What should be a stroller for a newborn
Only heavy classic strollers with a cushioned frame and inflatable or gel wheels can provide a peaceful sleep for a child on the street.
For winter newborns, their baskets should be deep and as insulated as possible. But a summer child is better to take a model with a well-ventilated cradle, a wooden bottom and soft walls without solid plastic inserts.
It is desirable that the wheels of a heavy carriage be equipped with bearings, otherwise it will be difficult to roll such a “ship” even on a flat road.
For the city, where the maneuverability and compactness of the stroller is important, manufacturers offer books and canes on a narrow chassis with swiveling front wheels. As a rule, they are well-considered Germans and expensive Italians. But if you are looking for a simpler, cheaper model, remember the lack of stability of the newfangled frames. Choose those strollers where the cradle is located low from the ground and the rear and front axles are of different lengths.
Almost all modern strollers for newborns can be retrofitted with pleasure blocks. But even if the seat 6 months + is included, it is better that the cradle still had an adjustable backrest. So the baby will be able to roll in a reclining position at 4-5 months, look at mom when she is awake, and at the same time will be less naughty for a walk.
Well, pay attention to the weight - both the stroller and the cradle, because you will carry the latter in your hands with your child more often than you expect. In different models, boxes can weigh from 3 to 7 kg. Add to this the ever-increasing weight of the baby and decide for yourself whether you are able to lift such a weight or if you need to look for something easier.
This information is enough for you to identify the basic requirements for the first transport of your baby. For more information about the choice of strollers for newborns can be found in our other article. In the meantime, we offer to get acquainted with the best new products on the wheelchair market.
