The most essential requirements for any stroller or pram are to have a working brake, a five-point safety harness (2 shoulder straps, 2 waist straps, and the Crotch strap) and a wrist tether strap for the person who is pushing the pram.

Always read the directions and look at the warning labels on your stroller newborn or pram. You should also make sure that your pram is parked in a safe location away from bicycles, traffic or any other dangers when it's not 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 pram to become trapped or even suffocate.

A folding stroller or pram should not be left unattended with a baby inside even if they are asleep. They may squirm into the pram and become trapped, or it could slide away and cause injury. Hanging bags, or other items from the handles isn't a good thing because they could fall and strike your child in the head.

Comfort

It is crucial that babies are able to lie flat, as this promotes lung and back development. Many prams have cocoons or carrycots that creates a warm, nest-like environment for your infant and can be easily detached from the frame. Others, like the egg2's bucket style seat don't recline to lie flat, but they still provide a comfy ride for your baby.

Be sure that there aren't any gaps or areas that are loose in which fingers can get caught and that the buckles are easy to use - especially for older children. Also, think about if you would like a parent-facing pram. It is great for keeping an ear on your child and makes them feel more secure by having their parents around.

Our testers with parents loved the feature of some prams like the Graco Near2Me, which allows you to raise your baby and lower it at the touch of the button.

If you're searching for a travel system compatible with the car capsule you choose, you will not have to wake your baby up to switch between the car and pram.

Convenience

When buying a pram newborn it is crucial to think about your baby's transport needs. Some prams have a carrycot or bassinet, which allows your baby to be laid flat (essential for their spinal development and breathing) while others come with seats that recline to a lie-flat position. It is important to look at what other accessories the pram has, such as a changing bag and footmuff which are essential for keeping your baby warm in the colder winter months.

It's worth noting that certain strollers and prams can be converted into travel systems, which allows you to connect a car capsule to the frame using adaptors, to allow you to easily transfer your child between the car and the pushchair without having to get them up. These are useful if your lifestyle is busy or you do not have enough space in your car's boot to accommodate a pram. But, you must keep in mind that you'll need wait until your baby is old enough to sit on their own before you convert them from a car capsule into compact pushchair.

Another feature to keep an eye on is the ability to raise and lower your infant's seat from a low to a high setting, which allows you to maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, which our parent tester found extremely useful for her 10-month-old boy! One example is the Graco Near2Me which allows your child to glide closer to you at the push of an button.

Finally, make sure your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that can withstand potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you can fold it down with ease, and check that the safety harness you use is safe, fits comfortably and securely (five-point instead of three-point) and is able to be adjusted as your child grows. It should be possible to store bags for changing and shopping under the pram (but keep in mind that excessive weight could cause it to topple over). If you are unsure of which one to pick, check different models at the local store.
