Buying a Pram Newborn

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

A pram newborn is a must for infants and newborns. It comes with a a deep, sturdy carrycot with soft and safe walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and need to be kept as secure as you can. A stroller or pram that has safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable while traveling. A stroller newborn or pram should have a working break and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person pushing it. Make sure that the pram you choose is in compliance with these requirements before purchasing.

Look for a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for your baby and prevents a dangerous spinal curve that could cause problems with their spine. 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 the seat unit, which will recline into a lie-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 smoothly it is. A pram that has many suspensions is likely to cost more but it could be worth it to purchase this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a couple of years or more.

Always read the instructions and read 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 recommended to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's not a good idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They can get wriggling and become trapped or the pram could be thrown away and the child might be injured. It is also not recommended to hang bags or other things off the handles as they can fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your newborn and can be easily detached from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lie flat, but offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

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

Look for a pram that has two shoulder straps which are cushioned, and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body comfortably. Make sure there aren't any gaps, or loose areas, where fingers could get caught. Also, make sure that the buckles are easy for older children to operate. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not - it's perfect to watch your little one and helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of some prams pushchairs like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the push of a button. This is a fantastic method of keeping eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're looking for an appropriate travel system, be sure whether the frame is compatible with your car capsule and this will prevent the need to wake them up every time you're changing between car, pram and back again.

Convenience

When buying a folding pram newborn it is important to consider your baby's needs for transport. Some prams include an infant bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential to ensure your baby's spinal development and breathing. It is important to look at what other accessories are included in the pram, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff that are essential to keep your baby warm in the colder winter months.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to awake them. These are great for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you don't have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a pram. However, it is important to be aware that you will need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit on their own before you change them from a car capsule to a pushchair.

Our parent tester found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her 10-month-old son was a great feature. One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to glide towards you at the push of an button.

Make sure that your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can handle bumps and potholes and that you are able to fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness is functional, fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You will also be able to put your shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath (although be aware that loading the pram with excessive weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which one to pick, check various models at your local retailer.
