Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are the multi-functional, multi-purpose partners of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots for your child's journey.

A pram newborn is a stroller for infants and newborns. It has a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls that are safe and Stroller Compact secure.

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable while traveling. A pram or stroller must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Check that your chosen pram is up to the standards before you buy.

Look for a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can cause spinal problems. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways clear. The majority of prams can be used as early as the moment of birth. They come with seats that recline into a lay-flat position for infants. It can also be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension on a pram is important because it can affect how smooth the ride. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will cost more however it is worth the extra expense when you intend to use your pram each day for a few years or longer.

Always take the time to go through the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is parked in a safe location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it's not being used. It is also a good idea to remove any bags or items from the handles since they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They can wriggle and become trapped or the pram could slide away and the baby might be injured. Hanging bags, or other items on the handles isn't recommended since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a necessity for babies, since it aids in better back and lung development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cozy, nest-like environment for your infant and is able to be removed from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lay flat, but provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams have an additional bassinet or seat for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. It is commonly referred to as a 'travel system' and is the first thing you should do with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Make sure there aren't any gaps or places where fingers could become trapped. Also make sure the buckles are safe for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a pram with a parent-facing feature or not. It's perfect to watch your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with a nifty raise and lower feature that can bring your baby right up to your face at the touch of an button, which our parent testers loved! This is a fantastic method to keep eye contact with your baby and keep in touch, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're looking for a travel system, make sure the frame is compatible with your car capsule to avoid you having to wake them up when changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

It is essential to consider your baby's needs for transportation when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams come with the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline into a flat position. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the pram, for instance the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby pram warm when it is cold.

Some prams and strollers strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors, meaning you can move your baby from the car to the pram without waking them. These are useful for those who have a hectic life or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering your infant's seat from a low to high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our tester for parents found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which lets your child 'glide closer to you at the push of the button.

You should also be able to store bags for shopping and changing in the basket beneath. It should be possible to store shopping bags and changing bags underneath the pram (but remember that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure what model to choose, try some different models at your local retailer.
