Choosing a Newborn Pushchair

New parents may be pondering whether a stroller, pram or buggy is the best choice for their newborn. The majority of prams are designed for newborns and infants with a padded seat that fully reclines to aid with breathing and the development of their spine.

In the first six months it is recommended that babies travel in an upright position. This can be accomplished by attaching an infant bassinet or a carrycot to a pram frame.

Lie-flat pushchairs

A lie-flat stroller is essential for new parents and newborns. Research suggests that infants should be lying flat as opposed to sitting upright in a chair or pram as this promotes healthy spine and lung development. A reclining pushchair may help to make your new baby feel comfortable and calm when they go for long walks or excursions out.

There are numerous pram accessories that are available, such as parasols, a footmuff and a car seat cover. A sunshade, or an extendable SPF50+ canopy, can protect your baby from the sun. A footmuff can provide additional padding to ensure comfort and is ideal for colder weather. A car seat protector is an additional useful item. It protects your baby's seat from spilled drinks, food, as well as general wear and tear.

Some of the top strollers come with an integrated travel system where you can add a car seat to your baby as well as an infant carrycot to the chassis. This is a complete solution for newborns. Based on the brand you select, this could be a cost-effective way to purchase a pushchair as well as a car seat together. The Babyzen Yoyo 2 for example comes with a special baby pack that turns the buggy into a pram with an infant bassinet and car seat.

Carrycots are often needed during the initial few weeks of a baby's existence since they cannot sit up in the stroller. A carrycot is a type of bed that can be fitted onto the chassis of a pram. It can be used as a baby sleeper for as long as 6 months. Some carrycots have a viewing panel or sunshade Mamas And Papas Armadillo Pushchair: Lockable Wheels Black can be removed from the chassis to be used as a standalone accessory for longer car trips.

If your pushchair does not come with a carrycot you can purchase it separately and attach it with adaptors for the chassis. A carrycot must be regularly cleaned and inspected for dampness as well as mould. If mildew or mould are identified, the fabric should be scrubbed, rinsed with cool soapy-water and dried outside away from other strollers.

Prams

The majority of pushchairs don't have the ability to recline fully, allowing newborns to lie flat. Prams are a better option for newborns. Some models even allow babies to stand up a little to help with reflux.

A pram is designed to be used for carrying newborns and infants. They are generally more robust than strollers. Prams are able to be used from the moment of birth and usually come with a bassinet or carrycot which can be connected to their frame. Some prams can also be used as a travel system which is great for parents who are busy as it reduces the number of items you need to store in your car.

It can be a struggle for new parents to choose the right pram or pushchair. There are so many choices. Choosing a model that will allow them to recline or sit up in a fully flat position will enhance their sleep quality on outings. It is essential to choose the correct pushchair for the weather conditions in your area. Newborns are also sensitive to temperature and humidity.

The best prams for newborns are durable, have large wheels, and are light. The pram should have a large storage basket that can hold important items like bottles, diapers, and snacks. The pram should also have a sun canopy that protects your baby from the sun's heat and a raincover for protection from sudden showers.

These items can be bought at a trusted online retailer such as Little Birdy.

Travel systems

A travel system is the ideal option for you if you wish to buy a newborn stroller that grows with your child. A travel system bundles a stroller car seat, and carrycot into one package. It is also likely to include adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby from the car to the stroller with no disturbance. This is particularly useful for ensuring that you meet the recommended travel time of half an hour for newborns.

There are many travel systems available. It is essential to study them thoroughly before making a decision. Some systems are complete, containing everything you require for your baby's birth until toddlerhood, whereas others include separate components which can be purchased when needed. It's also worth checking if the pushchair and car seat you're considering are compatible. Some systems require you to purchase additional car adaptors for seats. This can be expensive.

Safety

Newborns spend lots of time in their pushchair, so safety is essential. A safety harness is just one of the many features you should think about to ensure your baby is securely secured in the seat. The harness is designed to secure the child by placing straps around their shoulders, hips and between their legs. It is important to choose a pushchair with a secure and robust suspension system, that is able to handle bumps and bumps of the road.

Another security feature to be looking for is the harness's five-point design, which is a requirement of Australian safety standards. This guarantees that your child will not escape the seat in the event of a crash. The length of the strap, the forces required to open the buckle and sizes of the loops are all measured and tested thoroughly.

Choosing a newborn pushchair with an incline-flat seat is recommended, as it is more secure for your child. Research has revealed that children who are in upright pushchairs tend to get into a scrunched-up position, which prevents them from breathing properly. This can cause serious breathing issues.

A newborn pushchair should also include a large, wide basket to store your shopping and personal belongings. It should also come with a sun shade, rain cover and cup holder to ensure your baby is at ease. You might also want to look into a changing bag or pram blanket along with pushchair clips, which permit you to hang your changing bag on the side of the seat.
