Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile companions of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots of the journey of your child.

A pram for newborns is designed for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and must be protected as much as possible. A stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and an Crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Check that your chosen pram is up to the standards before purchasing.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will have an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram position for infants and transform into a pushchair pram unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with many spring suspensions will be more expensive however it is worth the extra cost when you intend to use your pram every for a while or longer.

It is important to make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is placed in a secure location away from bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it isn't being used. It is recommended to take any bags or other items from the handles since they could cause your baby to be trapped or even die.

A stroller or pram should not be left alone with a baby in it, even if they are asleep. They could wiggle and get trapped or the pram could be thrown away and the child might be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles is not recommended because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cosy nest-like space for your infant and can be easily detached from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams come with an additional bassinet, infant stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's needs. It is often called a "travel system" and is the initial option to try out with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body safely. Check that there are no gaps or loose areas, where fingers could be trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are safe for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pushchair pram or not - it's perfect for keeping an eye on your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're in the market for a travel system, be sure the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule, pushchairs Prams as this will save the need to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams come with a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. You should also check the other accessories that are included in the pram, like a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

It's also worth noting that some strollers and prams can be transformed into travel pram systems which allows you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily move your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. This is a great option for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a big enough boot for pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering your infant's seat from a low to high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your child to 'glide into your arms by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.
