Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile companions 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 a deep, sturdy carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. Purchasing a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure during travel. The 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 an crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Make sure the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a stroller that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used right from the time of birth. They come with seats that recline to lay flat for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram is important because it can affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it could be worth the cost of this feature if you intend to use your pram every day for a couple of years or more.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not in use, keep your stroller away from dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other objects from the handles, as they can cause your baby to get caught or choke.

A stroller or pram should not be left alone with a baby in it even if they're asleep. They could wiggle and get stuck or the pram might roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles is not recommended since they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns are able to lie flat, as it aids in lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are found on many prams. They create a cozy environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on the 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 stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's requirements. It is often described as a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two straps for the shoulder, ideally padded, and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body snugly. Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose where fingers could get trapped, and that the buckles are easy to use - especially for older children. It is also important to consider whether you want an adult-facing pram. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child and makes them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have a nifty raise and lower feature that can bring your baby up to your face at the push of an button, which our parents testers loved! This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're looking for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams include a carrycot or bassinet, that allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to check the other accessories included in the pram, for instance a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

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

Another feature you may want to look out for is the ability to raise and lower the infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One good example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your child to 'glide' up to you with the push of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is in good working order, fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store bags for changing and shopping underneath the pram (but remember that too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what to choose, try different models at the local store.
