Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can count on prams and pushchairs that can be versatile and multi-functional. They're the co-pilots of the new journey of your child.

A pram for newborns is a special stroller for infants and newborns. It comes with a sturdy, deep carrycot and soft walls that are safe and secure.

A pram and travel system is typically equipped with a bassinet. However, it can be transformed into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller are a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps, and the Crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Verify that the stroller you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to travel in the position recommended for lying flat. This position supports the baby and prevents a potentially dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways open. Most prams for sale can be used from the moment of birth. They come with seats that recline into a lay-flat position for infants. It can also be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with a lot of spring suspension will be more expensive however it is worth the extra expense when you intend to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the directions and carefully read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is parked in a secure location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it is not being used. You should also remove any bags or other items from the handles, as they could 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 could get squirming into the pram and get trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects on the handles since they may fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a necessity for babies, as it promotes better back and lung development. Cocoons or carrycots are available on many prams. They create a nest-like space that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lay flat, but offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams have a separate seat or bassinet for a newborn. This lets you effortlessly switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on the needs of your baby. This is often called a 'travel system and is the very first thing you should do with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body securely. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught and that the buckles are comfortable to use, particularly for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent Facing pram bag (http://nlifelab.org/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=3262336) or not - it's ideal for keeping an eye on your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me have a handy raise and lower function that brings your baby right up to your face at the touch of a button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a great way to keep in touch with your baby, especially when they're sleeping. If you're looking for an appropriate travel system, be sure to check the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule, as this will save you having to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

It is crucial to take into account your baby's needs for transportation when buying a newborn pram. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that can recline to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is important to check the other accessories included in the pram, such as a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems which allows you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors so that you can transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These are useful if you have a busy life or don't have a sufficient space for a pram capsule, although it's worth keeping in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature to consider is the ability to raise and lower the 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 was very useful for her 10-month old boy! An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide' up to you with the push of an button and maintain constant eye contact.

You should also be able to keep bags for shopping and changing in the basket beneath. It should be possible to store shopping bags and changing bags under the pram (but keep in mind that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which to choose, test various models at the local store.
