Buying a Pram NewbornPrams and pushchairs are the multifunctional, versatile partners of caregivers and parents. They're the co-pilots of the new adventure of your child.A pram for newborns is a must for infants and newborns. It comes with a the most solid, sturdy carrycot with soft and secure walls.A pram will typically come with a bassinet. However, it can be converted into an infant stroller seat once baby is ready.SafetyNewborns are incredibly fragile and need to be kept as secure as you can. Buying a stroller or pram with safety features will ensure that your baby is safe and secure while traveling. The essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps, and the crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Make sure the pram you select is in compliance with these requirements.Find a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position helps your baby and helps prevent the risk of a dangerous curve in their spine that can lead to spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams can be used from the moment of birth. They come with an adjustable seat that reclines into a lay-flat position for infants, and can be converted into a pushchair unit for older children.The suspension of a pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram that has a lot of spring suspension will cost more however, it's worth the extra cost in the event that you plan to use your pram each day for a couple of years or longer.Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. Also, ensure that your stroller is placed in a secure location free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it isn't being used. It is also important to remove any bags or other items that are not removed from the handles, since they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate.Even if the baby is asleep, it's not recommended to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could get squirming into the pram and get stuck, or be pushed away and cause injuries. Hanging bags or other objects from the handles isn't recommended since they could fall and strike your child on the head.ComfortPossibility of lying flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, since it aids in better back and lung development. Cocoons or carrycots are available on many prams . They create a nest-like environment that is a comfortable place for your baby and can be removed easily from the frame. Some seats, like the bucket-style seat on egg2, aren't able to recline completely flat, but provide the comfort of your child.Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily change between sitting and sleeping modes based on your baby's requirements. It is often described as a "travel system" and is the first configuration that you should try out with your baby.Choose a stroller with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a five-point safety harness that fits your baby's body securely. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable to use - especially for older children. It is also important to think about if you would like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is great for keeping an ear on your child and helps them feel more secure by being able to see their parents.Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me have an awesome raise and lower function that brings your baby right up to your face at the push of an button, which our parent testers really loved! This is a great method to keep eye contact with your baby and stay in touch, particularly when they're sleeping. If you are looking for an infant 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 and car.ConvenienceWhen you are shopping for a new baby's pram, it is essential to consider your baby's transport needs. Some prams include a bassinet, carrycot or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is important for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It is also important to know the other accessories that are included in the pram, such as the footmuff and the changing bag. These are essential to keep your baby warm when it is cold.It's also worth noting that some prams and strollers can be transformed into travel systems permitting you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors so that you can easily transfer your baby between the car and the pushchair without having to wake them up. These can be useful when you live a busy schedule or don't have the sufficient space for pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram.Another feature you may want to look out for is the ability to raise and lower your newborn's seat from a low setting to a high setting, which helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found very useful for her 10-month old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me which can be lowered to allow your child to 'glide into your arms by pressing a button and stay in constant eye contact.You should be able to put shopping bags and changing bags in the basket beneath. It should be possible to store bags for changing and shopping beneath the pram (but be aware that too much weight can cause it to topple over). If you're not sure which one to pick, check various models at the local store.
