Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multifunctional, versatile partners of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots on the new journey of your child.

A pram for newborns is designed for newborns and babies and has the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns should be protected to the greatest extent possible. A stroller or pram with safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. The essential requirements for any pram or folding stroller are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps and a strap for the crotch) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person pushing the Pram for newborn. Make sure that the pram you choose is in compliance with these requirements before you buy.

Find a stroller that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position helps your baby and avoids a dangerous curve in their spine which could lead to spinal issues. It also reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways free. Most prams are able to be used as early as the time of birth. They have seats that recline into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted into a foldable pushchair for older children.

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

Always take the time to read the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. Also, ensure that your stroller is parked in a secure location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it isn't being used. It is important to take any bags or other items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to be trapped or even die.

A pram or stroller should not be left unattended with a child in it even if they're asleep. They may squirm into the pram and get trapped, or roll away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles is not recommended since they could fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a necessity for babies, because it helps improve back and lung development. Many prams have cocoons or carrycots that creates a cozy, nest-like environment for your infant and can be easily detached from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but they provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams have a separate seat or bassinet for infants. This allows you to effortlessly switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. This is often called a 'travel system and is the first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Check that there are no gaps or loose places where fingers could get caught. Also make sure the buckles are easy for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not - it's perfect for keeping an eye on your little one and helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, have a nifty raise and lower feature that brings your baby up to your face at the touch of an button, which our parents testers loved! This is an excellent way to keep connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you're looking to purchase a travel system, be sure whether the frame is compatible with the car capsule you've chosen, as this will save the need to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

It is crucial to consider your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some best prams come with carrycots, a bassinet or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as 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 compact travel pram systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your baby from the car to the double pushchair without waking them. These are useful when you live a busy life or don't have a big enough boot for a pram capsule, although it's worth keeping in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a great feature. A good 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.

You should also be able to store bags for shopping and changing in the basket beneath. It should be possible to store bags for changing and shopping under the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which to choose, test out some different models at the local store.
