Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multi-functional, multi-purpose allies of parents and caregivers. They are the co-pilots on the new journey of your child.

A pram newborn is designed for newborns and babies. It has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram comes with a bassinet, however it can be converted to a stroller once the baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns must be protected to the greatest extent possible. A pram or stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable during travel. A pram or triple stroller must have a break that works and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Be sure that the model you are considering meets these standards before you purchase.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position supports your baby and prevents a dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams can be used as early as birth. They come with seats that recline into a lay-flat position for younger infants and converts into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram with car seat is crucial as it will affect how smooth the ride is. A pram that has a lot of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it may be worth the cost of this feature if you plan on using your pram everyday for a couple of years or more.

It is important to make sure to read the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your stroller or pram. It is also important to ensure that your pram is parked in a safe spot away from bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it is not being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles as they can cause your baby to become caught or choke.

A pram or stroller should not be left unattended with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They can get wriggling and become trapped or the pram could slide away and the baby could be injured. It's also not a good idea to hang bags or other items off the handles as they could fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute essential for infants as it promotes better back and lung development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a warm nest-like space for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lie flat, but offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams have a separate bassinet or seat for infants. This allows you to easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on the needs of your baby. This is sometimes described as a "best travel pram system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two straps for the shoulder which are cushioned, and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body snugly. Make sure there aren't any gaps or areas where fingers can become trapped. Also make sure the buckles are safe for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's ideal to keep an eye on your little one and helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Our parent testers loved the feature of some prams, like the Graco Near2Me which lets you raise your baby and lower it at the push of a button. This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're in the market for a travel system, be sure the frame's compatibility with your car capsule, as this will save you from having to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams come with a bassinet or carrycot, which allow your baby to be laid flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to look at what other accessories are included in the pram like the footmuff and changing bag which are essential to keep your baby warm in colder months.

It's important to note that some strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame via adaptors so that you can easily move your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to awake them. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you don't have enough space your car's boot to accommodate a pram. But, you must be aware that you'll need to wait until your child is old enough to sit by themselves before you can transform them from a car capsule into a pushchair.

Another feature you may want to consider is the ability to raise and lower your newborn'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 was extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which lets your child 'glide closer to you at the press of an button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you are able to fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. It should be possible to 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 model to choose, try out a few different models at your local retailer.
