Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is a special stroller designed for babies and newborns. It comes with a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls and safe.

A pram is equipped with a bassinet, but it can be converted into a stroller if the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and need to be kept as secure as you can. A pram or triple stroller that has safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A stroller or pram should have a break that works and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Check that the pram you select meets these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports your baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used as early as the moment of birth. They come with an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants. It can also be converted to a running pushchair for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it might be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a couple of years or longer.

You should always be sure to go through the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your twin stroller or pram. When not in use, park your pram away from dangers like traffic, bicycles or other people. It is important to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even die.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not an ideal idea to leave a pram or double stroller unattended. They can get wriggling and become trapped or the pram could slide away and the baby might be injured. Hanging bags or other objects from the handles is not a good thing as they can fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a necessity for babies, as it promotes better lung and back development. Many prams Pushchairs Prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cosy nest-like space for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams have a separate seat or bassinet for the newborn. This allows you to effortlessly switch between sitting and sleeping positions based on what your baby needs. It is commonly described as a "travel system and is the very first thing you should do with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two straps for the shoulder, ideally padded and a five-point security harness. It should fit your baby's body perfectly. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or loose areas where fingers could get trapped and that the buckles are comfortable to use - especially for older children. You should also think about if you would like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is great to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have an awesome raise and lower feature that can bring your baby close to your face with the push of a button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a fantastic method to keep eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're looking for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you select it is not necessary to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

It is essential to consider your baby's transportation needs when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams have an infant bassinet, carrycot or a seat that can recline to an upright position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is also a good idea to check out the other accessories are included in the pram like 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 transformed into travel systems allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors, so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. This is a great option if you have a busy schedule or don't have the large enough car boot to accommodate pram capsules, but it's worth keeping 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 you may want to consider is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found was really useful with her 10-month-old boy! One good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can lower to allow your child to 'glide into your arms at the press of an button and maintain constant eye contact.

Also, ensure that your newborn pram has a solid base and wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness is in good working order, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than 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 loading the twin pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to go with, try out a variety of models at your local store.
