Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A stroller newborn or pram must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Verify that the stroller you choose meets these standards.

Find a stroller that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used right from the time of birth. They have seats that recline to lay flat for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it rides. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will cost more, but it is worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or longer.

Always make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not using it, keep your stroller away from any potential hazards like bicycles, traffic or other people. You should also remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they could cause your baby to get caught or choke.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could wriggle into the pram and get stuck, or roll away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items on the handles isn't a good thing since they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option of lying flat, as it aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your baby and is able to be removed from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but offer the comfort of your child.

Some prams also have an additional bassinet, infant inset or stroller seat so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes according to your baby's needs. This is often described as a "compact travel stroller system" and is the first option to try out with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your bub'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, particularly for older children. You should also consider if you'd like an adult-facing pram. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure seeing their parents.

Some prams pushchairs, such as the Graco Near2Me, have a nifty raise and lower feature that allows your baby to come up to your face at the push of a button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a fantastic method of keeping eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleepy. If you are seeking an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick you won't have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's needs for transport. Some prams come with a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to be laid flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline into a flat position. It is also important to know the other accessories that are included in the pram, for instance the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can transfer your baby from the car to the pram without waking them up. These are useful for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the sufficient space for prams, however it is worth bearing in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can change between the car seat pram capsule and pram.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering the infant'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 allows your child to 'glide closer to you at the touch of the button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it up easily and make sure the safety harness is functional and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should be able to store bags for changing and shopping beneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're unsure what to choose, try various models at your local retailer.
