15 Presents For Your Pram Newborn Lover In Your Life

Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can rely on prams and pushchairs that can be multi-functional and versatile. They are the co-pilots for your child's journey.

A pram for newborns is designed for newborns and babies. It has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and safe walls.

A pram will typically come with a bassinet. However, it can be converted into a stroller seat once baby is ready.

Safety

Newborns are extremely fragile and need to be protected as much as you can. A stroller or pram equipped with safety features will keep your baby safe and comfortable during travel. The basic requirements for any stroller or pram include a functioning brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two waist straps, and a strap for the crotch) and a wrist tether strap for the person pushing the pram. Make sure that the pram you choose is in compliance with these requirements before purchasing.

Find a stroller that allows your baby to ride in the recommended lying-flat position. This position is supportive for the baby and prevents a potentially dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. By keeping the airways open, it reduces the chance of SUID (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or Asphyxiation). Most prams are able to be used from the moment of the time of birth. They come with a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat mode for infants. It can also be converted into a folding pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smooth it runs. A pram that has a lot of suspension is likely to be more costly but it could be worth paying for this feature if you are planning to use your pram daily for a few years or longer.

Always read the directions and carefully read the warning labels on your stroller or pram. When not using it, keep your stroller away from potential dangers like bicycles, traffic or other people. It is recommended to remove any bags or objects from the handles as they could cause your baby to become trapped or even die.

Even if your baby is asleep, it's never an ideal idea to leave a stroller or pram unattended. They may squirm into the pram and become stuck, or be pushed away and cause injuries. It's also not recommended to hang bags or other objects from the handles because they could fall and strike your baby's head.

Comfort

Possibility of lying flat seating is a essential for infants since it aids in better back and lung development. Many prams have a carrycot or cocoon that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your newborn and is able to be removed from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat, don't recline to lie flat but still offer a comfortable ride for your baby.

Some prams have a separate seat or bassinet for a newborn. This lets you easily switch between the sitting and sleeping positions based on the requirements of your baby. This is sometimes referred to as a "travel system" and is the initial configuration that you should try out with your newborn.

Look for a pram For newborn with two shoulder straps (ideally cushioned) and a functional five-point safety harness that fits your bub's body safely. Make sure there are no gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught and that the buckles are comfortable to use, particularly for older children. It is also important to think about if you would like a parent-facing running pram. It is great for keeping an ear on your child, and makes them feel more secure by seeing their parents.

Our parents who tested the product enjoyed the features of some prams, like the Graco Near2Me which allows you to raise your baby at the touch of a button. This is a great way to keep connected to your baby, especially when they're sleeping. If you are seeking a travel system compatible with the car capsule you pick it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the pram and car.

Convenience

It is essential to consider the needs of your baby's transportation when buying a newborn pram. Some prams have a bassinet, carrycot or a seat that reclines to a flat position. This is essential for your baby's development of the spine and breathing. It's also a good idea to look at what other accessories are included in the pram, such as a changing bag and footmuff which are essential to keep your baby warm in colder months.

Some prams and strollers can be converted to travel systems. You can connect a car pod to a frame using adaptors, so you can move your baby from the car to the pushchair with car seat without waking them. These can be useful if you have a busy schedule or don't have the large enough car boot to accommodate prams, however it is worth bearing in mind that your child must be old enough and able to sit independently before you can change them from car capsule to pram.

Another feature to consider is the possibility of raising and lowering your newborn's seat from a low to a high setting, which keeps eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me that allows your child to 'glide closer to you at the touch of the button.

You should also be able to keep bags for shopping and changing in the basket underneath. You should also be able to store shopping and changing bags inside the basket beneath (although remember that loading the pram with too much weight could cause it to tip over). If you are unsure of what to choose, try out some different models at your local store.
