Buying a Pram Newborn

Prams and pushchairs are multi-functional, multi-purpose partners of caregivers and parents. They are the co-pilots for your child's new journey.

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

A pram is typically equipped with a bassinet, but it can be converted to an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns should be protected as much as possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and safe during their travels. A stroller or pram and travel system must have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Be sure that the model you are considering is in compliance with these requirements before you purchase.

Find a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which can lead to spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will have a seat unit that will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for infants and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it runs. A pram with lots of spring suspension will cost more however it is worth the extra expense in the event that you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

You should always make sure to read the instruction manual thoroughly and look over the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not in use, you should keep your stroller away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to remove any bags or items from the handles as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

A stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They can wriggle and become trapped, or the pram may roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags or other objects from the handles is not an ideal idea as they can fall and hit your child in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available on a variety of prams. They create a nest-like space that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat but still provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's requirements. This is often referred to as a 'travel system and is the first thing you should do with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps that are ideally padded and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body comfortably. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas where fingers could become trapped, and that the buckles are simple to use - especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a parent facing pram or not. It's perfect for keeping an eye on your child and helping them feel reassured by the familiar sight of their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, come with an awesome raise and lower function that brings your baby right up to your face at the push of an button, which our parents testers loved! This is an excellent method of keeping connected to your baby, particularly if they're sleeping. If you're searching for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

It is crucial to consider your baby's transportation needs when purchasing a baby pram. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is also a good idea to check out the other accessories are included in the pram, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm during colder weather.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to best travel stroller systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame with adaptors, meaning you can transfer your baby from the car to the pram without disturbing them. These are great if your lifestyle is busy or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a pram. But, you must keep in mind that you'll need wait until your child is old enough to sit up by themselves before you can convert them from a car capsule into pushchair.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a fantastic feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide closer to you at the touch of an button.

You should be able to put bags for shopping and changing in the basket beneath. You should also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although remember that putting on too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you're unsure of which model to pick, check some different models at your local store.
