Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are the multi-functional, flexible partners of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots of your child's journey.

A pram newborn is designed for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

A pram is equipped with a bassinet, however it can be converted to a stroller when the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. A stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. The most essential requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and the crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that your chosen pram for newborn is up to the standards before purchasing.

Find a stroller that allows your infant to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which can cause spinal problems. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by ensuring that the airways are free. Most prams can be used as early as the moment of birth. They have an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants. It can also be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with a lot of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it might be worth paying for this feature if you are planning on using your pram everyday for a few years or more.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your babiie stroller or pram. When not in use, you should park your pram away from dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to be trapped or even suffocate.

A stroller or pram double should not be left alone with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They may squirm into the stroller and become trapped, or slide away and cause injury. Hanging bags or other objects from the handles isn't a good thing since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cozy nest-like space for your infant and can be easily detached from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat don't recline to lie flat, but provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams also have an additional bassinet, infant stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's needs. This is sometimes described as a "travel system" and is the first setup you should test out with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two straps for the shoulder that are ideally padded and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body perfectly. Be sure to check for gaps or areas, where fingers could get caught. Also, make sure that the buckles are safe for older children to use. 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 seeing their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of certain prams such as the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby at the touch of a button. This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, especially when they're asleep. If you're looking to purchase an appropriate travel system, be sure to check whether the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule, as this will save 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 come with carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that can recline to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. You should also check what other accessories are included in the pram, like a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm in the event of cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair without waking them up. These are useful if your lifestyle is busy or you don't have enough space your car boot to fit the pram. However, it is important to be aware that you'll need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit on their own before you convert them from a car capsule to the pushchair pram.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a fantastic feature. One good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your child to 'glide into your arms by pressing a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (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 inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which model to go with, try out a variety of models at the local retailer.
