Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multi-functional, flexible allies of parents and caregivers. They are the co-pilots for your child's journey.

A pram newborn is designed for newborns and babies. It has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns should be protected to the greatest extent possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller are a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a strap for the crotch) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person pushing the pram. Be sure that the model you are considering is up to the standards before purchasing.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position is supportive for your baby and helps prevent the development of a risky curvature in their spine that could cause problems with their spine. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways open. Most prams that can be used from birth will include an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram with lots of suspension is likely to cost more but it might be worth the cost of this feature if you intend to use your pram daily for a couple of years or longer.

Always take the time to go through the instruction manual and look over the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not in use, you should park your pram away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is also a good idea to remove any bags or objects off the handles, as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even die.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can wriggle and become stuck or the pram might be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles isn't an ideal idea since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, because it helps improve lung and back development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cozy nest-like space for your baby and can be easily removed from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lay flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. This is often described as a "travel system and is the first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Choose a lightweight stroller that has two shoulder straps, ideally padded and a five-point security harness. It must fit your child's body comfortably. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable to use, particularly for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not. It's ideal to watch your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Our parent testers enjoyed the features of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me which lets you raise your baby at the touch of a button. This is a fantastic way to maintain eye contact with your baby and keep in contact, particularly when they're sleeping. If you are searching for a travel system prams system 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 crucial to think about the needs of your baby's transportation. Some sale prams have a bassinet, carrycot or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It's also a good idea to take a look at the other accessories the pram has, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel stroller systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. This is a great option when you live a busy lifestyle or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate prams, however it's important to keep in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature to look out for is the possibility of raising and lowering your infant's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found was very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your baby to glide into your arms by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it up easily and make sure the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should be able store bags for changing and shopping underneath the pram (but remember that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check different models at your local store.
