Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs prams are the multi-functional, flexible companions of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots in the new adventure of your child.

A pram newborn is a must for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and must be kept as safe as is possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and safe during their travels. The most essential requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and an Crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that your chosen pram meets these standards before purchasing.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position is supportive for your baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that could cause problems with their spine. It reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways clear. Most prams that are used from birth will include a seat unit that will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram with lots of spring suspension will be more expensive, but it is worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram each for a while or longer.

Always be sure to read the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or stroller. Also, ensure that your stroller is parked in a secure location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it is not being used. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby in it, even if they are asleep. They could wriggle into the stroller and become trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. It's not recommended to hang bags or other things off the handles as they could fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option of lying flat, as this promotes lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cosy nest-like space for your infant and can be easily removed from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat, but provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes according to your baby's needs. This is often referred to as a "travel system" and is the first setup you should test out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose where fingers could become trapped and that the buckles are simple to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not - it's ideal to watch your child, and also helps them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Our testers with parents enjoyed the features of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me that allows you to raise your baby by pressing a button. This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, particularly if they are asleep. If you're looking for a travel system, make sure to check the frame's compatibility with your chosen car capsule and this will prevent you having to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a carrycot or bassinet, which allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to take a look at the other accessories the pram comes with like a changing bag and footmuff that are essential to keep your baby warm in colder weather.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be transformed into pushchairs travel systems systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair sale without needing to get them up. These are useful if you have a busy schedule or don't have the big enough boot for prams, however it's worth keeping in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature you may want to consider is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your baby to glide into your arms with the push of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that are able to handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should be able to store shopping bags and changing bags under the pram (but keep in mind that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check different models at the local store.
