Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

A pram typically comes with a bassinet, but it can be converted into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns must be protected to the greatest extent possible. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure during travel. A stroller or pram should include a break that is working and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Check that your chosen pram is in compliance with these requirements before purchasing.

Find a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams can be used from the moment of birth. They have an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants. It can also be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram that has many suspensions is likely to cost more but it could be worth the cost of this feature if you are planning to use your pram daily for a couple of years or more.

Always read the directions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, park your pram away from potential dangers like traffic, bicycles or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects off the handles, as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even die.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's never an ideal idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They could wiggle and get stuck or the pram might roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles is not an ideal idea because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a essential for infants since it aids in better lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cozy, nest-like environment for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but offer the comfort of your child.

Some prams include a separate bassinet or seat for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on the requirements of your baby. This is often called a 'travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body securely. Make sure there aren't any gaps or loose places where fingers could become 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 pram or not - it's perfect for keeping an eye on your child and helping children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with a handy raise and lower feature that can bring your baby close to your face with the push of a button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a fantastic method to keep eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you are looking for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

It is important to take into account your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams come with a bassinet or carrycot, which allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that recline into a flat position. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the childs pram, like the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it is cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame using adaptors, so you can move your child from the car to the pram without disturbing them. These are great for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car boot to accommodate a pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit on their own before you change them from a car capsule into pushchair.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our parent tester found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your baby to glide towards you with the push of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your baby's pram has a solid base and wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it up easily and make sure 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. You will also be able to store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to choose, try out a variety of models at your local store.
