Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can rely on prams and pushchairs that can be multi-functional and versatile. They're the co-pilots in the journey of your child.

A newborn pram is dedicated to newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

A pram will typically come with a bassinet but can be transformed into a stroller seat when baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns must be protected as much as possible. A pram or stroller with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and the crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose meets these standards before purchasing.

Find a stroller that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways clear. Most prams that are used from birth will have a seat unit that will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for infants and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram pushchair will determine how smoothly it is. A pram that has many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it may be worth it to purchase this feature if you are planning on using your pram everyday for a couple of years or longer.

You should always be sure to go through the instruction manual and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your stroller is placed in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it isn't 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 be trapped or even die.

A stroller or pram for newborn should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They may squirm into the pram and get trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. Hanging bags or other items on the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a necessity for babies, as it promotes better lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere for your newborn and can be easily detached from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lay flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams have a separate seat or bassinet for a newborn. This allows you to easily switch between sitting and sleeping positions based on what your baby needs. This is sometimes called a "travel system" and is the first option to try out with your baby.

Find a pram with two shoulder straps that are ideally padded and a five-point security harness. It should fit your baby's body comfortably. Check that there are no gaps, or loose places where fingers could become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are simple for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not. It's ideal for keeping an eye on your little one and helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower function that brings your baby right up to your face at the touch of the button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is an excellent way to keep connected to your baby, particularly if they are asleep. If you're looking for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you choose, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

It is crucial to take into account your baby's needs for transportation when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams come with a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline to a lie-flat position. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame using adaptors, so you can move your child from the car to the pushchair without waking them up. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you do not have enough space in your car boot to fit the pram. But, you must keep in mind that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit up on their own before you convert them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Another feature to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was really useful with her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which lets your child 'glide closer to you at the press of a button.

You should also be able to store shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath. You should also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although remember that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to choose, try out a few different models at your local store.
