Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are the multi-functional, flexible allies of parents and caregivers. They are the co-pilots for your child's next adventure.

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

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

Safety

Newborns must be protected to the greatest extent possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe during their travels. The basic requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps, and a Crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is in compliance with these requirements before you purchase.

Find a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for your baby and prevents the development of a risky spinal curve that could cause problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will have an infant seat that can recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more costly but it might be worth the cost of this feature if you are planning on using your pram everyday for a few years or longer.

Always make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. It is also important to ensure that your pram is parked in a safe spot away from bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a child in it even if they are asleep. They could wriggle into the stroller and become stuck, or slide away and cause injury. It's also not recommended to hang bags or other things from the handles because they could fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a must for newborns, since it aids in better back and lung development. Carrycots or cocoons are found on many prams. They create a cozy environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but offer the comfort of your child.

Some prams pushchairs have an additional bassinet or seat for infants. This lets you easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. This is often described as a "travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Find a double pram and pushchair that has two shoulder straps, ideally padded and a five-point security harness. It must fit your child's body comfortably. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are simple to use, particularly for older children. You should also consider whether you want a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child, and makes them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

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

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's needs for transport. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's spinal development and breathing. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame using adaptors, so you can move your child from the car to the pushchair without waking them up. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car boot to fit the pram. However, it is important to keep in mind that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit independently before you transform them from a car capsule to pushchair pram.

Our parent tester discovered that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a wonderful feature. A good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can be lowered to allow your baby to glide towards you at the press of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Also, ensure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down easily and ensure that the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able keep changing and shopping bags in the basket underneath (although be aware that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to choose, try out a variety of models at your local retailer.
