How to Buy a Pushchair Cheap

Newborns must be able to lie flat in a pram for the first six months, so choose an infant frame that has either a carrycot or a infant seat. Often called a travel system, these are easily removed and attached to the chassis to get your baby out of the car and into the jogging pushchair without waking them up.
