Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

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

Safety

Newborns must be protected to the greatest extent possible. A pram or stroller that has safety features will ensure that your baby is in a safe and comfortable environment during travel. A pram or stroller must include a break that is working and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a pram that allows your baby to travel in the recommended position of lying flat. This position supports the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways clear. The majority of prams for newborns can be used from the moment of birth. They come with seats that recline into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted to a pushchair for older children.

The suspension on the pram is crucial as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram bags with lots of spring suspension will be more expensive however it is worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram every for a while or longer.

Always take the time to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your pram or stroller. You should also make sure that your stroller is parked in a safe location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it isn't being used. It is also a good idea to remove any bags or objects from the handles since they could cause your baby to be caught or suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's never recommended to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They could wriggle into the stroller and become trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. It is also not recommended to hang bags or other items on the handles since they could fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option of lying flat, as it aids in lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are available on many prams. They create a nest-like space that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, don't recline completely flat, but provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams include a separate bassinet or seat for the newborn. This lets you effortlessly switch between sleeping and sitting positions depending on what your baby needs. This is often referred to as a 'travel system and is the very first thing you should do with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally padded) and a five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure to check for gaps or loose places where fingers could get caught. Also, ensure that the buckles are simple for older children to use. You should also consider whether you want an adult-facing pram. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child and makes them feel more secure by seeing their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with a nifty raise and lower function that can bring your baby right up to your face at the touch of the button, which our parents testers loved! This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, especially when they're sleepy. If you are searching for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick you won't have to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When buying a folding pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams include carrycots, a bassinet or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is important to take a look at the other accessories the pram comes with, such as a changing bag and footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in the colder winter months.

Some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect an auto 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 live a hectic lifestyle or you don't have enough space your car's boot to accommodate a pram. However, it is important to be aware that you will need to wait until your child is old enough to sit independently before you change them from a car capsule to the triple pushchair.

Another feature to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was really useful with her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can be lowered to allow your baby to glide into your arms at the press of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

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 with ease and make sure the safety harness is in good working order and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should also be able keep changing and shopping bags inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of which one to pick, check out some different models at your local retailer.
