Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs travel systems are the multi-functional, flexible companions of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots for your child's journey.

A pram newborn is a must for newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns must be protected as much as possible. A stroller or pram with safety features will keep your baby in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A pram or stroller must include a break that is working and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams pushchairs prams can be used from the moment of the moment of birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat position for younger infants and converts into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram with many spring suspensions will cost more however it is worth the extra expense when you intend to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

Always be sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your stroller is placed in a secure location away from traffic, bicycles or any other dangers when it isn't being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other objects from the handles, since they can cause your baby to get caught or choke.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's never an ideal idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles isn't recommended since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option of lying flat, as this promotes lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cosy nest-like atmosphere for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket style seat don't recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also have an extra bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's needs. This is often referred to as a "travel system" and is the initial option to try out with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are simple to use, especially for older children. Also, think about if you would like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child, and makes them feel more secure seeing their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, come with a nifty raise and lower function that allows your baby to come close to your face with the push of the button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a great way to stay in touch with your baby, especially if they are asleep. If you are searching for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you choose, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams include an infant bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is crucial for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the pram, for instance the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them. This is a great option when you live a busy lifestyle or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate pram capsules, but it's worth keeping in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature you may want to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to 'glide up' to you with the push of an button.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (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 in the basket underneath (although be aware that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what to choose, try out some different models at your local store.
