Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is dedicated to newborns and babies. It has a deep, sturdy carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and must be kept as safe as possible. Buying a stroller travel or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure while traveling. The essential requirements for any pram or compact stroller 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. Make sure the pram you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the position recommended for lying flat. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will come with a seat unit that will recline into a lie-flat pram position for younger babies and then transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension on a pram is important because it can affect how smooth the ride is. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will cost more however it is worth the extra cost when you intend to use your pram each day for a few years or longer.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, park your pram away from dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other items from the handles as they can cause your baby to become caught or choke.

A pram or stroller should not be left unattended with a child in it even if they're asleep. They could get squirming into the pram and become trapped, or be pushed away and cause injuries. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles is not a good thing because they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, since it aids in better lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on a variety of prams. They create a cozy environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but they provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams also have a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby Accessories's requirements. This is often referred to as a 'travel system' and is the first thing you should do with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are simple to use - especially for older children. You should also consider whether you want a parent-facing pram. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure by having their parents around.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, come with a handy raise and lower function that brings your baby right up to your face at the touch of the button, which our parents testers really loved! This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, especially if they are sleeping. If you are looking 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 pram and the car.

Convenience

It is essential to take into account your baby's transportation needs when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams come with a bassinet or carrycot, which allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have seats that can recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to check the other accessories included in the pram pushchair, for instance a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it's cold.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to awake them. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate the pram. However, it is important to be aware that you'll need to wait until your child is old enough to sit independently before you transform them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Another feature to look out for is the possibility of raising and lowering the 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 facing pushchair tester found very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to glide up' to you with the push of a button.

Finally, make sure your newborn pram has a solid base and wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness is in good working order and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store bags for changing and shopping under the pram (but be aware that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you are unsure of what to choose, try out some different models at the local store.
