Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile companions of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots for your child's next adventure.

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller for infants and newborns. It has a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls that are safe and secure.

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

Safety

Newborns should be protected as much as is possible. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. The essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and the Crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person pushing the pram. Verify that the stroller you choose meets these standards.

Look for a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position helps your baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in their spine that can lead to spinal issues. 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 come with the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a folding pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of prams is vital as it will affect how smooth the ride is. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more costly but it could be worth the cost of this feature if you plan on using your pram everyday for a couple of years or longer.

You should always make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and check the warning labels for your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your pram is parked in a safe spot away from bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it is not being used. Also, you should remove any bags or other objects from the handles, as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's not an ideal idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They may squirm into the double pram pushchair and get trapped, or slide away and cause injury. Hanging bags or other items on the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a must for newborns, since it aids in better lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on a variety of good prams. They create a nest-like space that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but offer an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams come with a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's requirements. This is sometimes described as a "travel system" and is the initial configuration that you should try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas where fingers could get trapped, and that the buckles are simple to use, especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not - it's ideal to watch your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have an awesome raise and lower function that can bring your baby close to your face with the touch of an button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a fantastic method of keeping eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleepy. If you are looking for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

It is essential to take into account your baby's needs for transportation when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams include an infant bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is important to check what other accessories are 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 an auto pod to the frame with adaptors, meaning you can transfer your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them. These are great when you have a busy schedule or you don't have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate the pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit by themselves before you can convert them from a car capsule into a pushchair.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a great feature. An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me, which can lower to allow your child to 'glide towards you at the press of an button and maintain constant eye contact.

Also, ensure that your newborn pram has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it up easily and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe, fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store bags for shopping and changing under the pram (but be aware that excessive weight could cause it to tip over). If you're unsure what to choose, try out some different models at the local store.
