Safety

Newborns must be protected as much as is possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable while traveling.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option to lie flat as this aids in 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 can be easily detached from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat don't recline to lie flat, but they still provide a comfy ride for your baby.

It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's perfect to watch your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiar sight of their parents.

Convenience

It is essential to consider your baby's transportation needs when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams have a carrycot or bassinet, which allows your baby to lay flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that recline to a lying-flat position.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a wonderful feature. An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me, which can be lowered to allow your baby to glide' up to you at the press of a button and stay in constant eye contact.
