Buying a pram sets Newborn

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

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

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller or pram should include a break that is working, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Verify that the stroller you choose meets these standards.

Find a Pram For Newborn that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position helps your baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous curvature in their spine that could cause problems with their spine. It also lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways open. Most prams that are used from birth will come with the seat unit, which will recline to a lay-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 smooth it runs. A pram with lots of spring suspension will cost more however, it's worth the extra cost in the event that you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is placed in a safe location free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it is not being used. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects off the handles, as they could cause your baby to be trapped or even suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags, or other items on the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option of lying flat as this aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a cosy nest-like space for your baby and can be easily removed from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but offer the comfort of your child.

Some prams come with a separate bassinet or seat for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on the needs of your baby. This is sometimes called a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body securely. Be sure to check for gaps or loose places where fingers could get caught. Also, ensure that the buckles are easy for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not - it's great to keep an eye on your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Our parent testers loved the feature of some prams, like the Graco Near2Me that lets you raise your baby at the touch of a button. This is a fantastic way to maintain eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you are seeking a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you choose, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When you are shopping for a new baby's pram, it is important to consider your baby's needs for transport. Some prams have the option of a carrycot or bassinet that allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have seats that recline to a lying-flat position. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the pram, for instance a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm in the event of 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 baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them. This is a great option for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the big enough boot for a pram capsule, although it's important to keep in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to consider is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our tester for parents found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to glide towards you at the push of an button.

Make sure that your baby's pram has a solid base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you are able to fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able store shopping bags and changing bags under the pram (but keep in mind that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check out some different models at your local retailer.
