Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multi-functional, flexible allies of parents and caregivers. They are the co-pilots of your child's next adventure.

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller for newborns and babies. It is a solid, deep carrycot that is soft, safe walls.

A pram is equipped with a bassinet, but it can also be converted into a stroller travel if the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and need to be protected as much as you can. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will keep your baby in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A pram or stroller must have a working break and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Check that your chosen pram is in compliance with these requirements before you buy.

Find a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position is supportive for your baby and helps prevent the development of a risky spinal curve that could cause problems with their spine. It reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways open. Most prams can be used right from the moment of birth. They have a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of a pram is important because it affects how smooth the ride. A pram that has lots of suspension is likely to cost more but it could be worth the cost of this feature if you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or longer.

It is important to make sure to go through the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is parked in a secure location free of bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other items from the handles, as they can cause your baby to become caught or choke.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a pram or twin stroller unattended. They could wiggle and get trapped or the pram could roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles isn't recommended because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option of lying flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on many prams. They create a nest-like environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat, but provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams come with an additional bassinet, infant inset or babiie stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes depending on your bub's requirements. This is sometimes referred to as a "travel system" and is the initial option to try out with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body safely. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas where fingers could get trapped and that the buckles are comfortable to use, particularly for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram (such a good point) or not. It's perfect to watch your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parent testers enjoyed the features of some prams like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the touch of the button. This is a fantastic method of keeping eye contact with your baby and keep in contact, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're in the market for an appropriate travel system, be sure that the frame is compatible with your car capsule to avoid you having to wake them up when changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

When you are shopping for a new baby's pram, it is essential to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams include a bassinet or carrycot, that allows your baby to be laid flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. It is important to look at what other accessories are included in the pram, such as a changing bag and footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily move your baby between the car and the pushchair newborn without having to wake them up. This is a great option for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the large enough car boot to accommodate pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Our parent tester discovered that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a fantastic feature. An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me, which can lower to allow your little one to 'glide towards you by pressing the button, and remain 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 make sure the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able to store shopping bags and changing bags beneath the pram (but be aware that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which model to pick, check out a variety of models at your local retailer.
