Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is designed for newborns and babies. It has the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and secure walls.

A pram comes with a bassinet, but it can also be converted into a stroller when the baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and should be kept as safe as possible. A stroller newborn or triple pram that has safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and a Crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that the pram you select meets these requirements.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position supports your baby and prevents a dangerous spinal curve which could lead to problems with their spine. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by ensuring that the airways are clear. Most prams are able to be used as early as birth. They have an adjustable seat that reclines to lay flat for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of prams is vital as it will affect how smooth the ride. A pram that has a lot of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it might be worth it to purchase this feature if you are planning to use your pram every day for a few years or longer.

Always read the instructions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not in use, keep your stroller away from dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to remove any bags or objects from the handles since they could cause your baby to be trapped or even die.

A stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They could wriggle into the pram and become trapped, or slide away and cause injury. It's also not a good prams idea to hang bags or other objects on the handles since they may fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option of lying flat, as it aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere for your baby and is able to be removed from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat, don't recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams come with an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes based on your baby's requirements. This is often referred to as a 'travel system' and is the first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Look for a pram that has two shoulder straps which are cushioned, and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body snugly. Check that there are no gaps or loose areas, where fingers could become trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are easy for older children to operate. It is also important to consider if you'd like an adult-facing pram. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child and makes them feel more secure by having their parents around.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, come with a handy raise and lower function that can bring your baby up to your face at the push of the button, which our parent testers loved! This is a fantastic way to maintain eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're in the market for a travel system, be sure whether the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule and this will prevent you having to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car 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 or carrycot, which allows your baby to lay flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. It's important to check out the other accessories the pram has, such as a changing bag and footmuff that are essential to keep your baby warm during colder weather.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors, so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to awake them. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate the pram. However, it is important to keep in mind that you will need to wait until your child is old enough to sit by themselves before you can convert them from a car capsule to the pushchair.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a great feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to 'glide up' to you with the push of a button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down easily and ensure that the safety harness is functional and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable 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 excessive weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure of which model to choose, try out a variety of models at your local store.
