Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is a must for newborns and babies and has the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and should be kept as secure as is possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. A stroller or pram must have a working break, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will include a seat unit that will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with many spring suspensions will be more expensive, but it is worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

Always be sure to go through the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or stroller. When not using it, 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 be trapped or even suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left alone with a child in it even if they're asleep. They could get squirming into the pram and get trapped, or slide away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles is not recommended as they can fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, since it aids in better lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams also have an additional bassinet, infant stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes according to your baby's needs. It is commonly called a 'travel system' and is the first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Look for a pram that has two shoulder straps that are ideally padded, and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body snugly. Check that there are no gaps or areas where fingers can be trapped. Also make sure the buckles are safe for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram store near me or not - it's perfect to keep an eye on your little one and helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of some prams like the Graco Near2Me that lets you raise your baby at the push of a button. This is an excellent method of keeping connected to your baby, particularly if they're sleeping. If you're looking to purchase an appropriate travel system, be sure that whether the frame is compatible with the car capsule you've chosen, as this will save the need to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams have a carrycot or bassinet, which allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline to a lie-flat position. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it is cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your child from the car to the pram without waking them up. These are useful if you have a busy life or don't have a sufficient space for a pram capsule, although it's worth keeping in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our parent tester found 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 by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram pushchair newborn has a solid base and wheels that are able to handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it up easily and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You will also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although be aware that putting on too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure what to choose, try different models at your local retailer.
