Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

Safety

When selecting a stroller, the safety of your child's is paramount. A good pushchair should have a seat that reclines to a flat position and come with a five-point harness that is padded and has strong connections. Infants should always be carried in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your stroller does not come with a carrycot, you may want to consider a travel system that is a car seat and pram in one.

Make sure you unlock any locking devices when the pushchair isn't being used.
