Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multi-functional, flexible companions of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots of your child's journey.

A pram newborn is a dedicated stroller designed for babies and newborns. It has a sturdy, deep carrycot and soft walls that are safe and secure.

A pram is typically equipped with a bassinet, but it can be transformed into a stroller seat when baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns should be protected to the greatest extent possible. A pram store near me or stroller with safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller or pram must have a working break and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Be sure that the model you are considering meets these standards before you buy.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in the spine which can lead to spinal problems. It reduces the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways open. The majority of prams that can be used from birth will include a seat unit that will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it is. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more costly but it may be worth paying for this feature if you plan on using your pram everyday for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your stroller is placed in a secure location away from traffic, bicycles or other hazards when it isn't being used. You should also remove any bags or other objects from the handles as they can cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

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

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, since it aids in better back and lung development. Cocoons or carrycots are available on many prams. They create a cozy environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, don't recline completely flat, but provide a comfortable ride for your child.

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

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable to use, especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not. It's great to watch your child, and also helps children feel secure with the familiarity of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a handy raise and lower feature that allows your baby to come right up to your face at the push of a button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleepy. If you're seeking a travel system compatible with the car capsule you select it is not necessary to wake your baby up to switch between the pram bag and the car.

Convenience

It is important to take into account your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams come with an infant bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is important for your baby's spinal development and breathing. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, such as the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame with adaptors so that you can move your child from the car to the pram without disturbing them. These are useful for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a sufficient space for prams, however it is worth bearing in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit on their own 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 to high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our tester for parents found very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide up' to you with the press of an button.

You should also be able to keep bags for shopping and changing in the basket beneath. You should be able store bags for changing and shopping underneath the pram (but remember that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which model to choose, try out a variety of models at your local retailer.
