Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram is equipped with a bassinet, however it can be converted into a stroller when the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. A stroller or pram with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. The essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and a crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Verify that the stroller you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a double pram and pushchair which allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position supports the baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can cause spinal problems. It also lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by ensuring that the airways are open. The majority of prams can be used as early as the moment of birth. They have an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted to a running pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it runs. A pram that has a lot of suspension is likely to cost more but it may be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a few years or more.

Always make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your pram or stroller. Also, ensure that your pram is parked in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it's not being used. It is recommended 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 alone with a child in it even if they are asleep. They could wriggle into the pram and become trapped, or slide away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't a good thing as they can fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies are able to lie flat, as it aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a warm nest-like space for your newborn and is able to be removed from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but they provide a comfortable ride for your child.

Some prams come with a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. This is sometimes described as a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your newborn.

Look for a double pram and pushchair with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure to check for gaps, or loose areas where fingers can be trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are easy for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not - it's perfect to keep an eye on your little one and helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parent testers loved the feature of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me that lets you raise your baby at the touch of the button. This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in contact, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're in the market for an appropriate travel system, be sure that the frame is compatible with your car capsule, as this will save you from having to wake them up while changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's needs for transport. Some prams have carrycots, a bassinet or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's spinal development and breathing. You should also check the other accessories that are included in the pram, for instance a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems allowing you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, so that you can transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair twin without needing to get them up. These are useful when you live a busy schedule or don't have the 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 them from car capsule to pram.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a fantastic feature. One good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can be lowered to allow your little one to 'glide' up to you by pressing a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You will also be able to keep changing and shopping 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 one to pick, check various models at your local store.
