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 a stroller for newborns and babies. It has a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls that are safe and secure.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and should be kept as safe as you can. A pram or cheap stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. The basic requirements for any double stroller or pram are a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and the crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Verify that the stroller you choose meets these standards.

Find a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports your baby and avoids the risk of a dangerous curvature in their spine which could lead to problems with their spine. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will come with the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and convert into a pushchair twin seat unit for older children.

The suspension on a pram is important because it affects how smooth the ride. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more expensive but it could be worth paying for this feature if you plan on using your pram everyday for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, keep your stroller away from any potential hazards like traffic, bicycles or other people. It is also important to remove any bags or other items from the handles as they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a pram or stroller newborn unattended. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may be thrown away and the child might be injured. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects from the handles because they may fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

It is essential that newborns have the option of lying flat, as it aids in lung and back development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cozy nest-like space for your baby and Lightweight strollers can be easily detached from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but they provide a comfortable ride for your child.

Some prams come with an extra bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's requirements. It is commonly described as a "travel system and is the first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a five-point safety harness that fits your child's body securely. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable 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 great to watch your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiar sight of their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the touch of one button. This is an excellent method of keeping in touch with your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you're in the market for a travel system, make sure whether the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule, as this will save you from having to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back again.

Convenience

It is important to consider your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams include the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allow your baby to be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to look at what other accessories the pram has, such as the footmuff and changing bag which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder months.

Some strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your child from the car to the pram without waking them. These are useful for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the big enough boot for pram capsules, but it's worth keeping in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit up on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

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

You should be able to put bags for shopping and changing in the basket underneath. You should be able store shopping bags and changing bags beneath the pram (but keep in mind that too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which to choose, test out some different models at your local store.
