Buying a pram for newborn (on front page) Newborn

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

A pram for newborns is a must for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and should be kept as safe as you can. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and comfortable during travel. The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps and an crotch strap) and the wrist tether strap that is for the person pushing the pram. Check that the pram you select is in compliance with these requirements.

Find a pram that allows your infant to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position helps support the baby and prevents a potentially dangerous spinal curve that could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it decreases the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). The majority of prams that can be used from birth will have a seat unit that will recline into a lie-flat pram position for younger babies and then transform into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension of a pram is important because it can affect how smooth the ride. A pram that has lots of spring suspension will cost more, but it is worth the extra expense if you plan to use your pram every day for a couple of years or longer.

Always read the instructions and read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your stroller is placed in a safe location free of bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. It is also a good idea to remove any bags or items 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 unattended. They could get squirming into the pram and become trapped, or roll away and cause injury. It's also not recommended to hang bags or other items from the handles because they may fall and strike your baby's 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 cocoons or carrycots that creates a warm nest-like atmosphere 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 they provide an enjoyable ride for your child.

Some prams have a separate bassinet or seat for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between the sitting and sleeping positions based on the requirements of your baby. This is often called a 'travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your baby.

Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a sturdy five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure that there aren't any gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are simple to use, especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram that faces the parent or not - it's ideal to keep an eye on your child and helping them feel secure by the familiarity of their parents.

Our parent testers loved the feature of certain prams such as the Graco Near2Me that allows you to raise your baby at the push of one button. This is a great way to keep in touch with your baby, especially if they're sleeping. If you're seeking a travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you pick, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the pram uk and the car.

Convenience

When purchasing a newborn pram, it is crucial to think about the needs of your baby's transportation. Some prams have a bassinet or carrycot, which allows your baby to be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others have seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It's also a good idea to look at what other accessories the pram comes with, such as the footmuff and changing bag which are essential for keeping your baby warm in colder weather.

It's worth noting that certain prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems permitting you to connect a car capsule with the frame using adaptors so that you can easily move your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to get them up. This is a great option if you have a busy life or don't have a large enough car boot to accommodate a pram capsule, although it's worth keeping in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, which can be lowered to allow your little one to 'glide towards you at the press of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

You should be able to put shopping bags and changing bags in the basket underneath. You should also be able keep changing and shopping bags in the basket underneath (although keep in mind that putting on excessive weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure which to choose, test different models at your local store.
