Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports your baby and avoids a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used as early as birth.

It is also not recommended to hang bags or other items on the handles since they may fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on many prams. They create a nest-like space that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's needs. This is often referred to as a 'travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your baby.

If you are searching for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you choose you won't have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

Some prams have a carrycot or bassinet, that allows your baby to be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It is also a good idea to check out the other accessories the pram has, such as the footmuff and changing bag which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you don't have enough space your car's boot to accommodate a pram. But, you must keep in mind that you'll need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit up independently before you change them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is functional and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store bags for shopping and changing under the pram (but remember that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're unsure which one to pick, check various models at your local retailer.
