Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can depend on pushchairs and prams to be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots for your child's next adventure.

A pram newborn is designed for newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram will typically come with a bassinet, but it can be transformed into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and must be protected as much as you can. A pram or twin stroller with safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. The essential requirements for any stroller or pram are a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and a Crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Be sure that the model you are considering is up to the standards before you purchase.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports the baby and prevents an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and convert into a twin pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension on prams is vital because it affects how smooth the ride is. A pram sale with many spring suspensions will cost more however, it's worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram each day for a few years or longer.

Always take the time to go through the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. When not in use, keep your stroller away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to take any bags or other items from the handles as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's not recommended to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could wiggle and get trapped or the pram could slide away and the baby could be injured. Hanging bags or other objects on the handles isn't a good thing because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, because it helps improve back and lung development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your baby pram and is able to be removed from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat don't recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature a separate bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. This is often described as a "travel system and is the first option you should test with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body safely. Make sure there are no gaps or areas that are loose where fingers could get trapped and that the buckles are easy to use, particularly for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram that faces the parent or not. It's great to keep an eye on your child and helping them feel secure by the familiarity of their parents.

Our parents who tested the product enjoyed the features of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me which lets you raise your baby and lower it at the push of one button. This is a great method of keeping in touch with your baby, especially when they are sleeping. If you're searching for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick it is not necessary to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that can recline to a flat position. This is essential to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. You should also check what other accessories are included in the pram, such as the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it's 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 disturbing them. These are great for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car boot to accommodate the pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit up independently before you convert them from a car capsule into pushchair.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our tester for parents found very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your child to 'glide towards you at the press of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down with ease and make sure the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You will also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that loading the running pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which model to pick, check some different models at your local store.
