Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can count on pushchairs and prams to be multi-functional and versatile. They're the co-pilots of the new journey of your child.

A pram for newborns is designed for newborns and babies and has the most solid, sturdy carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

A pram typically comes with a bassinet, but it can be converted to a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and should be kept as safe as is possible. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure while traveling. A stroller or pram must include a break that is working, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the position recommended for lying flat. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which can lead to spinal problems. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways free. The majority of prams that can be used from birth will have a seat unit that will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for younger babies and then transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it rides. 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.

You should always take the time to read the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or stroller. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it is not being used. You should also remove any bags or other objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They could get squirming into the pram and get trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. 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

It is crucial that babies 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 cozy environment 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 still provide a comfy ride for your baby.

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

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Be sure to check for gaps, or loose places where fingers could become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are easy for older children to operate. It is also important to consider if you'd like an adult-facing pram. It is great to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure seeing their parents.

Our parents who tested the product enjoyed the features of some prams like the Graco Near2Me that allows you to raise your baby and lower it by pressing the button. This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, especially when they're sleepy. If you're seeking a travel system compatible with the car capsule you select, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's needs for transport. Some prams have the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allows your baby to be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the pram, like the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm in the event of cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame with adaptors, meaning you can transfer your baby from the car to the pram without waking them. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you do not have enough space in your car boot to accommodate the pram. However, it is important to keep in mind that you'll need to wait until your child is old enough to sit on their own before you change them from a car capsule into a pushchair.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to a 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 very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your child to 'glide into your arms with the push of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Also, ensure that your baby's pram has a solid base and wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and Pushchairs And Prams securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able store bags for shopping and changing underneath the pram (but remember that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which model to choose, try out a few different models at your local store.
