Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is a special stroller for newborns and babies. It has a sturdy, deep carrycot and soft, safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns must be protected as much as is possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will keep your baby in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and the Crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the childs pram. Verify that the stroller you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Look for a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position helps your baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used as early as the moment of birth. They come with seats that recline to lay flat for infants, and can be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension on a pram and car seat is important because it affects how smooth the ride. A pram bags with a lot of spring suspension will be more expensive however it is worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

You should always take the time to read the instruction manual and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram shops near me. You should also make sure that your stroller is placed in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects off the handles, as they could cause your baby to be caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child might be injured. Hanging bags, or other items on the handles isn't an ideal idea as they can fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, as it promotes better back and lung development. Cocoons or carriers are found on many prams. They create a nest-like environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat, but they still provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes depending on your bub's needs. It is commonly referred to as a 'travel system and is the first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Be sure to check for gaps, or loose areas, where fingers could be trapped. Also make sure the buckles are simple for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not. It's great to keep an eye on your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have a nifty raise and lower function that can bring your baby up to your face at the push of a button, which our parents testers really loved! This is a great method of keeping connected to your baby, especially if they are sleeping. If you're looking for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

When purchasing a newborn pram, it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is important to check out the other accessories are included in the pram, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

It's also worth noting that some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. These are great for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you don't have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate the pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit up independently before you convert them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a wonderful feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me which lets your child 'glide up' to you with the press of the button.

Also, ensure that your baby's pram has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is in good working order, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should also be able to store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that loading the pram with excessive weight can cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which model to go with, try out a variety of models at your local retailer.
