Buying a Pram Newborn Parents and caregivers can depend on pushchairs and prams to be versatile and multi-functional. They are the co-pilots of your child's journey. A pram newborn is a stroller designed for babies and newborns. It comes with a solid, deep carrycot that is soft walls and safe. A pram will typically come with a bassinet, but it can be converted into a stroller seat once baby is ready. Safety Newborns are incredibly fragile and need to be kept as secure as possible. A pram or stroller with safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. A stroller or pram must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and the crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Verify that the stroller you choose meets these standards. Find a pram that allows your newborn to ride in the recommended lie-flat position. This position supports 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 can be used as early as the time of birth. They have seats that recline into a lay-flat position for infants. It can also be converted to a pushchair for older children. The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it is. A pram that has lots of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it may be worth the cost of this feature if you plan to use your pram daily for a couple of years or longer. Always read the instructions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. It is also important to ensure that your stroller is parked in a secure location free of bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it's not being used. It is recommended to remove any bags or items from the handles since they could cause your baby to become caught or suffocate. Even if the baby seems asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They can get wriggling and become trapped, or the pram may roll away and they could be injured. Hanging pram for newborn or other objects on the handles isn't an ideal idea because they could fall and hit your child in the head. Comfort Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, as it promotes better lung and back development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Other models, such as the egg2's bucket style seat do not recline to lay flat, but they still offer a comfortable ride for your baby. Some prams have a separate bassinet or seat for the newborn. This allows you to easily switch between the sitting and sleeping positions based on what your baby needs. This is sometimes described as a “travel system” and is the initial option to try out with your newborn. Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body safely. Be sure to check for gaps, or loose places where fingers could get caught. Also, ensure that the buckles are simple for older children to use. It's also worth considering whether you'd prefer a pram that faces the parent or not. It's perfect to keep an eye on your child, and also helps them feel secure by the familiar sight of their parents. Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have a handy raise and lower function that can bring your baby right up to your face at the push of the button, which our parents testers absolutely loved! This is a great way to maintain eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you are searching for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you choose, you will not have to wake your baby to switch between the pram and the car. Convenience When you are shopping for a new baby's pram, it is important to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams come with the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allows your baby to lie flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others come with seats that can recline to a lying-flat position. You should also check the other accessories that are included in the pram, like a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm in the event of cold. It's important to note that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors so that you can transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without needing to awake them. These are useful when you have a busy schedule or you don't have enough space your car boot to fit the pram. However, you should keep in mind that you'll need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit up on their own before you convert them from a car capsule into a pushchair. Another feature to consider is the ability to raise and lower the infant's seat from a low to high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our tester for parents found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can lower to allow your child to 'glide towards you at the press of the button, and remain in constant eye contact. You should also be able to keep shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath. You should be able to store shopping bags and changing bags under the pram (but be aware that excessive weight could cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what to choose, try various models at your local store.
