Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is dedicated to infants and newborns. It comes with a the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and must be kept as safe as possible. A pram or stroller equipped with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and the strap for the crotch) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose meets these standards before you buy.

Look for a pram sale that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports the baby and prevents a potentially dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used right from the moment of birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat position for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram is crucial as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram with lots of spring suspension will cost more however, it's worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or longer.

Always read the directions and carefully read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe spot 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 choke.

A pram or stroller should not be left alone with a child in it even if they are asleep. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child might be injured. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, because it helps improve back and lung development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cozy nest-like atmosphere for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lay flat but still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams include a separate seat or bassinet for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on the requirements of your baby. This is often referred to as a 'travel system and is the first option you should test with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Check that there are no gaps, or loose places where fingers could be trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are safe 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 for keeping an eye on your child, and also helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parents who tested the product enjoyed the features of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby at the touch of one button. This is a great way to stay in touch with your baby, especially if they are asleep. If you are searching for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the babiie pram and 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 be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. It's important to take a look at the other accessories are included in the pram sets, such as the footmuff and changing bag that are essential to keep your baby warm during the colder winter months.

It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems which allows you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without having to get them up. These are useful if your lifestyle is busy or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a pram pushchair. But, you must keep in mind that you'll need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit by themselves before you can transform them from a car capsule to the pushchair.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower the infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your baby to glide' up to you at the press of the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it up easily, and check that the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should be able store bags for changing and shopping beneath the pram (but remember that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check out some different models at the local store.
