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 pushchair must be sturdy and have an excellent suspension that reduces bumps and vibrations aswell having a brake pedal that can easily be reached. Many pushchairs are fitted with pneumatic tyres which absorb shocks better than tyres that are standard and can run on rough terrain.

Accessories like shopping baskets and pram changing bags or raincovers are useful particularly when you are running errands while your baby is in the car. Many pushchairs have a hood which can be placed over the face of the baby to shield it from the sun or wind. Some hoods can be adjusted and allow you to lower or raise them based on the weather.

Comfort

This could include padded seats and a pushchair which is simple to move around yet sturdy enough to stand up to rough terrain. It is also important to look at other features, such as storage and protection from the weather. If you intend to use the pushchair for jogging pushchair or off-road excursions, you'll require an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels that are designed to provide your child the most comfort on the most uneven ground.

The best baby pushchair will be a pram or a travel system that comes with a carry cot, allowing your baby to sleep in their normal lying flat position, which is vital for the development of a healthy spine and lung.

A bassinet is a great option to create a cot-like environment for your baby to relax while being secure and safe within the pushchair. These seats are typically more expensive than a travel system. But, if your child is comfortable in the seat, it may be worth the price.

Many pushchairs offer the option of facing the seat towards you for bonding and comfort, or away from you, to explore the world. They are commonly referred to as parent-facing and world-facing pushchairs. Some will have a single-to double pushchair option which means they can be converted to accommodate two children, without the need for a separate double pushchair frame.

Style

When you are looking for a new pushchair newborn, it's important to look at the finer details, particularly as it will be one of your most used baby items.

Some come with adjustable seat cushions, an extensible SPF canopy, and a footmuff for colder weather.

It is recommended that infants lie flat as this aids spinal development and opens up their airways. This is best achieved with a pram/pushchair and carrycot or a travel system. Some pushchairs have a carrycot or seat unit that can recline completely. These are suitable for infants from birth. It is essential to confirm whether this feature is available as some descriptions simply mention a reclining chair without defining if it is a lie-flat option.

The majority of pushchairs allow the option of either a parent or world facing seat, so that you can choose to have your baby either face you for bonding and reassurance or away from you so that they can discover the world around them. Some pushchairs offer both options simultaneously!

This can help protect the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include a sunshade which can be attached by 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 your baby's most expensive items so you must spend time researching and buying within your budget. Remember that you will use your pram for many years and that it is the most frequently used item. You should pick one that is compatible with your lifestyle and is comfortable both for you and your child.

You may want to think about purchasing a travel system, which includes a carry-cot and seat. This is the most safest method of transporting your baby because it guarantees that they are lying flat. This is the most effective way to protect their spine and open up their airways. Newborns should be carried in a lying position until they are six months old.

Some pushchairs can be used as early as birth, and come with a seat that reclines fully to a flat position. This is important because it protects a newborn's developing spine and allows them to rest comfortably on long journeys. It's important to know that not all pushchairs marked "lie-flat" actually have a fully flat position. It is important to verify this prior to purchasing.

It is also worth thinking about the option of a model that has a large shopping basket, which will be crucial for storing all of your baby's necessities and other belongings. The basket should be simple to access and you will be able to squeeze your shopping without a hassle or having to remove your baby from the carrier.

Wheels also differ between models. Some models come with wheels that can be locked, swivelled, or fixed to aid in maneuvering the pushchair. Some have larger wheels that can be more stable over rough terrain or are fitted with PU tyres designed to resist puncture.

You should also think about the size of the handlebar and if it's adjustable to suit your height. Additionally, you should ensure that the pushchair folds enough to fit into your boot, car or on public transport. Certain models, such as the Joie Vinca comes with a one-handed fold that was highly rated by our MFM home testers and has earned it a Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
