Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are the multi-functional, multi-purpose partners of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots of the new adventure of your child.

A pram for newborns is designed for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns should be protected to the greatest extent possible. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A pram or stroller must include a break that is working and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Make sure that the running pram you choose meets these standards before you purchase.

Find a stroller that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position helps your baby and prevents the development of a risky curvature in their spine that can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of best prams that can be used from birth will come with an infant seat that can recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram that has many spring suspensions will be more expensive however it is worth the extra cost if you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the directions and carefully read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, place your stroller in a safe area away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other items from the handles, as they could cause your baby to become caught or choke.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's not recommended to leave a pram for newborn (actstraw41.Bravejournal.net) or stroller unattended. They can wriggle and become trapped or the pram could be thrown away and the child could be injured. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects from the handles because they could fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies are able to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cosy nest-like atmosphere for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat don't recline to lie flat, but they 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 switch between sleeping and sitting modes depending on your bub's needs. This is often called a "travel system" and is the initial option to try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body securely. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are easy to use - especially for older children. It is also important to consider if you'd like a parent-facing pram. It is great for keeping an ear on your child and makes them feel more secure by having their parents around.

Our parent testers loved the feature of some prams like the Graco Near2Me, which lets you raise your baby at the touch of the button. This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your baby and keep in contact, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're in the market for a travel system, make sure the frame is compatible with your car capsule to avoid the need to wake them up when changing between pram bag, car and back again.

Convenience

When purchasing a newborn pram, it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline into a flat position. It is important to check out the other accessories the pram comes with, such as a changing bag and footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder weather.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors, meaning you can move your child from the car to the pram without disturbing them. These are great when you have a busy schedule or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a pram. However, it is important to be aware that you will need to wait until your child is old enough to sit by themselves before you can convert them from a car capsule into a pushchair.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a great feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me that allows your child to glide up' to you with the touch of an button.

Make sure that your baby's pram has a solid base and wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness is in good working order that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able store shopping bags and changing bags underneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of which to choose, test different models at the local store.
