Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can rely on pushchairs and prams to be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots of your child's next adventure.

A newborn pram 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 it can be transformed into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and should be protected as much as is possible. Purchasing a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. A stroller or pram must have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a stroller that allows your infant to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position is supportive for your baby and avoids the risk of a dangerous curve in their spine which could lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will include an infant seat that can recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and transform into a compact pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram that has lots of suspension is likely to be more costly but it might be worth paying for this feature if you intend to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

Always be sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a secure location away from bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it's not being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram sale should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may slide away and the baby could be injured. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other things off the handles as they may fall and strike your baby's 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 cocoons or carrycots that creates a cozy nest-like space for your infant and can be easily removed from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, don't recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also feature an additional bassinet, infant stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's needs. This is often described as a "travel system and is the first thing you should do with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two straps for the shoulder, ideally padded and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body perfectly. Be sure to check for gaps or loose areas, where fingers could get caught. Also, ensure that the buckles are simple for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's great for keeping an eye on your child, and also helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams for newborns, like the Graco Near2Me, come with an awesome raise and lower feature that brings your baby close to your face with the touch of a button, which our parents testers loved! This is a fantastic method to keep eye contact with your baby, and stay in contact, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're looking to purchase an appropriate travel system, be sure to check the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule to avoid the need to wake them up every time you're changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

It is essential to consider your baby's needs for transportation when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams include a carrycot or bassinet, that allows your baby to lay flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have seats that recline to a lying-flat position. It is important to check out the other accessories the pram comes with, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during the colder winter months.

It's important to note that some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors so that you can transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to awake them. These are great if your lifestyle is busy or you don't have enough space in your car boot to fit the pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit independently before you convert them from a car capsule into pushchair twin.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can be lowered to allow your baby to glide towards you with the push of an button and maintain constant eye contact.

You should also be able to store bags for shopping and changing in the basket beneath. You should be able store bags for changing and shopping underneath the pram set (but be aware that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're unsure what to choose, try out some different models at your local store.
