This premium pushchair is ideal for infants due to its luxury woven fabric and ergonomic support. It's also simple to put together and can easily manage narrow shop aisles.

Choose a model that has either a carrycot or a combination of a car seat and a carriercot, which is ideal for newborns. Some have a reversible seat unit that allows you to have your baby either face you or the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also referred to as buggy, pram, or stroller pushchairs) is one of the most used baby products and New Born Push Chair safety is the top priority when selecting one. The first thing you should look for is a five-point harness. This system secures the child in the seat using five points: two across shoulders, two around hips and between legs and two in the middle. This system stops the child from sliding out of the seat in the event that the vehicle tips over, or when driving up a kerb that is steep.

A carrycot or infant car seat / pram & carrycot combination is essential for infants because they require the capacity to lay flat, which helps protect their spinal development and lets their airways breathe fully. This is important because it decreases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Babies born today should not travel for long distances using a pushchair that does not come with this feature, even if they can be pushed in a reclined seat unit.

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

Finally, the wheels of the pushchair must be strong and have an excellent suspension that reduces bumps and vibrations as well having a brake pedal that is easily accessible. A lot of pushchairs have pneumatic tyres that can absorb shocks more effectively than standard tyres and can run on uneven terrain.

Additional accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets or changing bags for prams are useful in everyday use, particularly when you are running errands with baby in tow. Many pushchairs come with the option of a hood that can be placed over the face of the baby to protect it from sun or the wind. Some hoods can be adjusted to accommodate the conditions.

Comfort

When it comes down to newborn pushchairs you want one that is comfortable for the baby and parent. This can mean padded seats, easy to maneuver and strong enough to withstand the rough terrain. Think about features such as storage and protection from the weather. If you plan to use the pushchair for jogging, or off-road excursions, you'll need an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels, designed to offer your little one optimum comfort on the roughest ground.

The best pushchair to use for a newborn is a pram or travel system that comes with a carrycot. This allows your baby to sleep in a lying flat position, which is important for developing the spine and lungs. Some pushchairs that are labeled "suitable for babies from birth" require that your child can sit up independently. Check this before making the purchase.

A bassinet is an alternative that provides a compact baby cot to rest in, while remaining safe and secure in the pushchair. They are generally more expensive than a pushchair or travel system. But, if your child is happy in this seat, it may be worth the expense.

A lot of pushchairs let you 'face the seat' towards you for comfort or bonding. Or, you can turn your back to explore the world. They are often called parent-facing or world-facing pushchairs. Some will have a single-to double pushchair option, too which means they can be converted to accommodate two children without the necessity of an additional double frame for the pushchair.

In hot weather you'll need a pushchair parasol to help protect your child from the sun and to prevent overheating. The majority of manufacturers offer this in a pushchair bundle or offer it as a separate item and you should look for this. You may want to add a footmuff in colder temperatures. It will keep your baby warm. You can find a wide variety of them and most are machine washable.

Style

When shopping for a new push chair it is crucial to consider the finer points, particularly since it is likely to be among your most used baby items. Some models are made for rough terrain, and have bigger wheels and a sturdy frame. Some models are lighter and easier to maneuver when folded. Certain models also have adjustable seat padding, extendable SPF canopy and a footmuff to keep warm in colder temperatures.

It is recommended that babies lie flat, as this helps with the development of their spine as well as opening up their airways. It is recommended to use a pushchair or pram with the carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs feature a reclined seat or carrycot that are suitable for babies from birth. It is crucial to ensure that this feature is included as some descriptions simply mention a reclining chair without clarifying this is a lie-flat option.

Most pushchairs provide the option of either a parent or world facing seat unit to allow you to have your child face you for reassurance and bonding or away from you so they can explore the world around them. Some models even have both options simultaneously!

Many pushchairs come with a variety of accessories, including baskets and shopping trays to simplify the lives of parents. Some pushchairs include an inbuilt sunshade made of UPF50 or SPF+ fabrics. This can help protect your baby from sun. Other popular accessories include a sunshade that can be attached with a clamp to the frame of the pushchair or a sunmuff that is usually included in the package or sold as an additional.

Budget

A new pram is likely to be one of the most expensive items for your baby so you must take your time researching and purchasing within your budget. Remember that you will use your pushchair for a long time and that it is the most frequently used item. You want to choose one that is compatible with your lifestyle and is comfortable both for you and your child.

Consider purchasing a travel system that includes a carrycot and seat. This is the safest way to transport a newborn, since it guarantees that they lie flat. This is great for protecting their spinal development and opening up their airways. Newborns should be transported in a lying position until they reach six months old.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, and come with a seat that reclines fully to a flat position. This is essential since it protects the newborn's spine as it grows and allows them to sleep comfortably on long trips. It's important to remember that not all pushchairs that state they are 'lie-flat' actually offer the flat position in full and you should confirm this prior to buying.

Look for a model with a large basket for all the baby's essentials and other things. The basket should be simple to access and you will be able to squeeze your shopping in without difficulty or having to take your child from the carrycot.

Wheels can also vary between models. Some models have fixed, swivel or lockable wheels that can aid in maneuvering the pushchair in different situations. Some have larger wheels which can be more sturdy on rough terrain or are fitted with PU tires that are made to be puncture-proof.

Be aware of the dimensions of the handlebar and whether it is adjustable to your height. Also, you must ensure that the pushchair folds small folding pushchair enough to fit into your car's trunk or on public transport. Certain models, like the Joie Vinca have a single-handed fold that was highly evaluated by MFM home testers. It earned it an Gold Award at previous MadeForMums Awards.
