For the first few months, you'll need a crib, carrycot or Moses basket (a light, portable bassinet). Your baby needs to sleep somewhere that's safe, warm and not too far from you.Once your baby has outgrown the carrycot, you can switch it out for the seat unit, which has adjustable calf support and a lie-flat design. We also love the extra details such as the extendable hood with UPF50 protection, zip-out airflow panel and pull-out sunshade. This could be in the form of a seat that fully reclines or a carry cot that can be attached to the frame. What are the different types of pushchair?

With large puncture-proof wheels and a bouncy suspension, Bugaboo’s latest offering in the Fox line, the Fox 5, provides an exceptional ride for little ones. Our parent tester, Beccy, put it through its paces on gravel roads, muddy paths and woodland trails, describing it as a “true workhorse” when on the move with her toddler and preschooler. Buying an infant car seat is essential, even if you don’t drive, as you’ll need one that you can use in taxis or a friend’s car – but could you use one instead of a carrycot?Extended rear-facing car seats, that let you keep your child rear-facing until the age of four/18kg/105cm, are becoming more common, and crash tests show they're much safer. It doesn’t just look good though. It’s super functional too, with a world- and parent-facing seat that can be folded down in either position. While you can’t do it one handed like the Bugaboo Bee 6, it's light and compact for fitting into a car boot and you have the option to remove the wheels if you need more space. Baby nests are not suitable for your baby to sleep in when you're not there because of the danger of suffocation. A carrycot is the safest and most comfortable way to transport your newborn baby. In those first few months after birth, your little one needs to lie flat because they’re not yet able to support themselves in an upright position. That makes finding the right carrycot an important priority for many expectant parents.
