Buying a New Born Push Chair

This premium pushchair is ideal for babies due to its luxurious weaved fabric and ergonomic support. It's also simple to assemble and easily navigate narrow store aisles.

Newborns should ideally lie flat, so go for a model that has either a car seat or a carrycot combination suitable from birth. Some have a reversible unit so you can choose to have your baby face either you or the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also called buggy, pram or stroller) is among the most frequently used baby products and safety is the top priority when selecting one. The first thing to look for is a five-point harness. This harness locks the child into the seat by securing five points: two across shoulders two around the hips, two between legs, and two in the middle. This system stops the child from sliding out of the seat in the event that the vehicle is flipped over, or while driving up a steep kerb.

A carrycot or infant car seat pram and carrycot combination is a must for newborns since they need the ability to lie flat, which protects their spine and allows them to fully open their airways. This is crucial as it reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Babies born today should not be allowed to be able to travel for long distances in a pushchair without this feature even if it features the option of reclining seats.

It is also recommended to purchase a stroller that is suitable for babies from birth. The pushchair must be able to be used with a carrycot that can lay flat, or an infant car seat/pram. It should also include an infant seat that can be completely reversible, so that the baby can face either the parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller must be sturdy, have good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs come with pneumatic tyres which absorb shocks better than conventional tyres and are able to be used on terrains that are rough.

Additional accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets, or pram changing bags can be useful for everyday use, especially when you are running errands with your baby in the stroller. A lot of pushchairs have a hood that can be pulled down over the baby's head, thereby shielding them from the sun and wind. Some hoods can be adjusted, giving you the option to raise or lower them according to the conditions.

Comfort

You'll want a pushchair for your newborn that is comfortable for the child and the parent. This can include padded seats and a pushchair that is simple to move around and sturdy enough to stand up to rough terrain. Think about features such as storage and protection from the weather. If you intend to use the pushchair for jogging, or off-road excursions, you'll require an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels, designed to give your child the most comfort on the most uneven ground.

The most suitable pushchair for a newborn is a pram or travel system that has a carrycot. This will allow your baby to sleep in a lying position, which is important for lung and spine development. Some pushchairs that are labeled "suitable for babies from birth" require that your child sit up independently. Check this before making a purchase.

A bassinet is a different option, providing a small baby cot to rest in, while still being safe and secure in the pushchair. These are typically a bit more expensive than a traditional pushchair or even a travel system, but can be worth the extra cost in the event that your baby is happy to use this kind of seat.

Many pushchairs allow you to "face the seat" towards you for comfort or bonding. You can also turn away to explore the world. These are sometimes referred to by the terms facing the world or towards parents. Some models will come with a single-to-double pushchair option as well, meaning they can be adapted to accommodate two children without the necessity of a separate double frame for the pushchair.

You will need a shade for your folding pushchair during hot weather to protect your baby from sunlight and prevent overheating. Find it in pushchair bundles, or separately. In colder weather it is possible to include a footmuff that will keep your baby warm and snug. These are available in a variety of designs, and the majority are machine washable.

Style

When looking for a brand new push chair it is important to look at the finer details, especially as it will be among the most used baby items. Certain models are designed for rough terrain, and have larger wheels with a heavy-duty frame. Others are more lightweight and are easier to maneuver especially when folded. Some also feature adjustable seat padding, an expandable SPF canopy and a footmuff for colder weather.

It is recommended that infants lie flat, as this helps with the development of their spine as well as opening up their airways. It is best to use a pram/pushchair easy fold with a carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs come with a fully reclined seat unit or carrycot and are suitable from the time of birth. It is important to check whether this feature is present because some descriptions only refer to a reclining seat, without defining if it is a lie-flat option.

Most pushchairs offer the choice of facing your child's face or a world facing seat so that you can choose to have your baby either face you for reassurance and bonding or away from you so that they can explore the world around them. Some even have both choices at the same time!

Many pushchairs are equipped with accessories like shopping baskets and trays that help parents get their lives easier. Some have an integrated sunshade, which is typically made from SPF or UPF 50+ fabrics to help shield the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include parasols which can be clamped to the pushchair frame, or sunmuffs which are often included or sold separately.

Budget

A new pram is likely to be one of the most expensive items your baby will own so it's important you take your time researching and purchasing within your budget. It's important to consider that the pram will stay there for a lengthy time, and it's also the most frequently used item so you want to ensure you buy one that suits your lifestyle and is comfortable for you and your child.

Think about purchasing a travel set-up which includes a carrycot and seat. This is the safest method of transporting a newborn as it ensures that they are lying flat. This is the best way to protect their spinal development and open their airways. Newborns should always be transported in a lying position until they are six months old.

Some pushchairs are suitable for babies and come with the ability to fully recline to a lie-flat position. This is crucial because it protects a baby's spine as it develops and lets them sleep comfortably during long journeys. It's important to note that not all pushchairs labeled 'lie-flat" actually offer a fully flat position. You should check this before purchasing.

It is also worth looking at an option with a big shopping basket, which is essential to store all your baby's necessities and other things. The basket should be easy to access and you should not have to struggle to get your shopping done or take out your baby's stroller.

Another factor to consider is the wheels, which can vary from model to model. Certain models have wheels that can be locked, swivelled or fixed to aid in maneuvering the pushchair. Some have larger wheels, which can be more sturdy on rough terrain or are fitted PU tires that are made to resist puncture.

You should also think about the size of the handlebar and if it can be adjusted to your height. Also, you must make sure the pushchair folds enough to fit into your boot, car or onto public transport. Some models, such as the Joie Vinca come with a one handed fold that was highly evaluated by MFM home testers. It was awarded an Gold Award at previous MadeForMums Awards.
