Buying a New Born Push Chair

Newborns should always lie flat, so go for a model that has either a car seat or a carrycot combination suitable from birth. Some have a reversible seat unit so you can choose to have your baby face either you or the world.

Safety

A pushchair (also referred to as buggy, pram or stroller) is one of the most used baby products, so safety should be the top priority when selecting one. Choose the five-point safety harness. This harness holds the child in the seat using five points that connect in the central locking system, two across the shoulders and two between the hips as well as between the legs. This system stops the child from slipping out of the seat in the event that the car falls over, or when driving over a kerb with a steep slope.

A carrycot or infant car seat / pram & carrycot combination is essential for infants as they require the ability to lie flat, which safeguards their spine development and opens their airways fully.

Comfort

When it comes down to newborn pushchairs you want one that is comfortable for baby as well as the parent. This could include padding for the seats and a pushchair which is easy to maneuver and robust enough to withstand rough terrain. Consider features like storage and protection against weather. If you plan to use the pushchair for jogging, or off-road excursions, you'll require an all-terrain pushchair that has larger wheels that are designed to provide your child the best comfort on the most uneven terrain.

The ideal pushchair for the newborn is one that is a travel system or pram that comes with a carrycot. This will allow your baby to sleep in a natural lying flat position, which is essential for lung and spine development.

Some pushchairs come with a carrycot or seat unit which can fully recline. These are suitable for infants from birth.

Most pushchairs let you choose between a parent-facing or a world facing unit. This lets you choose whether your baby faces you for reassurance or bonding with you, or is away from you in order to explore the world. Some pushchairs allow both simultaneously!

Budget
