Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is a special stroller designed for babies and newborns. It comes with a sturdy, deep carrycot with soft walls that are safe and secure.

A pram is typically equipped with a bassinet, but it can be converted to a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be protected as much as possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. The most essential requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps and a Crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is up to the standards before purchasing.

Find a pram that allows your baby to travel 3 in one pushchair the recommended lying-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will come with an infant seat that can recline to a lay-flat pram mode for infants and convert into a foldable pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it could be worth paying for this feature if you plan on using your pram everyday for a few years or more.

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your pram or stroller newborn. When not using it, keep your stroller away from potential dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is also important to remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become caught or choke.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's never an ideal idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could wiggle and get trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags or other objects on the handles isn't a good thing since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies are able to lie flat, as it aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat on egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but they provide a comfortable ride for your child.

Some prams also have a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's requirements. This is sometimes called a "travel system" and is the first setup you should test out with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps that are ideally padded and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body comfortably. Check that there are no gaps or places where fingers could become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are safe for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not - it's perfect to keep an eye on your child and helping them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower function that allows your baby to come close to your face with the touch of the button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your baby and keep in contact, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're looking for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you select you won't have to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

It is essential to take into account the needs of your baby's transportation when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams include carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It's also a good idea to check out the other accessories the pram comes with like a changing bag and footmuff which are essential to keep your baby warm during colder weather.

It's also worth noting that some strollers and prams can be transformed into compact travel stroller systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule with the frame via adaptors so that you can easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These are useful for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a big enough boot for prams, however it's important to keep in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can change them from car seat pram capsule to pram.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our tester for parents found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which lets your child 'glide closer to you at the press of an button.

Also, ensure that your newborn pram has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down with ease and make sure the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able store bags for shopping and changing under the pram (but remember that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which model to choose, try out a variety of models at your local retailer.
