Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

A pram is equipped with a bassinet, but it can be converted into a stroller once the baby is ready.

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be protected as much as is possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure during travel. The 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 the strap for the crotch) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a stroller that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that can lead to spinal problems. It reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation by keeping airways clear. Most prams that are used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension on prams is vital as it will affect the smoothness of the ride. A pram that has a lot of suspension is likely to be more costly but it might be worth the cost of this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a few years or longer.

Always be sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not in use, you should park your pram away from dangers such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is also important to remove any bags or other items from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become caught or choke.

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

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute necessity for babies, because it helps improve lung and back development. Cocoons or carrycots 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 they provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes according to your baby's needs. It is often described as a "travel system" and is the first configuration that you should try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your bub'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 prefer a parent facing pram or not - it's great for keeping an eye on your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me, come with a nifty raise and lower function that allows your baby to come right up to your face at the push of an button, which our parents testers really loved! This is a great way to keep connected to your baby, particularly if they are asleep. If you're looking for a travel system, make sure that the frame's compatibility with your car capsule and this will prevent you from having to wake them up every time you're changing between car, pram and back.

Convenience

It is important to take into account your baby's transportation needs when buying a newborn pram. Some best prams come with a carrycot or bassinet, which allows your baby to lay flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline into a flat position. You should also check what other accessories are included in the pram, like a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential to keep 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, meaning you can transfer your child from the car to the pushchair without waking them. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you don't have enough space in your car boot to fit the pram. However, you should keep in mind that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit on their own before you change them from a car capsule into the pushchair.

Another feature you may want to keep an eye on is the possibility of raising and lowering your infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found was extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One 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.

You should be able to put bags for shopping and changing in the basket underneath. You should also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although remember that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check different models at the local store.
