Buying a Pram Newborn

prams for newborns and pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile partners of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots for 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 pram typically comes with a bassinet, but it can be converted to a stroller seat when baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be kept as safe as possible. Buying a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe during their travels. A pram or stroller must include a break that is working and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Make sure that the pram you choose is up to the standards before you buy.

Look for a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports your baby and prevents a dangerous spinal curve which could lead to problems with their spine. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways clear. Most prams that are used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and transform into a pushchair with car seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the twin pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more costly but it could be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a few years or more.

You should always be sure to read the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. When not in use, park your pram away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other items from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become caught or choke.

A pram or stroller should not be left unattended with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They could wiggle and get stuck or the pram might roll away and they could be injured. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects from the handles because they can fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a essential for infants because it helps improve lung and back development. Cocoons or carrycots are found on many prams. They create a cozy environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lay flat but still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's needs. This is often described as a "travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Make sure there aren't any gaps or loose places where fingers could become trapped. Also make sure the buckles are safe for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not. It's perfect to keep an eye on your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a handy raise and lower function that brings your baby up to your face at the touch of the button, which our parent testers absolutely loved! This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, especially when they are sleeping. If you're in the market for an appropriate compact travel pram system, be sure to check the frame's compatibility with your chosen car capsule to avoid the need to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams include a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline into a flat position. It's important to check out the other accessories the pram comes with like a changing bag and footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder weather.

Some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors, meaning you can transfer your child from the car to the pram without waking them. This is a great option if you have a busy life or don't have a big enough boot for a pram capsule, although it's important to keep in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

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

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness is in good working order that fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can 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 topple over). If you're not sure what model to go with, try out a few different models at your local store.
