Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can rely on prams and pushchairs to be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots of your child's new journey.

A pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies and has a deep, sturdy carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

A pram comes with a bassinet, but it can be converted to a stroller once the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as is possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable during travel. A stroller or pram must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Be sure that the model you are considering meets these standards before you buy.

Find a pram which allows your baby to best travel pram in the recommended lying-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. It also reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways free. Most prams can be used as early as the time of birth. They have a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat position for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension on prams is vital because it can affect how smooth the ride is. A pram with a lot of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it may be worth paying for this feature if you are planning on using your pram everyday for a couple of years or longer.

It is important to make sure to read the instruction manual and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not in use, you should place your stroller in a safe area away from dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to remove any bags or items from the handles as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A pram or stroller should not be left unattended with a baby in it even if they're asleep. They can get wriggling and become stuck or the pram might roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't recommended because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option of lying flat as this aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams have a separate seat or bassinet for infants. This lets you easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on the needs of your baby. This is often referred to as a 'travel system and is the first configuration you should try with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Make sure there aren't any gaps, or loose areas where fingers can become trapped. Also make sure the buckles are simple for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a pram that faces the parent or not. It's perfect to watch your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, have a nifty raise and lower function that can bring your baby right up to your face at the touch of the button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby and keep in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're searching for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams include carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that can recline to an upright position. This is essential to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is also important to know the other accessories that are included in the pram, such as a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

It's worth noting that certain prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors so that you can transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair car seat without needing to get them up. This is a great option if you have a busy lifestyle or don't have a big enough boot for prams, however it's worth keeping in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found was very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can lower to allow your baby to glide into your arms with the push of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness is in good working order, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able store bags for shopping and changing underneath the pram (but remember that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure what to choose, try different models at your local retailer.
