Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can depend on prams and pushchairs that can be versatile and multi-functional. They are the co-pilots of your child's journey.

A pram newborn is a must for newborns and babies and has a deep, sturdy carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and must be kept as safe as you can. A pram or stroller compact with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller or pram should have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that the pram you select meets these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used right from the moment of birth. They come with an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension on the pram is crucial as it will affect how smooth the ride. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it may be worth the cost of this feature if you plan to use your pram pushchair every day for a few years or longer.

You should always make sure to go through the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or cheap stroller. When not using it, park your pram away from any potential hazards like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is also a good idea to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They may squirm into the pram and get trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. It's not recommended to hang bags or other items on the handles since they could fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns are able to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams include an additional bassinet or seat for the newborn. This allows you to easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. This is sometimes referred to as a "travel system" and is the initial configuration that you should try out with your baby.

Choose a folding stroller with two straps for the shoulder, ideally padded and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body perfectly. Make sure there aren't any gaps or areas where fingers can become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are safe for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not - it's great to keep an eye on your child, and also helps them feel reassured by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have a nifty raise and lower feature that allows your baby to come close to your face with the push of an button, which our parents testers really loved! This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby and keep in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're looking for a travel system, be sure the frame's compatibility with the car capsule you've chosen to avoid you from having to wake them up while changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams have carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that can recline to a flat position. This is important for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the pram, for instance a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it's cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame with adaptors, meaning you can move your child from the car to the pram without waking them up. This is a great option when you live 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 independently before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her 10-month-old son was a fantastic feature. One good example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide towards you by pressing an button and maintain constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn 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 in good working order and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although remember that putting on too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of which to choose, test various models at your local store.
