Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller for newborns and babies. It comes with a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls and safe.

A pram will typically come with a bassinet but can be converted to a stroller seat when baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be kept as secure as is possible. Purchasing a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and secure during travel. A pram or stroller must include a break that is working and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that your chosen pram is up to the standards before you purchase.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the position recommended for lying flat. This position is supportive for your baby and prevents the development of a risky curve in their spine that can lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will come with the seat unit, which will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for infants and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram is crucial because it affects how smooth the ride. A pram with a lot of suspension is likely to be more costly but it might be worth it to purchase this feature if you intend to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

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 placed in a secure location free of bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it's not being used. You should also remove any bags or other items from the handles, as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

A pram and travel system or stroller should not be left unattended with a baby in it, even if they are asleep. They could wiggle and get stuck or the pram might be thrown away and the child might be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles is not a good thing as they can fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute essential for infants since it aids in better back and lung development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a cozy nest-like space for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, don't recline completely flat, but provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams come with an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's requirements. This is often called a "travel system" and is the initial configuration that you should try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two straps for the shoulder, ideally padded and a five-point security harness. It should fit your baby's body perfectly. Be sure to check for gaps or areas, where fingers could be trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are easy for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram 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 testers with parents enjoyed the features of some prams like the Graco Near2Me that lets you raise your baby and lower it at the touch of a button. This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby, and stay in contact, particularly when they're sleeping. If you're looking for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you choose it is not necessary to wake your baby up to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

When purchasing a newborn pram, it is crucial to think about the needs of your baby's transportation. Some top prams have the option of a carrycot or bassinet that allows your baby to lay flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. It's important to check out the other accessories the pram has, such as a changing bag and footmuff that are essential to keep your baby warm in the colder winter months.

Some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair without disturbing them. These are great if your lifestyle is busy or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate the pram. However, it is important to be aware that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit by themselves before you can change them from a car capsule to the pushchair.

Another feature to look out for is the ability to raise and lower the infant's seat from a low to 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! One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide closer to you at the push of the button.

Also, ensure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store shopping bags and changing bags underneath the pram (but keep in mind that too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which model to go with, try some different models at your local retailer.
