Choosing a Pushchair Newborn

A pushchair newborn is one of the most essential baby items you’ll need. There are many options available, but it is important to select the best one for your family and you.

Safety

A good pushchair should include a seat that can recline to a lie-flat position and come with a five-point harness that is cushioned and has sturdy connections. Newborns should always be transported in a carrycot, not in the main seat. If your pushchair does not come with a carrycot, you should think about a travel system that is a car seat and pram all in one.

The frame of your pushchair needs to be stable and have a broad base to ensure that it doesn’t tip over easily. It is important to avoid filling the back of your chair with shopping bags or toys because this could affect the stability of the chair. If your pushchair has three wheels, it must have a good suspension. The wheels should also be made of rubber or PU to help absorb shocks. Find brakes that are easy to operate and check that they’re working properly before you strap your baby in.

Before you start using the pushchair, ensure that you’ve read all the instructions. It is important to teach anyone who will use it how to fold, open and secure it. When the pushchair isn’t being used, remove all locking mechanisms.
