Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is a special stroller designed for babies and newborns. It is a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls and safe.

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

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and need to be kept as safe as possible. Buying a pram or stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure during travel. A pram or stroller must have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 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 stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended position of lying flat. This position supports the baby and prevents 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 can be used from birth will include a seat unit that will recline to a lay-flat pram mode for babies younger than the age of one and convert into a pushchair seat unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram that has many spring suspensions will cost more however it is worth the extra cost when you intend to use your pram each day for a few years or longer.

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

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's never recommended to leave a stroller or pram store near me unattended. They could wiggle and get trapped or the pram could be thrown away and the child could be injured. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles is not recommended because they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a essential for infants since it aids in better lung and back development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a warm, nest-like environment for your newborn and can be easily removed from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but offer a comfortable ride for your child.

Some prams have a separate bassinet or seat for the newborn. This lets you easily switch between sitting and sleeping positions based on what your baby needs. It is commonly described as a "travel stroller system' and is the first thing you should do with your baby.

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

Our parent testers enjoyed the features of some prams like the Graco Near2Me, which lets you raise your baby and lower it at the touch of a button. This is an excellent method of keeping connected to your baby, especially when they're sleeping. If you're looking for a travel system, be sure to check the frame is compatible with your chosen car capsule to avoid you from having to wake them up while changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is essential to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to an upright position. This is important to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is also a good idea to look at what other accessories the pram comes with like an infant changing bag and a footmuff which are essential to keep your baby warm in colder weather.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the compact pushchair without needing to awake 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 and travel system. However, you should keep in mind that you will need to wait until your child is old enough to sit by themselves before you can transform them from a car capsule into a pushchair.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a wonderful feature. A good example is the Graco Near2Me, that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide into your arms by pressing the button, and remain in constant eye contact.

You should be able to put shopping bags and changing bags in the basket beneath. It should be possible to store bags for changing and shopping beneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're unsure which to choose, test various models at your local retailer.
