This high-end pushchair is perfect for newborns, thanks to its luxurious knit fabric and ergonomically designed support. It's also simple to assemble, and can easily navigate narrow store aisles.

Newborns should be able to lie flat, so go for a model with either the car seat/carrycot combination suitable from birth. Some models have the option of a reversible model, so you can choose whether your baby is facing you or the the world.

Safety

The pushchair, also referred to as a stroller or buggy, is one of the most frequently used baby products. Safety should be a top priority when choosing a pushchair. Choose the five-point safety harness. This harness holds the child in the seat with five points that join in a central locking system - two across the shoulders and two between the hips and the legs. This system will prevent the child from falling out of the seat in the event that the car falls over, or when driving over a kerb with a steep slope.

For newborns carrying a carrycot or car seats / prams & carrycots combination is essential. They should be able to lie down. This helps protect their spine development and allows them to breathe freely. This is vital as it decreases the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Babies born today should not travel long distances in the pushchair that doesn't provide this feature even if they could be pushed in a reclined seat unit.

It is also advisable to buy a pushchair that is suitable from the time of birth. The pushchair must be capable of being used with a carrycot which can lie flat or an infant car seat/pram. It should also come with an infant seat that is fully reversible so that the child can face either the parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller need to be sturdy, have good suspension and be easily accessible. Many pushchairs are fitted with pneumatic tyres that can absorb shocks better than standard tyres and can run on uneven terrain.

Additional accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets or changing bags for prams are useful in everyday use, especially when you are running errands with your baby in tow. A lot of pushchairs come with the option of a hood that can be put over the baby's face to shield it from sun or the wind. Certain hoods are adjustable to suit the conditions.

Comfort

You'll want a pushchair for your newborn that is comfortable for the baby and the parent. This can mean padded seats, easy to move around and durable enough to withstand the rough terrain. It is also important to look at other features, such as weather protection and storage options. If you are going to use the pushchair for jogging, or off-road excursions, you'll require an all-terrain pushchair with larger wheels that are designed to give your child the most comfort on the roughest ground.

The ideal pushchair for the newborn is one that is a travel system or pram that has a carrycot.

A bassinet can be utilized to provide a cot-like area where your child can relax while remaining safe and secure in the pushchair. They are generally more expensive than a traditional pushchair, or even a travel system, but they can be worth the cost if your baby is happy to go in this type of seat.

Many pushchairs offer the option to 'face' the seat towards you for bonding and comfort, or away from you, to explore the world. These are sometimes called parent-facing or world-facing pushchairs. Some will have a single-to double pushchair option that means they can be modified to accommodate two children without the necessity of a separate double frame for the pushchair.

Some pushchairs come with seats or a carrycot that can recline completely. They are suitable for infants from birth. Check that this feature is available, as some descriptions only provide the option of reclining, but do not mention the option of a lie-flat seat.

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

Many pushchairs are equipped with a range of accessories, like baskets and shopping trays to simplify the lives of parents.

Some pushchairs are able to be used as early as birth, and have an adjustable seat that can be reclined to a flat position. This is crucial as it protects a newborn pushchair's growing spine and allows them to sleep comfortably on long journeys. It's important to know that not all pushchairs labelled "lie-flat" actually provide a completely flat position. It is important to verify this prior to buying.

It is also worth thinking about a model with a large shopping basket, which is essential to store all your baby's necessities and other belongings. The basket should be easily accessible and you shouldn't need to struggle to get your shopping in or take out your baby's stroller.

Wheels can also vary between models. Some have fixed, swivel or lockable wheels that can aid in maneuvering the pushchair in various situations. Others have larger wheels that are more stable on rough terrain, or are equipped with PU tyres specifically designed to resist puncture.
