Choosing an infant stroller

It's important to select the right pram that is built well and durable, that has all the features your baby will require and is simple to use. It should also fit your family's lifestyle and needs. For example you might want to choose a model with an extra basket to hold groceries, or an organizer for parents (also called of a "pram caddy") to have a place to keep your keys and other essentials.

It might be a shock to learn that there is an important distinction between a stroller and a pram however it makes sense. Prams allow babies to lay flat and are intended for babies up to 6 months old. However, strollers come with seats that recline, and can be converted into a car seat.

It's an excellent idea to test it out in the shop before purchasing, if possible to test it on different surfaces and in tight spaces.

It is also important to consider whether you are aware of the gender of your child and, in the event that you do, are you planning to paint the pram a particular color (for instance, blue for boys and pink for girls)? If you're not sure however, you can opt for a neutral colour such as black or grey. The safety features of the pram are worth looking into, and it's important to make sure the model you choose meets the Australian government's Product Safety Guidelines. This includes a five-point harness and the rear-facing seat that has an adjustable hood. Some models have a side-facing seat, and a bassinet. You should also ensure that the harness and tether straps are easily accessible, as you'll need to take them off them while your baby sleeps.

Bassinet

Newborns should lay flat during sleep as it is essential for their development. If they are sitting up, they won't be able to support their own weight, and this could affect their breathing. Bassinets allow you to place your baby in an upright position. They typically come with breathable side panels. There are also models that come with a canopy to provide sun protection.

Look at the decorative posts on a few bassinets. They could get caught on clothing and cause a baby to be injured. Make sure the bassinet's slats are spaced far enough apart to ensure security. You could end up with an apprehension of suffocation risk in the event that they are too close. All bassinets made after January 2016 must comply with mandatory safety standards. Older models may not.

If you want a pram that you can use with your newborn then you'll need to select one with the bassinet attachment. Look for models that have an option for parents to face the baby so that you can easily see your baby as they sleep in the bassinet. You can also interact with your baby and help him while you are on the move.
