Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can depend on prams and pushchairs that can be multi-functional and versatile. 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 with soft and secure walls.

A pram comes with a bassinet, however it can be converted to a stroller when the baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be protected as much as you can. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure during travel. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a Crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person pushing the pram. Be sure that the model you are considering is in compliance with these requirements before you buy.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways open. The majority of prams that can be used from birth will come with the seat unit, which will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

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

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your triple pram or cheap stroller. Also, ensure that your stroller is parked in a safe spot away from bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it is not being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They may squirm into the pram and become stuck, or be pushed away and cause injuries. Hanging bags or other items on the handles isn't recommended because they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns are able to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on a variety of prams. They create a cozy environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat on the egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but they provide a comfortable ride for your child.

Some prams also have a separate bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes according to your baby's requirements. It is commonly called a 'travel system' and is the first thing you should do with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps which are cushioned and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body perfectly. Be sure to check for gaps or loose areas, where fingers could become trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are safe for older children to use. It is also important to consider if you'd like an adult-facing pram. It is great for keeping an ear on your child, and makes them feel more secure having their parents around.

Our parent testers loved the feature of some prams like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the touch of one button. This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're in the market for an appropriate travel system, be sure the frame's compatibility with the car capsule you've chosen to avoid you having to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams for newborns include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is essential for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is important to check out the other accessories are included in the pram, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during the colder winter months.

It's worth noting that certain prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors, so that you can easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to awake them. This is a great option when you live a busy schedule or don't have the large enough car boot to accommodate a pram capsule, although it's important to keep in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature you may want to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our tester for parents found very useful for her 10-month old boy! An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me, which can lower to allow your child to 'glide' up to you by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you are able to fold it down with ease and make sure the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You will also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of which one to pick, check various models at your local retailer.
