Buying a Pram Newborn Parents and caregivers can depend on pushchairs and prams to be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots on the new journey of your child. A pram for newborns is a must for infants and newborns. It comes with a an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls. A pram is equipped with a bassinet. However, it can also be converted into a stroller when the baby is ready. Safety Newborns must be protected as much as is possible. Purchasing push chairs and prams or pram equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is secure and safe during their travels. A stroller or pram must include a break that is working and a 5-point harness (2 shoulder straps and two waist straps and an e-crotch belt) and a wrist tether for the person driving it. Check that your chosen pram meets these standards before purchasing. Find a pram that allows your infant to ride in the recommended lying flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and helps prevent a potentially dangerous curve in the spine which can cause spinal problems. It also lowers the chance of SUID (Sudden Unexpected Infant Death Syndrome) or asphyxiation, by keeping the airways open. Most prams can be used as early as the moment of birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat mode for younger infants and converts into a pushchair unit for older children. The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram with lots of suspension is likely to be more costly but it may be worth it to purchase this feature if you intend to use your pram daily for a few years or longer. Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, place your stroller in a safe area away from any potential hazards such as bicycles, traffic or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even suffocate. A pram or stroller should not be left alone with a baby in it, even if they are asleep. They could get squirming into the pram and become trapped, or it could slide away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't an ideal idea since they could fall and strike your child on the head. Comfort Possibility of lying flat seating is an absolute essential for infants since it aids in better back and lung development. Cocoons or carrycots are found on many prams. They create a nest-like environment that is a comfortable place 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 provide a comfy ride for your baby. Some prams also have an additional bassinet, infant stroller or inset seat so that you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes depending on your bub's requirements. It is commonly referred to as a 'travel system' and is the first option you should test with your newborn. Look for a pram with two shoulder straps (ideally with padding) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your child's body safely. Be sure there aren't gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught and that the buckles are simple to use – especially for older children. It is also important to consider whether you want a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is great to keep an eye on your child and helps them feel more secure by having their parents around. Our parents who tested the product loved the feature of certain prams like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby at the push of a button. This is a great method of keeping eye contact with your baby, and stay in touch, especially when they're sleeping. If you're looking to purchase a travel system, make sure to check the frame's compatibility with your car capsule to avoid the need to wake them up every time you're changing between pram, car and back again. Convenience It is important to consider your baby's transportation needs when you purchase a new baby's pram. Some prams have an infant bassinet, carrycot or seat that reclines to an upright position. This is important for your baby's spinal development and breathing. You should also check the other accessories included in the pram, like a footmuff and changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it is cold. It's important to note that some strollers and prams can be transformed into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule with 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 for those who have a hectic lifestyle or don't have a big enough boot for pram capsules, but it's worth keeping in mind that your baby will need to be old enough and able to sit independently before you can switch them from car capsule to pram. Our tester's mother found that the ability to raise or lower the seat of her son's 10 months old was a great feature. One good example is the Graco Near2Me, that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide into your arms with the push 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 also be able store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although be aware that loading the pram with too much weight can cause it to tip over). If you're not sure what model to choose, try out a few different models at the local retailer.
