Safety

Newborns are incredibly fragile and need to be protected as much as you can. Buying a pram or stroller with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and secure during travel. A pram or stroller must have a break that works and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps; 2 waist straps; and a crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Be sure that the model you are considering is up to the standards before you buy.

Find a pram which allows your baby to ride in the position recommended for lying flat. This position supports the baby and helps prevent an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which can cause spinal problems. By keeping the airways open, it lowers the risk for SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used right from birth. They come with an adjustable seat that reclines to lay flat for younger infants and converts into a pushchair unit for older children.

The suspension on the pram is crucial because it can affect how smooth the ride. A pram that has many spring suspensions will cost more however it is worth the extra cost in the event that you plan to use your pram every day for a few years or more.

Always read the instructions and carefully read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. You should also make sure that your stroller is placed in a safe spot free of bicycles, traffic or other hazards when it isn't being used. Also, you should remove any bags or other objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to get caught or suffocate.

Even if the baby seems asleep, it's never a good idea to leave a pram or stroller unattended. They could wriggle into the pram and become stuck, or be pushed away and cause injuries. It is also not a good idea to hang bags or other items on the handles since they could fall and hit your baby in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is a essential for infants because it helps improve lung and back development. Carrycots or cocoons are found on many prams. They create a cozy environment that is comfortable for your baby and can be detached easily from the frame. Others, 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 also feature a separate bassinet, newborn stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sitting and sleeping modes according to your baby's needs. It is commonly described as a "travel system and is the very first configuration you should try with your newborn.

Find a pram that has two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body securely. Make sure there are no gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are comfortable to use, particularly for older children. Also, think about if you would like an adult-facing pram. It is ideal for keeping an ear on your child, and makes them feel more secure seeing their parents.

Some prams, like the Graco Near2Me, have an awesome raise and lower feature that can bring your baby close to your face with the push chairs and prams of a button, which our parent testers loved! This is a great method of keeping in touch with your baby, especially if they are asleep. If you're looking for an appropriate travel system, be sure whether the frame is compatible with your car capsule and this will prevent you having to wake them up every time you're changing between car, pram and back again.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's needs for transport. Some prams include 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 recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to check what other accessories are included in the pram, like a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it's cold.

Some strollers and prams can be converted to travel systems. You can connect an auto pod to the frame using adaptors, so you can move your child from the car to the pushchair without disturbing them. These can be useful if you have a busy schedule or don't have the big enough boot for pram capsules, but it is worth bearing in mind that your baby must be old enough and able to sit on their own before you can switch between the car capsule and pram.

Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son who was 10 months old was a wonderful feature. A good example is the Graco Near2Me that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide towards you at the press of a button and stay in constant eye contact.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a solid base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Ensure that you are able to fold it down with ease and ensure that the safety harness is functional that fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows. You should also be able store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although remember that putting on excessive weight can cause it to tip over). If you're unsure of which model to go with, try some different models at your local retailer.
