See What Pushchair Newborn Tricks The Celebs Are Using

Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is one of the most essential baby items you'll need. There are many options available but it's important to select the best travel pushchair one for you and your family.

Experts advise that babies be laid flat for the first few months, so search for a model with a fully reclining seat that can be used as early as birth.

Safety

When selecting a stroller, the safety of your child's is paramount. A good pushchair must include a seat that can recline to a flat position and come with a five-point harness that is cushioned and has firm connections. Carrycots are a great option for babies. They should not be used in the main seat. If your pushchair does not come with a carrycot, then you may want to consider a travel system which is a car seat and pram all in one.

The frame of your parent facing pushchair should be stable and have a wide base to ensure that it doesn't tip over easily. Be careful not to overload 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 good suspension, and the wheels should be made of rubber or PU to provide greater shock absorption. Look for brakes that are simple to operate and make sure whether they're functioning properly before you put your baby in.

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 feature sun canopy or hood that can be extended to provide more coverage if needed. Make sure that the handlebars of your pushchair are adjustable for parents to find the most comfortable position when driving and pushing.

Most pushchairs come with a footmuff that helps keep your baby warm. It can be removed if it gets too hot. It is a great thing to have with you when you're out and about, particularly in colder weather.

Make sure that the pushchair, buggy, or pram that you purchase is in compliance with British safety standards. If it's part an entire travel system, make sure whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 or R129. Be sure to read the entire instruction and show anyone who may use the pushchair how to open, fold and secure it prior to when they start using it. When the pushchair's not being used, remove all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and a weak body which is why they must lie flat in order to be comfortable and breathe. A pushchair without a lie flat model is not suited to be used by infants or newborns. They can fall asleep in a seated position, which will prevent their airways opening fully and could result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

To ensure that your baby is always comfortable, choose a reclining pushchair with a lie-flat seat that can be used from birth. This kind of pushchair is often referred to as a pram, however it is also referred to as a stroller or buggy.

In addition to a lie-flat unit, look out for other newborn-friendly features like the ability to raise and lower the chassis from the footrest as well as a spacious seat with 3 adjustable height settings - you can even use it while feeding your toddler or baby. Consider purchasing a footmuff made of soft, comfortable materials that protects your child against the sun and keeps them warm. A majority of brands include a padded footmuff in their range of pushchairs and accessories or sell them separately.

Many parents decide to purchase multiple pushchairs, and then upgrade them as their baby grows. If you're planning on doing this, be sure to select a light pushchair with excellent suspension and a large rear tyre that can handle urban and rough terrain and a simple fold design that can be folded with one hand.

Travel systems that combine a car seat, carrycot or pushchair chassis with a seat unit and chassis are another great option for babies and newborns. They are great for long-distance travel, as infants can be carried in a safe car seat or carrycot and later transferred to the pushchair once they are ready to sit up.

Style

A pushchair for newborns is among the most important baby purchases you'll make, so it should be comfortable and user-friendly. Look for features like an upholstered seat that is comfortable and a handlebar that can be adjusted so you can find a position that's right for you and your baby. It is also important to make sure that the product is durable enough for daily use and will withstand some bumps on the road.

It is crucial to choose a pram that is able to accommodate your newborn in this position. This will aid in the development of their spine and lungs. Many "from birth" prams have a carrycot that can be connected to their chassis. This allows your baby to always be close to you.

Some prams provide an easy lie-flat position, but without a carrycot and may be suitable for infants up to around six months however, it is best to verify the specifications to be certain. Alternately, you can purchase a travel system which usually includes a car seat and is ready to go as soon as your baby is born.

The Near2Me feature of Graco on the egg2 is specifically suited for newborns as it allows you to bring your baby closer with the touch a button. Jaya one of the parents who tested it, says it's great for keeping contact and for bonding. It can also be used with the seat unit, carrycot and car seat attachments, which makes it a flexible option for travelling with a baby.

You can pick from a range of colors and styles that will match your nursery decor or home decor. But, be careful not to select anything too bright as it could be distracting to your baby. You'll likely use your pushchair for several years so it's worthwhile to invest in a model that you'll still love several years down the line.

If you're looking for a chic pushchair that is also lightweight and compact when folded, look at the YOYO2 by Babyzen. It has a smooth, curved shape with an extravagant feel for your newborn and comes with a movable carrycot. This stroller is a favorite for parents looking for a compact, city-friendly stroller and it has some additional features like a handy cup holders.

Weight

There are plenty of options to choose from regardless of whether you're looking for an infant pushchair or one that can accommodate your toddler. You should consider that a newborn baby can be a heavy baby. Therefore, you must look at the weight (with or without the carrycot) of the pram or pushchair. This is important when you travel frequently or take public transport often.

Young children, unlike older ones have a very weak neck muscle strength. They should be able to lay flat while they sleep. Expert advice suggests that newborn infants should not travel long distances in pushchairs which do not provide this option because they could experience breathing problems because of the scrunched-up position. This is one of the risk factors that contributes to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

A pram or pushchair is suitable from birth and many models offer the option of adding the carrycot, which is perfect for babies, particularly if they are very small. Certain brands offer a range of pram and pushchair combos or 'travel system' which include both the carrycot and seat unit as well as adapters for car seats for your child.

A twin pushchair with two seats on either side is ideal for twins or siblings that want to be in the same room. They tend to weigh more than single pushchairs because they are designed to accommodate a seat unit and baby carriers.

A stroller or a buggy that is lightweight is ideal if you're an avid user of public transport or you live in an urban area where space is scarce. It's also a good idea to see the size of the pushchair when folded away and if it can fit through your home doorways. You might even choose a foldaway stroller or buggy with a storage basket for your shopping bags and changing kits.
