Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are the multi-functional, multi-purpose companions of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots in the new journey of your child.

A pram for newborns is a special stroller for newborns and babies. It is a sturdy, deep carrycot and soft walls and safe.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and need to be kept as secure as is possible. A pram or stroller that has safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable during travel. A stroller or pram should have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Make sure that the pram you choose meets these standards before you buy.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents an unintentionally dangerous spinal curve that can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will have an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram position for babies younger than the age of one and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will cost more, but it is worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, place your triple stroller in a safe area away from dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to take any bags or other items from 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 in it even if they're asleep. They can get wriggling and become stuck or the pram might slide away and the baby might be injured. It's also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects on the handles since they may fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies are able to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your baby and can be easily removed from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams have an additional bassinet or seat for infants. This allows you to easily switch between the sitting and sleeping positions based on the needs of your baby. It is commonly called a 'travel system and is the first thing you should do with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps which are cushioned, and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body snugly. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose 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 prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's ideal to watch your little one and helps children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me have a handy raise and lower feature that brings your baby up to your face at the touch of an button, which our parent testers really loved! This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. 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 up to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams come with a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline into a flat position. It's also a good idea to take a look at the other accessories the pram comes with like the footmuff and changing bag which are essential to keep your baby warm in the colder winter months.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame using adaptors, so you can transfer your child from the car to the pushchair without waking them. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a double pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit up by themselves before you can convert them from a car capsule into the running pushchair.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a wonderful feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me which lets your child 'glide towards you at the touch of an button.

Finally, make sure your newborn pram has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness is in good working order and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although be aware 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.
