Always read the directions and read the warning labels on your pram or stroller. 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.

Hanging bags or other objects from the handles is not recommended since they could fall and strike your child on the head.

Comfort

It is vital that newborns have the option to lie flat as this aids in lung and back development. Cocoons or carriers are available 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. Certain seats, like the bucket-style seat on the egg2, don't recline completely flat, but offer an enjoyable ride for your child.

Be sure that there aren't any gaps or loose areas in which fingers can get caught, and that the buckles are easy to use, especially for older children. It's also worth considering whether you'd like a pram with a parent-facing feature or not.

These are great for those who live a hectic lifestyle or you do not have enough space in your car boot to accommodate the pram. However, you should be aware that you'll need to wait until your child is old enough to sit up on their own before you convert them from a car capsule into 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 helps maintain eye contact with them and keeps them close to you, something that our parent tester found really useful with her 10-month-old boy! A good example is the Graco Near2Me, that can be adjusted to lower the seat, allowing your little one to 'glide towards you by pressing an button and maintain constant eye contact.

Also, ensure that your pram newborn has a sturdy base and wheels that are able to handle potholes and bumps. Also, make sure you are able to fold it down easily, and check that the safety harness you use is safe and fits comfortably (five-point rather than three-point) and is adjustable as your child grows.
