Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can depend on prams and pushchairs that can be versatile and multi-functional. They are the co-pilots for your child's journey.

A pram newborn is designed for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram will typically come with a bassinet. However, it can be transformed into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. The basic requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and the strap for the crotch) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Make sure the pram you select meets these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports your baby and avoids the development of a risky curve in their spine which could lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used as early as the time of birth. They come with seats that recline into a lay-flat mode for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smoothly it rides. A pram that has many spring suspensions will be more expensive however, it's worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram every for a while or more.

Always read the directions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. It is also important to ensure that your pram is parked in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it's not being used. It is recommended to remove any bags or items from the handles since they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They can get wriggling and become trapped or the pram could slide away push chairs and prams the baby could be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, because it helps improve lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere for your baby and can be easily removed from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat don't recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also have a separate bassinet, newborn inset or double stroller seat, so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes according to your baby's needs. It is commonly described as a "travel system' and is the first thing you should do with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Check that there are no gaps or areas where fingers can become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are safe for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's perfect for keeping an eye on your little one and helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parents who tested the product loved the feature of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me which lets you raise your baby at the touch of a button. This is an excellent method of keeping connected to your baby, especially if they are asleep. If you're seeking an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams come with carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that can recline to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is important to look at what other accessories the pram has like an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder months.

It's also worth noting that some strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, so that you can move your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to awake them. This is a great option when you live a busy life or don't have a big enough boot for pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to 'glide closer to you at the touch of an button.

Also, ensure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down with ease and make sure the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able keep changing and shopping bags in the basket underneath (although remember that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check various models at your local store.
