Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is designed for newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and should be protected as much as possible. Buying a pram or stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure during travel. A stroller or pram must have a break that works, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that your chosen pram is up to the standards before purchasing.

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

The suspension of prams is vital as it will affect how smooth the ride. A pram that has many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it may be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a couple of years or more.

It is important to take the time to go through the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your stroller or pram. When not using it, park your pram away from dangers like traffic, bicycles or other people. You should also remove any bags or other items from the handles, since they can cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's never an ideal idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They can wriggle and become stuck or the pram might roll away and they might be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles isn't an ideal idea as they can fall and strike your child on the head.

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 cosy nest-like atmosphere for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

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

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a 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 easy to use - especially for older children. You should also consider if you'd like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is great to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower feature that allows your baby to come up to your face at the push of an button, which our parents testers loved! This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're looking to purchase a travel system, be sure the frame's compatibility with your chosen car capsule and this will prevent you from having to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams come with carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is also a good idea to check out the other accessories the pram comes with, such as the footmuff and changing bag which are essential to keep your baby warm in the colder winter months.

It's worth noting that certain prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These are useful when you live a busy lifestyle or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate prams, however it's worth keeping in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a great feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to glide up' to you with the press of an button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able to store bags for shopping and changing under the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which to choose, test different models at your local store.
