Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs pushchairs are multi-functional, multi-purpose allies of parents and caregivers. They're the co-pilots in the new journey of your child.

A pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies. It has a deep, sturdy carrycot with soft and secure walls.

A pram is typically equipped with a bassinet. However, it can be transformed into a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and should be protected as much as is possible. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will keep your baby in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A pram or stroller must have a working break, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Be sure that the model you are considering is in compliance with these requirements before you buy.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the position recommended for lying flat. This position is supportive for your baby and avoids a dangerous curve in their spine which could lead to spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used as early as the time of birth. They have a seat unit which reclines to lay flat for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smoothly it runs. A pram with a lot of spring suspension will cost more however it is worth the extra cost in the event that you plan to use your pram each day for a few years or more.

It is important to be sure to go through the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your stroller or pram. When not in use, park your pram away from potential dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to take any bags or other items from the handles since they could cause your baby to become trapped or even die.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's never recommended to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They can wriggle and become stuck or the pram might roll away and they might be injured. It's not recommended to hang bags or other items off the handles as they can fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, because it helps improve lung and back development. A lot of best prams come with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cozy nest-like atmosphere for your infant and can be easily removed from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but offer an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams also feature a separate bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. It is commonly referred to as a 'travel system and is the very first option you should test with your newborn.

Find a pram with two straps for the shoulder which are cushioned, and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body perfectly. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose where fingers could get trapped, and that the buckles are simple to use, particularly for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not - it's perfect to keep an eye on your child, and also helps them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with a nifty raise and lower function that can bring your baby right up to your face at the touch of a button, which our parent testers loved! This is a great way to keep connected to your baby, especially if they're sleeping. If you're looking to purchase an appropriate travel system, be sure that whether the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule to avoid you from having to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a carrycot or bassinet, which allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with a seat that can recline to a lying-flat position. It is important to check what other accessories are included in the triple pram, like the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors so that you can transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These are great if your lifestyle is busy or you do not have enough space in your car boot to accommodate a pram. However, it is important to be aware that you'll need to wait until your child is old enough to sit up by themselves before you can change them from a car capsule into the pushchair.

Another feature to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering the infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our tester for parents found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me which can lower to allow your child to 'glide into your arms at the press of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point instead of 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 keep in mind that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which model to pick, check out a few different models at your local retailer.
