Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller for newborns and babies. It is a solid, deep carrycot that is soft, safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and must be protected as much as you can. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A pram or stroller must include a break that is working, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Make sure the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports your baby and helps prevent a dangerous curvature in their spine which could lead to spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used right from the moment of birth. They come with an adjustable seat that reclines to lay flat for infants. It can also be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension on the pram is crucial as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A twin pram that has a lot of spring suspension will be more expensive, but it is worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

Always read the directions and carefully read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not in use, keep your stroller away from dangers like traffic, bicycles or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's never recommended to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can get wriggling and become stuck or the pram might roll away and they could be injured. It's also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects off the handles as they could fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option of lying flat as this aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carrycots are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like space that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat, don't recline to lie flat, but they still provide a comfy ride for your baby.

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 called a "travel system" and is the first setup you should test out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not - it's ideal to keep an eye on your child and helping them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parents who tested the product loved the feature of certain prams such as the Graco Near2Me, which lets you raise your baby at the push of a button. This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby and stay in contact, particularly when they're asleep. If you're seeking an infant travel pram 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

It is crucial to consider your baby's needs for transportation when buying a newborn pram. Some prams have a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to lay flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline into a flat position. It is important to take a look at the other accessories are included in the pram like an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder weather.

It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the double pushchair without having to wake them up. These can be useful if you have a busy life or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate a pram capsule, although it's important to keep 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 consider is the possibility of raising and lowering your infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our tester for parents found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to glide closer to you at the press of the button.

Finally, make sure your newborn pram has a sturdy base and wheels that are able to handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it up easily and ensure that the safety harness is in good working order that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although keep in mind that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of what to choose, try various models at the local store.
