Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller for infants and newborns. It is a sturdy, deep carrycot and soft walls and safe.

A pram typically comes with a bassinet. However, it can be transformed into a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns should be protected as much as possible. Purchasing a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure while traveling. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is up to the standards before you purchase.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to travel in the recommended position of lying flat. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways open. Most prams that are used from birth will include an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram mode for younger babies and then convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smoothly it rides. A pram with lots of spring suspension will be more expensive, but it is worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your toddler stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your stroller is parked in a safe location away from traffic, bicycles or any other potential hazards when it's not being used. It is also a good idea to take any bags or other items from the handles since they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They could wriggle into the stroller and become stuck, or slide away and cause injury. It is also not recommended to hang bags or other objects off the handles as they can fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a necessity for babies, since it aids in better back and lung development. Carrycots or cocoons are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lay flat, but offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

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

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a five-point safety harness that fits your child's body securely. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas where fingers could get trapped and that the buckles are comfortable to use, particularly for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram that faces the parent or not. It's perfect for keeping an eye on your little one and helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower feature that allows your baby to come close to your face with the touch of a button, which our parent testers loved! This is an excellent way to keep connected to your baby, particularly if they are asleep. If you are seeking an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you select you won't have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

It is crucial to consider the needs of your baby's transportation when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams include the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allow your baby to lay flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline into a flat position. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, like a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it's cold.

It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule with the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily move your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to awake them. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you don't have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a pram. However, it is important to be aware that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit up by themselves before you can change them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering the infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our tester for parents found very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to 'glide closer to you at the touch of an button.

You should be able to put shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath. You will also be able to store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although remember that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which to choose, test different models at your local store.
