Babies need to lie flat in a pram, pushchair, or stroller - here's why, and what it means when you're shopping for baby equipment.
Choosing the best pram for a newborn can be a confusing business, especially if you’re a first-time parent. There are so many brands to choose from and all the different configurations and setups can leave your head spinning.
It can be especially difficult to work out whether you should opt for a travel system with a detachable bassinet so your baby can lie fully flat from birth to six months, or choose a pushchair with a seat that can recline flat for newborns but then be adjusted to suit a toddler. Once you've solved this conundrum and settled on the perfect set of wheels for your most precious cargo, you need to wrap your head around when your baby stops needing to lie flat and can safely sit in an upright pushchair seat instead.
