Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multi-functional, flexible companions of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots in the new adventure of your child.

A pram for newborns is dedicated to newborns and babies. It has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and must be kept as secure as is possible. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable during travel strollers. The basic requirements for any pram or stroller are a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two 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 For newborn you choose meets these standards.

Look for a pram that allows your infant to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position helps support the baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal issues. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways free. The majority of prams can be used right from birth. They have an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat position for younger infants and converts into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of a pram is important as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram with lots of suspension is likely to cost more but it might be worth the cost of this feature if you are planning to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

Always read the instructions and look at the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not using it, park your pram away from dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is also important to remove any bags or other objects from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's not recommended to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could wiggle and get stuck or the pram might be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags or other items on the handles isn't an ideal idea since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option of lying flat as this aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a cozy nest-like space for your baby and is able to be removed from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket style seat don't recline to lie flat, but offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

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

Choose a stroller that has two shoulder straps which are cushioned and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body snugly. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are easy to use - especially for older children. You should also consider if you'd like an adult-facing pram. It is great to keep an eye on your child, and makes them feel more secure by seeing their parents.

Our parents who tested the product enjoyed the features of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the push of the button. This is an excellent way to stay in touch with your baby, particularly if they're sleeping. If you're looking for a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the twin pram and the car.

Convenience

It is important to consider your baby's needs for transportation when buying a newborn pram. Some prams come with the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allow your baby to lay flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have seats that can recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to check what other accessories are included in the pram, like a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it's cold.

Some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame using adaptors, so you can transfer your child from the car to the pram without waking them. These are useful for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you don't have enough space your car boot to fit the pram. But, you must be aware that you will need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit by themselves before you can transform them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Another feature you may want to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our parent facing pram tester found was very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to 'glide towards you at the touch of a button.

You should also be able to keep bags for shopping and changing in the basket underneath. You should be able to store bags for shopping and changing beneath the babiie pram (but remember that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure what model to choose, try out a few different models at your local retailer.
