is a risk that can contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Many models include the option to add a carrycot which is perfect for newborns. Some brands also provide a range of different combination of pushchair and pram, or 'travel systems' that include both the carrycot and seat unit and adapters for your car seat so you can combine them from the outset.

You can also opt for a twin pushchair that has two seats that sit side by side which is ideal for siblings or twins who will want to keep each other together. They are generally heavier than single pushchairs as they're designed to accommodate both seats and baby carriers.

A lightweight buggy or stroller is ideal if you're frequent users of public transport or you reside in an urban location where space is scarce. You should also check how compactly the pushchair can be folded and how easily it can be inserted into the doors of your house. You may also opt for a foldaway stroller or buggy with an organizer basket to store your shopping bags and changing kit.
