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 journey.

A pram newborn is designed for newborns and babies and has the most solid, sturdy carrycot that has soft and secure walls.

A pram will typically come with a bassinet, but it can be transformed into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and must be kept as secure as is possible. A pram or stroller that has safety features will keep your baby secure and comfortable while traveling. The most essential requirements for any stroller compact or pram include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps and a Crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person who is pushing the pram. Check that the pram you select meets these requirements.

Look for a pram that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position supports the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous spinal curve that can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams that are used from birth will have an infant seat that can recline into a lie-flat pram position 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 set that has a lot of spring suspension will cost more however it is worth the extra cost in the event that you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or more.

Always read the directions and read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. When not using it, park your pram away from dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They may squirm into the pram and get stuck, or slide away and cause injury. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other items off the handles as they may fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a must for newborns, because it helps improve back and lung development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cozy, nest-like environment for your newborn and is able to be removed from the frame. Others, such as the egg2's bucket-style seat, don't recline to lie flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams also feature a separate bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby stroller's needs. This is sometimes described as a "travel system" and is the initial configuration that you should try out with your baby.

Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure to check for gaps or loose areas, where fingers could become trapped. Also make sure the buckles are safe for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a parent facing pram or not. It's great for keeping an eye on your little one and helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents.

Our parent testers enjoyed the features of some prams, like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the push of a button. This is a great method of keeping in touch with your baby, especially if they're sleeping. If you're in the market for a travel system, be sure to check the frame's compatibility with your car capsule, as this will save the need to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram set newborn it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams come with a carrycot or bassinet, which allow your baby to be laid flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to check the other accessories that are included in the pram, for instance the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold.

Some best prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame with adaptors, meaning you can transfer your baby from the car to the pushchair without waking them. These can be useful for those who have a hectic schedule or don't have the big enough boot for pram capsules, but it's important to keep in mind that your child will need to be old enough and able to sit up independently before you can change between the car capsule and pram.

Another feature to consider is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found very useful for her 10-month old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me that lets your child 'glide towards you at the press of an button.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn - visit, has a solid base and wheels that are able to handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it down easily and ensure that the safety harness is in good working order and fits comfortably (five-point instead of three-point) and can be adjusted as your child grows. You will also be able to store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although keep in mind that loading the pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which one to pick, check various models at your local retailer.
