Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and should be kept as secure as possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps and the Crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that your chosen pram is up to the standards before you purchase.

Find a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position helps your baby and helps prevent a dangerous curvature in their spine that could cause spinal problems. It reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways clear. The majority of prams that can be used from birth will include an infant seat that can recline to a lay-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

You should always make sure to read the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe spot away from bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They could wriggle into the pram and become trapped, or it could be pushed away and cause injuries. It's not recommended to hang bags or other things on the handles since they can fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option of lying flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on many prams. They create a cozy environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also feature 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 commonly called a 'travel system and is the first thing you should do with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps which are cushioned and a five-point security harness. It should fit your baby's body comfortably. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught and that the buckles are easy to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a pram with a parent-facing feature or not - it's great to keep an eye on your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower function that brings your baby up to your face at the push of a button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a great way to stay connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you are searching for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you choose it is not necessary 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 needs for transport. Some prams come with carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that can recline to a flat position. This is important to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It's important to take a look at the other accessories are included in the pram, such as the footmuff and changing bag which are essential to keep your baby warm in colder months.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame using adaptors, so you can transfer your child from the car to the pram without waking them. These can be useful when you live a busy schedule or don't have the sufficient space for pram capsules, but it's important to keep in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram for newborn.

Another feature you may want to consider is the ability to raise and lower your newborn'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 tester for parents found very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide' up to you at the press of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness is in good working order, fits comfortably and securely (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 keep in mind that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of what to choose, try out some different models at your local store.
