Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile companions of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots in the journey of your child.

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller for infants and newborns. It has a sturdy, deep carrycot with soft walls that are safe and secure.

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller or pram must have a break that works and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Verify that the stroller you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports your baby and avoids a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal issues. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways clear. The majority of prams that can be used from birth will come with 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 will determine how smoothly it runs. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will be more expensive however, it's worth the extra cost when you intend to use your pram every day for a couple of years or more.

It is important to make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your pram is parked in a secure location free of bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it isn't being used. It is recommended to remove any bags or items from the handles since they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not an ideal idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can wriggle and become trapped or the pram could roll away and they could be injured. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other things off the handles as they can fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute essential for infants as it promotes better back and lung development. Cocoons or carrycots are available on a variety of prams. They create a cozy environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, don't recline completely flat, but provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams come with an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's requirements. This is sometimes referred to as a "travel system" and is the first configuration that you should try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas where fingers could become trapped, and that the buckles are simple to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not - it's great for keeping an eye on your little one and helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have a handy raise and lower feature that brings your baby close to your face with the touch of a button, which our parent testers loved! This is an excellent method of keeping connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you are seeking a best travel stroller system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

It is crucial to consider your baby's needs for transportation when buying a newborn pram. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is important to check out the other accessories the pram has like an infant changing bag push chairs and prams a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

Some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your baby from the car to the pram without waking them. These can be useful for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the sufficient space 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 independently before you can change between the car capsule and double pram and pushchair.

Another feature you may want to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was very useful for her 10-month old boy! One good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your child to 'glide into your arms at the press of an button and maintain constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your newborn pram has a solid base and wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it up easily and ensure that the safety harness is functional, 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 shopping and changing under the pram (but keep in mind that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're unsure which to choose, test out some different models at your local store.
