Newborns must be protected to the greatest extent possible. Purchasing a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure during travel. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and the crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that your chosen pram is in compliance with these requirements before purchasing.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position helps support the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams can be used right from the moment of birth. They come with seats that recline into a lay-flat mode for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it runs. A pram that has a lot of suspension is likely to cost more but it might be worth the cost of this feature if you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or more.

Always take the time to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is parked in a safe spot away from traffic, bicycles or any other dangers when it isn't being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles as they could cause your baby to become caught or choke.

A pram or compact stroller should not be left unattended with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They could get squirming into the stroller and become trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. It's not a good idea to hang bags or other objects off the handles as they can fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, as it promotes better lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but offer an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams also have a separate bassinet, newborn double stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. This is sometimes called a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your baby.

Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose 3 in 1 pram which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are easy to use, especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's perfect to keep an eye on your little one and helps them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, have a handy raise and lower function that brings your baby close to your face with the push of a button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a fantastic way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're in the market for a travel system, be sure that whether the frame is compatible with your car capsule to avoid you from having to wake them up when changing between car, pram and back again.

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 disturbing them. These can be useful for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate a pram capsule, although it is worth bearing in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Our parent tester discovered that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her 10-month-old son was a wonderful feature. An excellent example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your baby to glide into your arms by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base with wheels that can handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it up easily and ensure that the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should also be able store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although be aware that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of which to choose, test various models at your local store.
