Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile partners of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots in the new journey of your child.

A pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies and has the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram comes with a bassinet. However, it can be converted into a stroller when the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. Buying a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure during travel. The most essential requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a strap for the crotch) and a wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Be sure that the model you are considering is in compliance with these requirements before you buy.

Find a pram that allows your baby to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that can be used from birth will come with an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram position for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram is important because it affects the smoothness of the ride. A pram with many spring suspensions will cost more however, it's worth the extra cost if you plan to use your pram each for a while or longer.

Always read the instructions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. It is also important to ensure that your pram is parked in a safe location free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it is not being used. It is important to remove any bags or objects from the handles since they could cause your baby to be trapped or even suffocate.

A pram or stroller should not be left unattended with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They could get squirming into the stroller and become trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't a good thing since they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a essential for infants since it aids in better back and lung development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cozy, nest-like environment for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams also have an additional bassinet, infant inset or stroller seat, so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. This is often described as a "travel system" and is the initial option to try out with your newborn.

Look for a pram that has two shoulder straps that are ideally padded, and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body snugly. Check that there are no gaps or places where fingers could become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are simple for older children to operate. It is also important to think about if you would like a parent-facing pram. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure by seeing their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower function that brings your baby close to your face with the touch of the button, which our parent testers loved! This is a great method of keeping 3 in one pushchair touch with your baby, particularly if they are sleeping. If you are seeking a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick you won't have to wake your baby up to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams have a bassinet, carrycot or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is essential for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is important to check out the other accessories the pram has like a changing bag and footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder months.

It's important to note that some strollers and prams 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 having to awake them. This is a great option if you have a busy life or don't have a big enough boot for pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature you may want to consider is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our tester for parents found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your baby to glide towards you by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although remember that loading the pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure what to choose, try out some different models at your local retailer.
