Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

A running pram is equipped with a bassinet. However, it can also be converted into a stroller once the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns should be protected as much as is possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller are a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and an crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap 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 pushchairs travel systems in the recommended lying-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. It also lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways open. The majority of prams can be used from the moment of birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat mode for younger infants and converts into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will cost more however, it's worth the extra cost if you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

You should always be sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and examine the warning labels for your stroller or pram. When not using it, place your stroller in a safe area away from any potential hazards like bicycles, traffic or other people. You should also remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They could wiggle and get stuck or the pram might be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles is not recommended since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option of lying flat, as it aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are found on many prams. They create a nest-like space that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also have an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's needs. It is commonly called a 'travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body safely. Make sure there are no gaps or areas that are loose where fingers could get trapped, and that the buckles are simple to use, especially for older children. It is also important to think about if you would like an adult-facing pram. It is great to keep an eye on your child and makes them feel more secure seeing their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of certain prams like the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby at the touch of one button. This is an excellent way to keep connected to your baby, especially if they're sleeping. If you're looking 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 every time you're changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

It is crucial to take into account the needs of your baby's transportation when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams come with carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

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 so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair twin without having to get them up. These are useful if your lifestyle is busy or you don't have enough space your car's boot to accommodate the pram. However, you should be aware that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit up by themselves before you can change them from a car capsule into pushchair.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to 'glide towards you at the touch of a button.

Make sure that your newborn pram has a solid base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should also be able 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 which to choose, test various models at the local store.
