Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A baby pushchair is one of the most important baby items that you will require. There's a wide selection out there, but it's important to choose the best one for your family.

Experts suggest that babies be laid flat for the first few months, so search for a model with a fully reclined seat that can be used from the time of birth.

Safety

Your baby's safety is a top consideration when selecting the right pushchair. A good pushchair must include a seat that can recline to a flat position and a five-point harness that is cushioned and has strong connections. Carrycots are a great option for babies. They should never be placed in the main seat. If your pushchair does not come with a carrycot, you should think about an alternative travel system that is a car seat and pram in one.

The frame of your stroller needs to be sturdy and have a wide base to ensure that it isn't able to tip over easily. Be careful not to overload your pushchair's back with bags of shopping or toys since this can impact its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels, it should have a solid suspension. The wheels should also be made from rubber or PU to absorb shocks. Find brakes that are simple to operate and make sure that they're working properly before you strap your baby in.

A good quality pushchair must have a raincover that can be zipped into place and which has a protective lining, this will help to keep your baby dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs feature a sun canopy or hood that can be extended to provide more protection when required.

If it is part a travel system, ensure whether it is also compliant with European safety standards ECER44/04 or R129. Before you begin using the pushchair pram, ensure that you've read all the instructions. It is important to teach anyone who may use it to fold open, close and secure it. When the pushchair isn't in use, unlock all locking mechanisms.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a very small neck and little strength which is why they must lie flat in order to be comfortable and to breathe.

You can even use it while feeding your baby or toddler. Consider purchasing a footmuff made of soft, comfortable material that protects your child against the sun and keeps them warm. Many brands sell them separately or in their bundles of accessories and pushchairs.

This is a risk that can cause Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
