Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

A pram comes with a bassinet. However, it can be converted into a stroller newborn once the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. A stroller or pram with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller or pram should have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Be sure that the model you are considering is up to the standards before purchasing.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous curve in the spine which 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 that can be used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram position for younger babies and then convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with a lot of spring suspension will be more expensive however it is worth the extra cost if you plan to use your pram each for a while or longer.

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your pram or folding stroller. When not in use, park your pram away from dangers like traffic, bicycles or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they can cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can get wriggling and become trapped or the pram could be thrown away and the child might be injured. It's not a good idea to hang bags or other objects on the handles since they could fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a necessity for babies, since it aids in better back and lung development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cozy nest-like atmosphere for your infant and can be easily detached from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, don't recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams include an additional bassinet or seat for a newborn. This allows you to easily switch between sitting and sleeping positions based on the requirements of your baby. It is often called a "compact travel pram system" and is the initial option to try out with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas where fingers could become trapped, and that the buckles are easy to use, particularly for older children. Also, think about if you would like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child and makes them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, come with an awesome raise and lower function that brings your baby up to your face at the touch of an button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is an excellent method of keeping connected to your baby, especially if they're sleeping. If you're seeking an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you choose it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams have carrycots, a bassinet or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is essential 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 to keep your baby warm in colder months.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to wake them up. These are useful if you have a busy life or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate pram capsules, but it's worth keeping in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

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

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily and ensure that the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should be able to store bags for shopping and changing beneath the pram (but keep in mind that too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of what to choose, try out some different models at the local store.
