Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can count on prams and pushchairs that can be versatile and multi-functional. They're the co-pilots of the journey of your child.

A pram for newborns is designed for newborns and babies and has a deep, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram typically comes with a bassinet. However, it can be converted into a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. A pram or stroller that has safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and a Crotch strap) and an adjustable wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the position recommended for lying flat. This position supports your baby and prevents the risk of a dangerous curve in their spine that can lead to spinal issues. It also lowers the risk of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways open. Most prams that are used from birth will have the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-flat pram mode for younger babies and then transform into a running pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension on the pram is crucial because it affects how smooth the ride. A pram that has many spring suspensions will be more expensive however, it's worth the extra expense when you intend to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is placed in a safe spot away from traffic, bicycles or any other potential hazards when it's not being used. It is important to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to be trapped or even suffocate.

A pram or stroller should never be left unattended with a baby in it even if they're asleep. They could get squirming into the pram and become trapped, or it could roll away and cause injury. It's also not a good idea to hang bags or other objects on the handles since they could fall and hit your baby's head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option of lying flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cosy nest-like space for your newborn and can be easily detached from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat do not recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams come with an extra bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes depending on your bub's needs. It is often described as a "travel system" and is the initial setup you should test out with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Make sure there are no gaps or areas that are loose 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 great for keeping an eye on your little one and helps them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Our parent testers loved the feature of some prams such as the Graco Near2Me which lets you raise your baby by pressing one button. This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, especially when they are asleep. If you're looking to purchase a best travel pram system, make sure that the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule, as this will save the need to wake them up while changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

It is crucial to consider your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram for newborn (read this post from Bookmarkproduct). Some prams come with the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allow your baby to lay flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. It is also a good idea to check out the other accessories are included in the pram like an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to the frame with adaptors so that you can move your baby from the car to the pram without waking them. These can be useful for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the sufficient space for prams, however it is worth bearing in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her 10-month-old son was a great feature. One good example is the Graco Near2Me which can lower to allow your little one to 'glide into your arms at the press of an button and maintain constant eye contact.

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