Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn (Recommended Browsing) is a must for newborns and babies and has a deep, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns must be protected as much as is possible. A pram or stroller that has safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller or pram should have a working break and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that your chosen pram is in compliance with these requirements before purchasing.

Find a pram which allows your baby to travel in the recommended lying-flat position. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal issues. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways free. Most prams are able to be used as early as birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat position for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it rides. A pram with lots of spring suspension will be more expensive however it is worth the extra expense when you intend to use your pram every day for a few years or longer.

Always be sure to go through the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. Also, ensure that your stroller is placed in a safe location free of bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. You should also remove any bags or other items from the handles as they can cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a compact stroller or pram unattended. They could get squirming into the stroller and become trapped, or it could be pushed away and cause injuries. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't recommended as they can fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a warm nest-like space for your infant and can be easily removed from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but they provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams have an additional bassinet or seat for the newborn. This allows you to effortlessly switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. This is sometimes described as a "travel system" and is the first option to try out with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps that are ideally padded, and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body comfortably. Make sure there aren't any gaps or loose places where fingers could become trapped. Also, make sure that the buckles are simple 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 ideal to watch your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have an awesome raise and lower feature that brings your baby close to your face with the push chairs and prams of an button, which our parent testers absolutely loved! This is a great way to stay in touch with your baby, particularly if they are asleep. If you're searching for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you select it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that can recline to a flat position. This is important for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is important to take a look at the other accessories the pram has like an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder weather.

It's worth noting that certain prams for newborns and strollers can be converted into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors so that you can easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. This is a great option when you live a busy lifestyle or don't have a sufficient space for a pram with car seat capsule, although it's worth keeping in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering the infant's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to glide towards you at the touch of an button.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness you use is safe, fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able keep changing and shopping bags in the basket underneath (although be aware that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of which one to pick, check out some different models at your local retailer.
