Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

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

Safety

Newborns should be protected as much as is possible. A pram or stroller 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 and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps with two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Check that the pram you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your baby to travel in the recommended position of lying flat. This position helps your baby and prevents a dangerous curvature in their spine that could cause problems with their spine. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways free. Most prams that can be used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair car seat unit for older children.

The suspension of prams is vital because it can affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram with lots of spring suspension will cost more, but it is worth the extra cost if you plan to use your pram each for a while or longer.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your pram or twin stroller. When not in use, park your pram away from potential dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is recommended to take any bags or other items from the handles since they could cause your baby to be trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not recommended to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can get wriggling and become trapped, or the pram sets may be thrown away and the child could be injured. It's not a good idea to hang bags or other items off the handles as they may fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies are able to lie flat, as it aids in lung and back development. Many prams for sale have cocoons or carrycots that creates a cozy nest-like space for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but they provide the comfort of your child.

Some prams also have a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's requirements. It is commonly referred to as a 'travel system and is the first option you should test with your newborn.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body securely. Be sure there aren't 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 prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's perfect for keeping an eye on your child and helping children feel secure with the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parent testers enjoyed the features of some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, which lets you raise your baby and lower it at the touch of a button. This is a great way to keep in touch with your baby, particularly if they are asleep. If you're looking for a travel system, make sure to check whether the frame is compatible with your car capsule to avoid the need to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that can recline to an upright position. This is crucial for your baby's spinal development and breathing. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it's cold.

It's important to note that some strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems, allowing you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors so that you can move your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to awake them. These can be useful when you live a busy life or don't have a sufficient space for prams, however it's worth keeping in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found was extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide closer to you at the touch of an button.

Also, ensure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Ensure that you can fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able to store bags for changing and shopping underneath the pram (but keep in mind that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check various models at your local store.
