Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

The choice of a newborn pushchair is among the most important decisions you will make for your baby. The best model will allow your child to become comfortable and healthy.

However, not all pushchairs lie flat so it's important to check this before you buy. Ask the shop assistant to allow you to test a pushchair and see if your baby is comfortable in it.

Selecting a baby stroller with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a lie-flat seat is a great choice for young babies because it allows them to sleep in a fully reclined position, protecting their spine and helping them to breathe normally. Some prams have baby carriers or allow you to attach one separately to the frame. When your baby is older, you can exchange it out for the seat.

This eliminates the headache of purchasing separate items. Some models also come with the option of changing from a single to double pushchairs as your baby grows, giving you flexibility and making it possible to save money by purchasing just one piece of equipment. It is worth assessing the weight of a travel system (with and without the carrycot included) as you may find it heavier than other pushchairs. This is especially true when you're going to use public transport or travel frequently with your child. It is also important to check the stability of a travel system, and if it's self-standing when folded. You'll need a pushchair that is sturdy and able to handle the weight of a growing infant.

All-terrain models

The main thing to do is determine how durable and durable the chassis is, and if there's a suspension system to help with the ride over rough terrain. The tyres must also be considered. If they're air-filled, you'll have to carry a pump or at a minimum, an emergency repair kit for punctures with you.

There are a number of all-terrain pushchairs available as well as those manufactured by the big names in baby equipment. One of the most popular is the Out n About Nipper V5 stroller, which has a great reputation and can be used from birth with a carrycot or first-stage car seat (not suitable for overnight sleeping).

The front wheels are larger than most single pushchairs, which allows it to maneuver across a wider variety of surfaces. It also features a recline seat that can be adjusted to a flat position and comes with an infant car-seat adaptor kit, which allows it to be used as a travel system.

Another all-terrain pushchair worth considering is the Mamas & Papas Ocarro, which is narrow enough for buses and shop aisles but has big, rugged tires that can withstand rough surfaces. It has a large basket that can be folded with just one hand. It's not cheap so you'll have to weigh the pros and cons of purchasing it prior to making a purchase.

Easy to Manoeuvre

There are a myriad of types of pushchairs, but when choosing one for a newborn consider the following points:

To ensure that the spine develops properly For a healthy spine, babies should be laid flat. This is usually done in a pram or carrycot however, once they're older you can switch to a pushchair and then to a toddler seat.

Some models include sunshades that are built-in, and others have removable extendable SPF/UPF50+ sunshades. Consider using a footstrap to keep your baby warm in colder weather. Look for models that have one in the bundle or accessories range.
