Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are the multifunctional, versatile allies of parents and caregivers. They are the co-pilots of your child's new journey.

A pram for newborns is a special stroller designed for babies and newborns. It is a solid, deep carrycot that is soft, safe walls.

A pram is equipped with a bassinet. However, it can be converted into a lightweight stroller once the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure while traveling. The basic requirements for any stroller or pram are a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a strap for the crotch) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is up to the standards before you buy.

Find a stroller that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways open. Most prams are able to be used right from the time of birth. They have seats that recline into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension on a pram is important because it affects how smooth the ride is. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will cost more however, it's worth the extra expense when you intend to use your pram each day for a few years or more.

It is important to make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and examine the warning labels for your stroller or pram. Also, ensure that your stroller is placed in a safe location away from bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it is not being used. It is also a good idea to take any bags or other items from the handles since they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They can get wriggling and become trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child could be injured. It's also not recommended to hang bags or other things from the handles because they can fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option of lying flat as this aids in lung and back development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your baby and is able to be removed from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lay flat, but provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams come with a separate seat or bassinet for a newborn. This lets you effortlessly switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. This is often referred to as a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally pushchair with car seat padding) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body securely. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are easy to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not - it's great to watch your child and helping them feel secure by the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with an awesome raise and lower feature that can bring your baby close to your face with the push of a button, which our parent testers absolutely loved! This is an excellent way to keep connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you're looking for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

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

It's important to note that some strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems which allows you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily move your baby between the car and the double pushchair without having to get them up. These can be useful when you live a busy schedule or don't have the big enough boot for a pram capsule, although it is worth bearing in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can change them from car capsule to 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, which can lower to allow your baby to glide towards you with the push of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Also, ensure that your baby's pram with car seat has a sturdy base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is in good working order, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although be aware that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're unsure of which model to go with, try some different models at your local store.
