Choose a model that has the carrycot, or a combination of a car seat and a carriercot, which is suitable for babies. Some have a reversible unit, allowing you to have your baby either face you or the world.
Safety
A pushchair (also referred to as a buggy, pram or stroller and pushchair) is one of the most used baby products, so safety should be an important consideration when choosing one. Make sure you choose the five-point safety harness. This harness locks the child into the seat with five points – two across shoulders, two around hips and between legs, and two in the middle. This system helps to prevent the child from falling out of the seat in the event that it is flipped over or while driving up or down the kerb that is steep.
A carrycot or infant car seat/ pram & carrycot combination is essential for infants because they require the capacity to lie flat, which protects their spine and allows them to fully open their airways. This is essential because it decreases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Babies born today should not be allowed to be able to travel for long distances in a pushchair without this feature even if it comes with the option of reclining seats.
It is also recommended that you purchase a pushchair suitable from the time of birth. This means that the pushchair can be used in conjunction with a carrycot that is flat on the floor or an pram or infant car seat and it comes with an entirely reversible seat so that the baby can be able to face either the parent or the world.
Finally, the wheels of the pushchair should be sturdy and have an adequate suspension to reduce vibrations and bumps as well having a brake pedal that can easily be reached. Many pushchairs come with pneumatic tyres that absorb shocks more effectively than conventional tyres and are able to be used on terrains that are rough.
Additional accessories like a raincover, shopping baskets or changing bags for prams are useful in everyday use, particularly when you are you are running errands with your baby in tow. Many pushchairs come with a hood which can be placed over the face of the baby to protect it from the sun or the wind. Some hoods are adjustable with the ability to raise or lower them depending on the conditions.
Comfort
You want a newborn pushchair that is comfortable for the child and the parent. This can be padded seats, simple to maneuver and strong enough for rough terrain. It is also important to think about other features like storage and protection from the weather. If you plan to use the pushchair for jogging, or off-road adventures, you’ll require an all-terrain pushchair that has larger wheels that are designed to provide your child the best comfort on the roughest terrain.
The ideal pushchair for a newborn will be a pram, or a travel system that comes with the option of a carry cot that allows your baby to sleep in their normal lying down position, which is crucial for healthy spine and lung development. Some pushchairs labeled “suitable for babies from birth” require that your child can sit up on their own. Make sure you check this prior to making an purchase.
A bassinet is a different option offering a small cot-like space for your newborn to relax in, while remaining safe and secure in the pushchair. They are generally more expensive than a standard pushchair, or even a travel system, but can be worth the extra expense in the event that your baby is happy to be in this kind of seat.
Many pushchairs allow you to ‘face the seat’ towards you for comfort or bonding. Or, you can turn your back to explore the world. They are often described as parent-facing and world-facing pushchairs. Some pushchairs come with the option of converting from single to double. This means that they can be converted into a double foldable pushchair without the need for an additional frame.
You will need a parasol for your pushchair on hot days to protect your baby from the sun and avoid overheating. Most manufacturers include this as part of the pushchair bundle, or offer it as a separate item, so look out for this. In colder weather, you may wish to add a footmuff, which will keep your baby warm and snug. There is a wide variety of them and most are machine washable.
Style
When looking for a brand new pushchair, it’s important to look at the finer details, especially because it will be among your most frequently used baby products. Certain models are designed for rough terrain and come with bigger wheels and a sturdy frame. Some models are lighter and easier to move when folded. Some have adjustable seat padding, an expandable SPF canopy and an insulated footmuff for colder climates.
It is recommended to lie newborns flat on their backs, as this aids in the development of their spine and opens their airways. It is best to use a pushchair or pram with a carrycot or travel system. Some pushchairs come with a fully reclined seat or carrycot, and are suitable for babies from the time of birth. Be sure to check if this feature is available, as certain descriptions only mention the option of reclining, but do not mention a lie-flat seat.
Most pushchairs offer the choice of either a parent or world facing seat to allow you to have your baby either face you for bonding and reassurance or away from you so they can discover the world around them. Some pushchairs offer both options simultaneously!

Be aware that you will be using your pram for many years and it’s the most used item. You need to pick one that fits your lifestyle and is comfortable both for both you and your child.
You may want to consider buying a travel system which includes a carry-cot and seat. This is the safest method to transport a baby since it guarantees that they lie flat. This is the most effective way to ensure their spinal development and open up their airways. Newborns should always be transported in a lie-flat position until they are six months old.
Some pushchairs are suitable for babies and include an adjustable seat that can fully recline to a flat position. This is crucial because it protects a baby’s spine as it grows and allows them to rest comfortably during long trips. It’s important to note that not all pushchairs labeled “lie-flat” actually provide a completely flat position. You should verify this before purchasing.
Consider a model that has a large basket for all the baby’s necessities and other items. The basket should be easy to access and you will be able to squeeze your shopping in without difficulty or having to take your child from the carrycot.
Wheels also differ between models. Some models come with wheels that can be locked, swivelled, or fixed to assist you in moving the pushchair. Some have larger wheels, which can be more robust on rough terrain, or are fitted with PU tires that are made to be puncture-proof.
Consider the size of the handlebar and if it can be adjusted to your height. You should also make sure that the pushchair can be folded down to fit in your car’s boot or on public transport. Some models, like the Joie Vinca comes with a one-handed fold up pushchair that was highly evaluated by our MFM home testers and has earned it the Gold Award in previous MadeForMums awards.
