Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can depend on pushchairs and prams to be versatile and multi-functional. They are the co-pilots on the new adventure of your child.

A pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies and has a deep, sturdy carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns must be protected as much as is possible. Buying a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. The most essential requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps and an crotch strap) and a 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 pram that allows your infant to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position helps your baby and prevents a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used right from birth. They come with seats that recline to lay flat for younger infants and converts to a twin pushchair for older children.

The suspension on the pram is crucial as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will be more expensive however, it's worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it is not being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other objects from the handles, as they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's not an ideal idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could wriggle into the pram and get trapped, or roll away and cause injury. It's not a good idea to hang bags or other things on the handles since they can fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a essential for infants as it promotes better lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cozy nest-like space for your baby and is able to be removed from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but they provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams come with an additional bassinet, infant inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's needs. This is often referred to as a 'compact travel pram system' and is the first option you should test with your baby.

Look for a pram that has two shoulder straps which are cushioned and a five-point security harness. It must fit your child's body perfectly. Check that there are no gaps or areas where fingers can be trapped. Also, ensure 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 ideal to watch your child, and also helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with an awesome raise and lower function that can bring your baby up to your face at the push of a button, which our parent testers really loved! This is an excellent method of keeping in touch with your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you are seeking a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the pram and the car.

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 allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline into a flat position. It is also a good idea to take a look at the other accessories the pram comes with like an infant changing bag and a footmuff that are essential to keep your baby warm in the colder winter months.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems allowing you to connect a car capsule with the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These are great when you have a busy schedule or you don't have enough space in your car boot to accommodate a pram. However, you should keep in mind that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit independently before you transform them from a car capsule to the pushchair.

Another feature to look out for is the possibility of raising and lowering the infant's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide towards you at the touch of an button.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that are able to handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness is in good working order and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You will also be able to keep changing and shopping bags in the basket underneath (although be aware that loading the pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to pick, check some different models at the local retailer.
