Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

Experts advise that infants be able to lay flat within the first few months. Find models that have a fully reclined seat, which can be used as a newborn.

Safety

The safety of your child is paramount when choosing a pushchair. A good pushchair will include a seat that reclines to a flat position and a five-point harness padded with firm connections. Infants should always be carried in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your pushchair does not have a carrycot then you should think about a travel system that is a car seat and pram and travel system all in one.

The frame of your stroller should be stable and it should have a broad base so that it isn't able to tip over easily. Do not overload the back of your pushchair with toys or shopping bags because this could affect its stability. If your pushchair has three wheels then it must have good suspension and the wheels should be composed of PU or rubber to provide greater shock absorption. Find brakes that are simple to operate and make sure that they're working properly before you strap your baby in.

A high-quality pushchair should include a raincover that is zipped into place and which has a protective lining, which will help keep your baby pram dry and comfortable. Some pushchairs come with a sun canopy, also known as a hood, that can be extended for more coverage.

Make sure you unlock all locking devices when the pushchair is not in use.

Comfort

Newborn babies have a small neck and have a very weak strength, so they must lie flat to be comfortable and to breathe.
