Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs prams are multi-functional, multi-purpose partners of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots of your child's journey.

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

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and need to be protected as much as possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A stroller or pram should include a break that is working, a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Make sure the pram you select meets these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position supports your baby and avoids a dangerous spinal curve which could lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will come with a seat unit that will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

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

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not in use, keep your stroller away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. You should also remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's not recommended to leave a pram or compact stroller unattended. They could get squirming into the pram and become stuck, or slide away and cause injury. It's also not recommended to hang bags or other items on the handles since they may fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, as it promotes better lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are found on many prams. They create a nest-like space that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but offer the comfort of your child.

Some prams have an additional bassinet or seat for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between the sleeping and sitting positions depending on the needs of your baby. This is often called a 'travel system and is the very first option you should test with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas where fingers could get trapped, and that the buckles are comfortable to use, especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a Parent Facing Pram (Addsub.Wiki) or not. It's ideal for keeping an eye on your child and helping children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a nifty raise and lower function that can bring your baby right up to your face at the push of an button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby and keep in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're searching for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

It is essential to take into account your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams include 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 is important to check the other accessories included in the pram, for instance a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. These are useful when you live a busy schedule or don't have the sufficient space for pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a wonderful feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me, which lets your child 'glide towards you at the touch of an button.

Make sure that your baby's pram has a sturdy base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and securely (five-point rather than three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should also be able to store shopping and changing bags in the basket underneath (although remember that loading the pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to pick, check some different models at your local retailer.
