Buying a Pram Newborn

Parents and caregivers can rely on prams and pushchairs to be versatile and multi-functional. They are the co-pilots of your child's next adventure.

A Pram newborn (www.valeriarp.com.tr) is designed for newborns and babies and has an incredibly sturdy, deep carrycot with soft and secure walls.

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

Safety

The newborns of today are extremely fragile and must be protected as much as is possible. Buying a pram or my babiie stroller equipped with safety features will ensure that your baby is comfortable and safe during their travels. The essential requirements for any pram or stroller include a functioning brake, a 5-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, two 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.

Look for a pram that allows your baby to be seated in the suggested lie-flat position. This position helps support the baby and prevents an unintentionally dangerous curve in the spine which could cause spinal issues. 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 a seat unit which reclines into a lay-flat position for infants. It can also be converted into a pushchair for older children.

The suspension of the pram will determine how smoothly it rides. A pram with lots of suspension is likely to be more expensive but it could be worth the cost of this feature if you intend on using your pram everyday for a few years or more.

Always read the directions and carefully read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. Also, ensure that your stroller is parked in a safe location free of bicycles, traffic or any other potential hazards when it's not being used. It is important to remove any bags or items off the handles, as they could cause your baby to be caught or suffocate.

A pram or stroller should not be left alone with a baby inside even if they're asleep. They can get wriggling and become trapped, or the pram may roll away and they could be injured. Hanging bags or other objects from the handles is not an ideal idea because they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

Having the option of lie flat seating is an absolute must for newborns, since it aids in better back and lung development. Many prams have a cocoon or carrycot that creates a cosy, nest-like environment for your baby and can be easily detached from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket-style seat, do not recline to lay flat, but offer a comfortable ride to your baby.

Some prams also feature an extra bassinet, newborn inset or stroller seat, so you can easily switch between sleeping and sitting modes depending on your bub's needs. It is commonly called a 'travel system and is the very first thing you should do with your newborn.

Choose a stroller with two straps for the shoulder, ideally padded and a five-point safety harness. It should fit your baby's body perfectly. Make sure there aren't any gaps or loose places where fingers could be trapped. Also, ensure that the buckles are simple for older children to operate. It is also important to think about if you would like a pram that is oriented towards parents. It is ideal to keep an eye on your child, and makes them feel more secure by seeing their parents.

Some prams, such as the Graco Near2Me have a handy raise and lower feature that brings your baby up to your face at the push of an button, which our parent testers loved! This is an excellent way to stay connected to your baby, especially if they're sleeping. If you're looking for an infant travel system that is compatible with the car capsule you choose it is not necessary to wake your baby to switch between the pram and the car.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's needs for transport. Some prams have the option of a carrycot or bassinet which allows your baby to lay flat (essential for their development of their spine and breathing) while others have a seat that can recline to a lying-flat position. It is also important to know the other accessories included in the pram, like a footmuff or a changing bag. These are essential for keeping your baby warm when it is cold.

It's worth noting that certain prams and strollers can be converted into travel systems, permitting you to connect a car capsule to the frame via adaptors so that you can transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without needing to get them up. These are great when you have a busy schedule or you don't have enough space in your car boot to fit a pram. But, you must keep in mind that you will need to wait until your baby is old enough to sit up on their own before you change them from a car capsule to the pushchair.

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

Also, ensure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that are able to handle bumps and potholes and that you can fold it up easily, and check that the safety harness is functional and fits comfortably (five-point rather than 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 pick, check out a few different models at the local retailer.
