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 require. There's a lot of choice available but it's essential to select the best one for your family.

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

Safety

The safety of your baby is a top consideration when selecting a pushchair stroller. A good pushchair must have a seat that reclines to lie flat and a five-point harness that is cushioned and has firm connections. Carrycots are the best option for babies. They should not be put in the seat that is used for primary use. If your stroller does not have a carrycot then you should consider an alternative travel system that is a car seat and pram all in one.

The frame of your pushchair needs to be sturdy and have a wide base to ensure that it doesn't tip over easily. It is important to avoid overloading the back of your triple pushchair with shopping bags or toys because this could affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair has three wheels then it should have good suspension and the wheels should be made of rubber or PU for greater shock absorption. Find brakes that are easy to use and make sure they function before you secure your baby.

A good quality pushchair should have a raincover that can be zipped into place and which has a padded lining, this will help keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs come with a sun canopy, or the hood, which can be extended for more coverage. You should also check whether your child's pushchair has an adjustable handlebar for parents so you can get the most comfortable position to push and drive.

You might consider purchasing a footmuff which is available in most pushchair brands. It keeps your baby warm and can be removed when it gets too hot. This is a great item to have with you when you are out and about, particularly in cold weather.

It is important to check that any pram store near me, pushchair or buggy you purchase conforms to British safety standards and, if part of a travel system, also European safety standards ECE R44/04 or R129 i-Size. Before you use the pushchair, make sure that you've read the instructions. It is also important to show anyone who will use it how to fold open, close and secure it. Also make sure to release all locking devices when the pushchair isn't being used.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and little strength which is why they must lie flat to feel comfortable and to breathe. A pushchair that doesn't have a lie-flat seat unit isn't appropriate for newborns or infants, because they could fall asleep in a position that is too upright and will prevent their airways from opening fully, leading to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Pick a stroller that is reclining with seats that can be used flat from birth. This type of pushchair can be referred to as buggy, stroller, or pram newborn.

In addition to a lie-flat seat unit, be sure to look for other newborn-friendly features like the ability to raise or lower the chassis from the footrest, and a large seat with three adjustable height positions - you can even use it while feeding your baby or toddler. You should also consider purchasing a footmuff, which is made from soft and comfortable materials and protects your child from sun while keeping them warm and snug. Most brands sell footmuffs on their own or as part of their bundles of pushchairs and accessories.

Many parents purchase multiple pushchairs that they can upgrade as their baby develops. If you plan to do this, be sure to choose a lightweight pushchair with a sturdy suspension, a huge rear tire that can handle urban or rough terrain, as well as a one-handed folding design.

Travel systems that combine a car seat, carrycot or pushchair chassis with an chassis and seat are another great option for newborns and babies. They are great for long journeys, as young babies can be transported in a safe manner in their car seat or carrycot and later transferred to the pushchair once they're ready to sit.

Style

A pushchair for newborns is among the most important baby purchases you'll ever make, so it should be comfortable and simple to use. Look for features such as the comfort of a cushioned seat and a movable handlebar to find the ideal position for your child and you. You'll also want to make sure that the product is sturdy enough for daily use and can withstand some bumps on the road.

Newborns should be in a lie-flat position to assist with their spinal and lung development, which is why it's vital that you buy a pram that is able to accommodate them in this flat position. Many 'from birth" prams have a carrycot that can be connected to their chassis. This lets your baby be close to you.

Some prams have the option of a lie-flat, without carrycots and could be suitable for babies as young as six months but you should examine the specifications thoroughly to be certain. Alternately, you can purchase a travel system that usually comes with a car seat that is ready to go the moment your baby is born.

The Near2Me feature of Graco on the egg2 is particularly suitable for babies as it allows you to bring your baby closer at the touch a button. Jaya, a parent tester, says it's great for keeping contact and to bond. It also works with the carrycot, seat unit and car seat attachments which makes it a flexible option for travelling with a baby.

You can pick from a variety of colours, styles, and prints that will suit the decor of your nursery or home decor. Be careful not to choose anything too bright as it could distract your newborn. You'll likely be using your pushchair for a long time so it's worth investing in a design that you'll still love several years down the line.

If you're looking for a stylish pushchair that is also lightweight and compact stroller when folded, have a look at the YOYO2 model from Babyzen. It features a sleek curvaceous shape that offers an elegant feel for your infant and comes with a removable carrycot. This city stroller is a favourite of parents who want a small urban-friendly stroller. It also comes with a few additional features like a useful cup holder.

Weight

There are a variety of options available, whether you're looking for an infant pushchair or one that can be used by your toddler. It is important to consider that a newborn baby can be heavy. Therefore, you must consider the weight (with or without a carrycot) of the pram or pushchair. This is important for those who travel a lot or take public transport often.

The newborns, unlike the older children have a sluggish neck muscle strength. They should be able lie flat when they sleep. Experts advise that babies should not be taken on long journeys using pushchairs that do not offer this option, since they may develop breathing issues when they are in a scrunched-up position. This is a factor that could contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Many models come with the option to add a carrycot which is ideal for infants. Some brands also provide various combination of pushchair and pram, or 'travel systems' that include both the carrycot as well as a seat unit, as well as adapters for your car seat so you can combine them from the beginning.

A twin pushchair with two seats on either side is ideal for twins or siblings who wish to be in the same room. They weigh more than single pushchairs because they have to accommodate a seat unit as well as baby carriers.

A lightweight buggy or stroller is ideal if you're a regular traveller on public transport or you live in an urban area where space is at a premium. You should also consider how compactly the stroller or buggy can be folded, and whether it can fit through the doors of your house. You could also opt for the stroller or buggy that folds away with storage baskets so you can keep shopping bags and your changing kit inside.
