Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller designed for babies and newborns. It comes with a sturdy, deep carrycot with soft, safe walls.

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

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and should be protected as much as is possible. Buying a pram bag or stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure during travel. The most essential requirements for any pram or stroller are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps, and an crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose meets these standards before you buy.

Find a stroller that allows your newborn to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position supports the baby and prevents a potentially dangerous curve in the spine which can lead to spinal problems. 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 as early as birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of prams is vital because it can affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will cost more, but it is worth the extra cost when you intend to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

It is important to be sure to read the instruction manual and examine the warning labels for your pram or stroller. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe spot away from bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it's not being used. Also, you should remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, as they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a child in it even if they are asleep. They could wriggle into the pram and become trapped, or roll away and cause injury. It's also not recommended to hang bags or other things from the handles because they can fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a must for newborns, as it promotes better lung and back development. Cocoons or carrycots are found on many best prams. They create a nest-like environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature an additional bassinet, infant inset or stroller seat so you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's needs. This is often referred to as a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your baby.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Make sure there aren't any gaps or areas where fingers can be trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are simple for older children to operate. You should also consider if you'd like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child, and makes them feel more secure seeing their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, have a handy raise and lower feature that can bring your baby up to your face at the touch of a button, which our parents testers loved! This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your Baby Mobility and keep in touch, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're in the market for an appropriate travel system, be sure to check the frame's compatibility with the car capsule you've chosen to avoid you having to wake them up while changing between pram, car and back.

Convenience

It is essential to consider your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams include a bassinet or carrycot, that allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline into a flat position. It's important to look at what other accessories the pram comes with, such as the footmuff and changing bag that are essential to keep your baby warm during colder months.

It's worth noting that certain prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame via adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to awake them. This is a great option for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate prams, however it's worth keeping in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature to look out for is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our tester for parents found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to glide closer to you at the push of an button.

You should also be able to store shopping bags and changing bags in the basket beneath. You will also be able to keep changing and shopping bags inside the basket beneath (although be aware that loading the pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure of which model to pick, check out a variety of models at the local retailer.
