Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can depend on prams and pushchairs prams pushchairs to be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots on the new journey of your child.

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

A pram typically comes with a bassinet. However, it can be converted to a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and should be protected as much as you can. Buying a pram or stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure while traveling. The essential requirements for any stroller or pram are a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps and an crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Be sure that the model you are considering meets these standards before you buy.

Find a stroller that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports your baby and avoids the development of a risky 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 sale prams that are used from birth will include an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram mode for younger babies and then transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram is crucial because it can affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram with lots of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it might be worth paying for this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a few years or more.

Always read the instructions and look at the warning labels on your pram or stroller. Also, ensure that your stroller is placed in a safe location away from traffic, bicycles or any other dangers when it's not being used. It is also a good idea to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left alone with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They may squirm into the pram and become trapped, or be pushed away and cause injuries. It's not a good idea to hang bags or other items off the handles as they can fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option of lying flat, as this promotes lung and back development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a warm nest-like space for your infant and is able to be removed from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat on the egg2, don't recline completely flat, but offer a comfortable ride for your child.

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

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose where fingers could become trapped and that the buckles are easy to use, especially for older children. It is also important to consider if you'd like an adult-facing pram. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child and makes them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower feature that can bring your baby close to your face with the push of an button, which our parent testers absolutely loved! This is a fantastic method to keep eye contact with your baby and keep in contact, particularly when they're asleep. If you're searching for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you select, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's needs for transport. Some prams have an infant bassinet, carrycot or a seat that can recline to a flat position. This is crucial for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It's also a good idea to check out the other accessories the pram comes with like a changing bag and footmuff which are essential to keep your baby warm during colder weather.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily move your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to get them up. This is a great option when you live a busy life or don't have a big enough boot for pram capsules, but it's important to keep in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can change them from car seat pram capsule to pram.

Our tester's mother 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 that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing 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 are able to handle potholes and bumps. Ensure 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 is adjustable as your child grows. You should be able to store shopping bags and changing bags underneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which one to pick, check various models at the local store.
