Buying a Pram Newborn

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

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

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

Safety

Newborns need to be secured to the greatest extent possible. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and secure while traveling. A pram or stroller must have a break that works and a five-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Make sure the pram you choose meets these standards.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous spinal curve that can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will include an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram position for babies younger than the age of one and transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram with many suspensions is likely to be more costly but it might be worth the cost of this feature if you are planning to use your pram daily for a few years or more.

Always read the instructions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not in use, you should place your stroller in a safe area away from potential dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is important to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to get trapped or even die.

A babiie stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby in it even if they are asleep. They could get squirming into the stroller and become trapped, or be pushed away and cause injuries. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies have the option to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. A lot of prams come with cocoons or carrycots that creates a cosy nest-like atmosphere for your newborn and is able to be removed from the frame. Some seats, such as the bucket-style seat found on the egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but provide a comfortable ride for your child.

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

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body securely. Check that there are no gaps or areas, where fingers could get caught. Also, ensure that the buckles are safe for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a Parent Facing Pram (J2V.Co.Kr) or not. It's great to keep an eye on your child, and also helps them feel reassured by the familiarity of their parents.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of some prams like the Graco Near2Me, which lets you raise your baby and lower it at the touch of one button. This is a fantastic method to keep eye contact with your baby and keep 3 in one pushchair touch, particularly when they're asleep. If you are seeking a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

It is essential to take into account your baby's needs for transportation when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams have a bassinet or carrycot, that allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with a seat that can recline into a flat position. It's important to look at what other accessories the pram has, such as an infant changing bag and a footmuff that are essential to keep your baby warm during colder months.

It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you do not have enough space in your car boot to accommodate a pram sale. However, it is important to keep in mind that you'll need to wait until your child is old enough to sit by themselves before you can transform them from a car capsule into pushchair.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low to high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me, which allows your child to glide closer to you at the press of the button.

Finally, make sure your baby's pram has a sturdy base with wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness you use is safe that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You should be able to store shopping bags and changing bags underneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight could cause it to topple over). If you're unsure which to choose, test different models at the local store.
