Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

A pram is equipped with a bassinet, however it can be converted into a stroller if the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns must be protected to the greatest extent possible. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable during travel. The basic requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps, and an crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is in compliance with these requirements before you purchase.

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

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram with a lot of suspension is likely to cost more but it might be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or longer.

You should always take the time to go through the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it is not being used. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles as they could cause your baby to get caught or choke.

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

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute essential for infants as it promotes better lung and back development. Many prams have cocoons or carrycots that creates a warm nest-like space for your newborn and is able to be removed from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams also feature 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 called a 'travel system and is the very first option you should test with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Make sure there aren't any gaps or areas where fingers can get caught. Also, ensure that the buckles are simple for older children to use. You should also think about if you would like an adult-facing pram. It is great for keeping an ear on your child, and makes them feel more secure by being able to see their parents.

Our parent testers loved the feature of certain prams like the Graco Near2Me that allows you to raise your baby by pressing a button. This is an excellent way to keep connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you're looking to purchase a travel system, make sure to check whether the frame is compatible with your car capsule, as this will save you having to wake them up every time you're changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams include carrycots, a bassinet or seat that reclines to a flat position. This is important to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is also important to know the other accessories included in the pram, like the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a pushchair car seat pod to a frame with adaptors so that you can transfer your baby from the car to the triple pushchair without waking them up. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate the pram. But, you must be aware that you will need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit up by themselves before you can convert them from a car capsule into the folding pushchair.

Our parent tester discovered 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, which allows your child to 'glide towards you at the push of a button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness you use is safe, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able to store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although remember that putting on too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure of which model to choose, try out a variety of models at your local store.
