Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn (click here for more) is dedicated to newborns and babies and has a deep, sturdy carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be kept as secure as is possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will keep your baby in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A stroller or pram must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Make sure the pram you select meets these requirements.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of sale prams can be used as early as birth. They have a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat position for younger infants and converts to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram is crucial as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will cost more, but it is worth the extra cost when you intend to use your pram each for a while or longer.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not using it, place your stroller in a safe area away from dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left alone with a baby in it even if they're asleep. They could wriggle into the pram and get stuck, or be pushed away and cause injuries. Hanging bags, or other items on the handles isn't an ideal idea as they can fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but offer the comfort of your child.

Some prams come with an additional bassinet, infant stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes according to your baby's needs. It is often called a "travel system" and is the first option to try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps that are ideally padded, and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body comfortably. Be sure to check for gaps or areas, where fingers could be trapped. Also make sure the buckles are easy for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a pram that faces the parent or not - it's perfect to watch your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parents who tested the product loved the feature of some prams travel system like the Graco Near2Me that lets you raise your baby and lower it at the touch of a button. This is a great way to stay in touch with your baby, particularly if they're sleeping. If you're looking for an appropriate travel system, be sure to check the frame is compatible with your car capsule, as this will save the need to wake them up when changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. 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 to a lying-flat position. You should also check what other accessories are included in the pram, such as a footmuff or a 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 an auto pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can transfer your baby from the car to the twin pram without waking them. These are useful if your lifestyle is busy or you don't have enough space your car's boot to accommodate a pram. However, you should keep in mind that you will need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit up on their own before you change them from a car capsule to pushchair.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a fantastic feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide towards you at the push of an button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You will also be able to store shopping and changing bags in the basket underneath (although keep in mind that putting on too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of what to choose, try different models at the local store.
