Buying a new born push chair (Our Web Site)
This premium pushchair is ideal for babies due to its luxurious weaved fabric and ergonomic support. It is also easy to assemble and easily navigate narrow store aisles.
Newborns should ideally lie flat, so go for a model with either a carrycot or car seat/carrycot combination suitable from birth. Some models come with an reversible design, which means you can choose whether your baby faces you or the rest of the world.
Safety
The pushchair, also referred to as a buggy or stroller is among the most commonly used baby products. Safety is the primary consideration when selecting the right pushchair. Choose the five-point safety harness. This system secures the child in the seat using five points that connect in a central locking system - two across the shoulders, and two between the hips as well as between the legs. This system helps to prevent the child from falling out of the seat when it falls over or is driving up or down an incline.
For infants carrying a carrycot or infant car seats, prams and carrycots are vital. They need to be able to lay flat. This helps protect their spine and allows them to breathe fully. This is essential as it reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Newborn babies should not be pushed for long distances in the pushchair that doesn't have this facility, even if they can be pushed using a reclining seat unit.
It is also recommended to purchase a stroller that is suitable for babies from the time of birth. This means that the pushchair can be used with a carrycot that is flat on the floor or an pram for infants and also has a fully reversible seat unit to allow the baby to look at either their parent or the world.
The wheels of the stroller need to be sturdy with a good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs feature pneumatic tyres which absorb shocks better than conventional tyres. They can also run on rough terrain.
Additional accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets, or pram changing bags can be useful for everyday use, especially when taking baby to errands in tow. Many pushchairs are fitted with an hood that can be put over the baby's head to protect them from sun and the wind. Some hoods are adjustable with the ability to raise or lower them according to the weather.
Comfort
When it comes to infant pushchairs, you want one that is comfortable for the baby as well as the parent. This can mean padded seats, easy to maneuver and strong enough for rough terrain. It is also important to look at other features, such as storage and protection from the weather. If you plan to use the stroller for jogging, or off-road adventures, you will need a pushchair that has larger wheels. This will provide your child the most comfort on the most uneven terrain.
The most suitable pushchair for infants is one that is a travel system or pram that comes with a carrycot. This allows your baby to sleep in a natural lying-flat position, which is essential for developing the spine and lungs. Some pushchairs marketed as suitable for babies will actually require your child to stand independently before they are able to be used, so always check this before purchasing.
A bassinet can be utilized to create a cot-like space where your child can unwind while remaining safe and secure in the pushchair. These are typically a bit more expensive than a standard pushchair, or even a travel system, but they can be worth the extra cost when your baby is content to use this kind of seat.
Many pushchairs allow you to "face the seat" towards you to provide reassurance or bonding. You can also turn away to explore the world. They are often called parents-facing or world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs come with the option of converting from single to double. This means they can be converted to a double pushchair, without a separate frame.
You'll need a shade for your pushchair on hot days to protect your baby from the sun and avoid overheating. Many manufacturers include this as part of the pushchair bundle, or offer it as a separate item and you should look for this. It is possible to purchase a footmuff for colder weather. It will keep your baby warm. They come in various styles, and can be washed in the washing machine.
Style
It is important to pay attention to the particulars when choosing a new baby pushchair since this is one of the most used products. For example, some models are designed for use on rough terrain and have bigger wheels and a heavy duty frame. Some models are lighter and easier to maneuver when folded. Some have adjustable seat padding, an extendable SPF canopy, and a footmuff for colder weather.
It is recommended that babies lay flat to aid in spinal development and opens up their airways. It is best to use a pram/pushchair that has a carrycot or a travel system. Some pushchairs feature a reclined seat or carrycot, and are suitable for babies from birth. It is important to check whether this feature is present since some descriptions simply mention a reclining chair without clarifying this is a lie-flat option.
Most pushchairs allow you to choose between a parent-facing or a world-facing unit. This allows you to select whether your child is facing you for bonding or reassurance, or away from you in order to explore the world. Some pushchairs allow both simultaneously!
Many pushchairs are equipped with accessories like shopping baskets and trays to help parents get their lives easier. Some pushchairs include an inbuilt sunshade that is constructed of UPF50 or SPF+ fabrics. This can help protect the child from the sun. Other popular accessories include parasols that can be fixed to the frame of the pushchair, or sunmuffs which are often included or sold separately.
Budget
A new pushchair up to 25kg 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. Be aware that you will be using your pram for many years and that it's the most frequently used item. You want to choose one that fits your lifestyle and is comfortable both for both you and your child.
You may want to think about purchasing a travel set-up, which includes a carry cot and a seat. This is the safest way to transport a newborn, as it ensures they lie flat. This is ideal for securing their spine and opening up their airways. Newborns must always be transported lying flat until they reach six months of age.
Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, and also have an adjustable seat that can be reclined to a flat position. This is important as it protects the baby's developing spine and allows them to rest comfortably during long trips. It's important to know that not all pushchairs labelled 'lie-flat" actually offer a fully flat position. You should check this prior to purchasing.
You should consider a crib that has an ample basket that can hold all the baby's necessities and other items. 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 carrycot.
Another factor to consider is the wheels, which can vary between models. Some have fixed, swivel or lockable wheels that assist you in maneuvering the pushchair in various situations. Some have larger wheels that are more sturdy on rough terrain or have PU tires that are designed to be puncture-resistant.
Be aware of the dimensions of the handlebar and whether it is adjustable to your height. You should also make sure that the pushchair can be folded down to fit in your car, boot or on public transport. Certain models, such as the Joie Vinca has a one-handed fold that was highly evaluated by our MFM home testers and has earned it a Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
