Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is a special stroller for newborns and babies. It has a sturdy, deep carrycot and soft, safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and need to be protected as much as is possible. Buying a stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe during their travels. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and the Crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is up to the standards before purchasing.

Look for a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for your baby and avoids the risk of a dangerous curve in their spine that could cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension on prams is vital because it affects how smooth the ride. A pram with lots of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it could be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the directions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. Also, ensure that your pram is parked in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it's not being used. It is important to remove any bags or objects from the handles since they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

Push Chairs And Prams or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They can get wriggling and become trapped, or the pram may roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags or other items from the handles isn't recommended because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option to lie flat, as it aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carrycots are found on many prams. They create a nest-like environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams come with an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's requirements. This is sometimes called a "travel system" and is the initial configuration that you should try out with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two straps for the shoulder which are cushioned, and a five-point safety harness. It must fit your child's body comfortably. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are simple to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not - it's perfect to watch your child and helping children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of certain prams such as the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby at the push of a button. This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, especially if they are sleeping. If you're in the market for an appropriate travel system, be sure that the frame's compatibility with your car capsule, as this will save the need to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams have a bassinet, carrycot or seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is also important to know the other accessories that are included in the pram, such as a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it is cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your baby from the car to the pram without waking them up. This is a great option when you live a busy schedule or don't have the sufficient space for prams, however it's important to keep in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Our parent tester discovered that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a fantastic feature. A good example is the Graco Near2Me which can lower to allow your little one to 'glide' up to you with the push of an button and maintain constant eye contact.





Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down easily and make sure the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store shopping bags and changing bags beneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which one to pick, check out some different models at your local store.
