10 Ways To Create Your Push Chair Empire

Buying a New Born Push Chair

A premium pushchair that's perfect for newborns thanks to luxury fabric and ergonomic support. It's also easy to assemble and can easily navigate the narrow aisles in shops.

Newborns should be able to lie flat, so opt for a baby model that comes with a carrycot or car seat/carrycot combination that is suitable from birth. Some models have an reversible design, which means you can decide if your baby is facing you or the rest of the world.

Safety

The pushchair, also known as a buggy or stroller, is one of the most commonly used baby products. Safety is the primary consideration when selecting a pushchair. Look for a five-point safety harness. This harness holds the child in the seat by using five points that join in the central locking system, two across the shoulders and two around the hips and between the legs. This system stops the child from sliding out of the seat in the event that the car falls over, or when driving over a kerb with a steep slope.

For newborns, a carrycot or infant car seats, prams and carrycots is essential. They must be able to lie flat. This is to protect their spine and allows them to breathe completely. This is crucial as it decreases the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Newborn babies should never travel long distances with a pushchair without this feature even if it features an adjustable seat.

It is also recommended to purchase a stroller that is suitable for babies from the time of birth. The pushchair should be suitable for use with a carrycot that can lay flat, or an infant car seat or pram. It should also come with the seat unit that can be completely reversible, so that the child can be able to face either the parent or the world.

The wheels of the stroller should be strong, have a good suspension, and be easily accessible. A lot of pushchairs have pneumatic tyres which absorb shocks better than conventional tyres and are able to run on rough terrain.

Accessories such as shopping baskets or pram changing bags or raincovers can be useful, especially if you are conducting errands when your baby is tucked in. Many pushchairs come with an hood that can be pulled over the baby's face to protect it from the sun or the wind. Some hoods are adjustable and allow you to lower or raise them depending on the weather.

Comfort

You want a newborn pushchair that is comfortable for both the child and the parent. This can mean padded seats that are easy to move around and durable enough to withstand rough terrain. Think about features such as storage and protection against weather. If you intend to use the egg pushchair sale to go for jogging or off-road excursions, you'll require an all-terrain pushchair that has larger wheels, designed to provide your child the best comfort on the most uneven terrain.

The best pushchair to use for the newborn is one that is a travel system or pram that comes with a carrycot. This allows your baby to sleep in a natural lying flat position, which is essential for the development of the spine and lung. Some pushchairs marketed as suitable from birth will actually require your child to be able to stand independently before they can be used, therefore be sure to verify this prior to purchasing.

A bassinet can be used to create a cot-like environment where your child can unwind while remaining secure and safe within the foldable pushchair. These seats are usually more expensive than a pushchair or travel system. However, if your child is comfortable in the seat, it might be worth the expense.

Many pushchairs allow you to 'face the seat' towards you for reassurance or bonding. Or away from you to explore the world. They are often described as parent-facing and world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs near me come with the option of converting from single to double. This means they can be converted into a double pushchair without the need for a separate frame.

On hot days you'll require a parasol for your pushchair to protect your baby from the sun and prevent overheating. Find it in pushchair bundles or separately. In colder temperatures it is possible to add a footmuff, which will keep your baby warm and cozy. There is a wide range of these, with most being fully machine washable.

Style

When shopping for a new pushchair, it's essential to take a look at the finer details, particularly because it will be one of your most frequently used baby products. For instance, certain models are made to be used on rough terrain with large wheels and a heavier frame that is heavy duty. Some models are lighter and easier to move when folded. Some come with adjustable seat padding, an expandable SPF canopy, and a footmuff for colder weather.

It is recommended that newborns lie flat, as this helps with the development of their spine as well as opening up their airways. It is recommended to use a pram/foldable pushchair with a carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs include seats or a carrycot which can fully recline. They are suitable for babies from birth. Check that this feature is present as some descriptions only provide an option to recline, but not mention the option of a lie-flat seat.

Most pushchairs provide the option of a parent facing or world facing seat, to allow you to have your baby face you to bond with you or away from you so that they can explore the world around them. Some pushchairs offer both options simultaneously!

Many pushchairs are equipped with a range of accessories, like shopping trays and baskets to make it easier for parents. Some also have an inbuilt sunshade that is usually made of UPF or SPF 50+ fabrics to help protect the baby from the sun. Other popular accessories include parasols which can be attached to the frame of the pushchair, or sunmuffs which are often included or sold separately.

Budget

It's important to take time to research your options and stay within your budget. It's important to remember that the pram will stay with you for a long time, and it's also the most used item so you want to make sure you get one that fits your needs and is comfortable for you and your child.

You may want to consider buying a travel system which includes a carry-cot and a seat. This is the safest method of transporting a baby as it ensures that they are lying flat. This is ideal for securing their spine development and opening their airways. Newborns must always be transported lying flat until they reach the age of six months.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, and also have an adjustable seat that can be reclined to an upright position. This is important as it protects a newborn's developing spine and allows them to sleep comfortably during long journeys. However, it's worth noting that not all pushchairs that claim they are 'lie-flat' actually have a full flat position and you should confirm this prior to purchasing.

It is also worth looking at a model with a large shopping basket, which will be essential to store all the necessities of your baby's belongings. The basket should be easy to access and you shouldn't need to struggle to get your shopping done or out of your baby's carrycot.

Another factor to consider is the wheels, which can differ between models. Some have fixed, swivel or lockable wheels that can aid in maneuvering the pushchair through different conditions. Some have larger wheels which can be more robust on rough terrain, or are fitted with PU tyres that are designed to be puncture-proof.

Also, you should consider the size of the handlebar, and whether it's adjustable to suit your height. Also, you must make sure the pushchair folds small enough to fit into your car's trunk or onto public transport. Some models, such as the Joie Vinca have one-handed folds that was highly reviewed by MFM home testers. It earned it a Gold Award at previous MadeForMums Awards.
