Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn (Recommended Browsing) is dedicated to infants and newborns. It comes with a the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured as much as is possible. A stroller or pram that has safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. A stroller or pram must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Verify that the stroller you select meets these requirements.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents an unintentionally dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and transform into a pushchair newborn unit for older children.

The suspension on a pram is important because it can affect how smooth the ride. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will cost more however it is worth the extra cost if you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or longer.

Always make sure to read the instruction manual and check the warning labels for your pram or babiie stroller. When not in use, keep your stroller away from any potential hazards like traffic, bicycles or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

Even if the baby is asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can wriggle and become stuck or the pram might slide away and the baby might be injured. Hanging bags or other items on the handles isn't a good thing as they can fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, as it promotes better back and lung development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere for your baby and is able to be removed from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, can't be reclined completely flat, but offer an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams have a separate bassinet or seat for infants. This allows you to easily switch between the sitting and sleeping positions based on the requirements of your baby. It is commonly called a 'travel system' and is the first option you should test with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable to use - especially for older children. Also, think about if you would like a parent-facing pram and travel system. It is great to keep an eye on your child, and makes them feel more secure having their parents around.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of certain prams like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the touch of the button. This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby and stay in contact, particularly when they're sleepy. If you're looking to purchase a best travel pushchair system, be sure the frame is compatible with your car capsule, as this will save the need to wake them up while changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams include an infant bassinet, carrycot or seat that reclines to a flat position. This is important for your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is also important to know the other accessories that are included in the pram, such as a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

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

Another feature to look out for is the possibility of raising and lowering your infant's seat from a low to high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you. This is something our parent tester 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 a button.

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 easily and ensure that the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able store shopping bags and changing bags under the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which model to go with, try some different models at your local retailer.
