Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can count on pushchairs and prams to be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots for your child's new journey.

A foldable pram newborn is dedicated to newborns and babies. It has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and should be kept as safe as possible. Buying a pram or stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. A pram or stroller must have a break that works, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that the pram you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used as early as birth. They have an adjustable seat that reclines to lay flat for younger infants and converts into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it runs. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will be more expensive however it is worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or more.

Always make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and check the warning labels for your stroller or pram. When not in use, keep your stroller away from potential dangers like traffic, bicycles or other people. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.

A stroller or pram should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They may squirm into the pram and get trapped, or it could be pushed away and cause injuries. It's also not a good idea to hang bags or other items from the handles because they could fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Cocoons or carrycots are found on many prams. They create a nest-like space that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat on egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams also have a separate 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 described as a "compact travel pram system' and is the first option you should test with your baby.

Find a pram with two shoulder straps, ideally padded and a five-point security harness. It should fit your baby's body perfectly. Be sure there aren't gaps or loose areas where fingers could become trapped and that the buckles are comfortable to use, especially for older children. It is also important to consider whether you want a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child and makes them feel more secure being able to see their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me have an awesome raise and lower function that can bring your baby close to your face with the push of a button, which our parents testers really loved! This is a fantastic way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, particularly when they're asleep. If you're looking for a travel system, be sure to check the frame is compatible with the car capsule you've chosen, as this will save you from having to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams include a bassinet or carrycot, that allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It is also important to know what other accessories are included in the pram, for instance the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it is cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car seat pram pod to a frame using adaptors, so you can move your child from the car to the pushchair without waking them up. These can be useful for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a sufficient space for a pram capsule, although it is worth bearing in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature you may want to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our parent tester found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me which can lower to allow your child to 'glide towards you with the push of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can withstand bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although be aware that putting on too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which one to pick, check out some different models at the local store.
