Types of strollers for newborns

Classic cradles

This stroller is designed for children from birth to 6 – maximum 8 months. Such models, as a rule, have a large comfortable cradle with a hard bottom, good protection from adverse weather conditions. The cradle itself is placed on a base with large inflatable wheels, it has excellent cross-country ability and shock absorption. But after the baby begins to sit, you will have to buy a new stroller. That is, the time of using the classic cradle is very short. At the same time, the price of good quality models that have reliably proven themselves will not be small.

Modular strollers

This option just solves the problem of purchasing a second stroller after the baby is six months old. There are 2 in 1 models on the market, which include a cradle and a walking block, and 3 in 1, which also includes a car seat. Such models are very popular, they have good driving characteristics, as a rule, they have swivel front wheels of a smaller diameter, which makes the stroller more maneuverable. The inconvenience of such options is that you need to store removable modules somewhere, the price will also be high, the weight of such strollers is quite large.

Transformers strollers

In this version, there are no removable blocks, and the cradle is easily transformed into a walking block and vice versa. Some believe that a transformer is not the best option for a newborn, since the cradle does not have a hard bottom. But this problem is easily solved by purchasing a hard coconut mattress (often it is already included). The stroller is quite compact when folded, it is convenient to store and transport it. At the same time, the prices of most transformer models are noticeably lower than those of classic cradles and modules. But at the same time, such strollers are inferior to the first two in terms of the quality of depreciation, the seat for the baby is not so large, and the landing is rather low.

How to choose a stroller for a newborn

Choosing a stroller depends on many parameters. In addition to its main characteristics – patency, depreciation, the size of the bed, the quality of the materials, you need to consider when the baby was born and at what time the stroller will be used. It is important which roads you will walk on: whether it will be smooth city sidewalks or forest parks and other difficult places. In any case, before making a purchase, you should carefully study the advantages and disadvantages of different models, reviews of parents who have already used these strollers.

Let’s look at the main characteristics when choosing a stroller for a newborn.

Stroller dimensions and weight

Of course, everyone wants to have a compact, neat, lightweight stroller that would easily fit into any elevator, and if necessary, it could be easily moved over obstacles. But if we are talking about a stroller for a newborn, then this option cannot be found. The purpose of such a stroller is to be a reliable, comfortable and safe transport for the baby. And this is a strong wheelbase and a spacious, roomy cradle. Such a stroller cannot weigh a little. You need to understand that you will not find a stroller lighter than 13-14 kilograms for a newborn. Therefore, be sure to measure the dimensions of the elevator before buying to be sure that the stroller will fit into it.

Wheels

The stroller for a newborn has four wheels (there are models with one front wheel, but there are not many of them). In classic cradles, all four are usually the same size, quite large. The larger the diameter of the wheels, the smoother the ride of the stroller and the less bumps are felt. With the presence of front swivel wheels, the stroller becomes more maneuverable, it is easier to control.

Wheels can be inflatable or rubber. The first ones provide a soft ride and better patency, but they need to be pumped up and can be pierced. The second ones are more reliable, but less comfortable in movement.

Depreciation

But despite what kind of wheels the stroller has, an additional shock absorption system is important, which softens shocks on bumps, rough roads. Unfortunately, in our cities it is almost impossible to find ideal routes for walking. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to this point when choosing a stroller. Depreciation can be spring or belt, the meaning is the same: special devices (springs, belts) absorb shocks and vibrations on uneven roads so that the newborn feels comfortable while walking. To understand if the stroller you want to buy has good cushioning, shake it as it should, the cradle should move smoothly relative to the chassis.

Handle height adjustment

Another important parameter. After all, not only mom will walk with the baby, but also dad, and maybe even grandparents. Everyone is different height, so it should be possible to adjust the handle for yourself. In addition, it is often the handle that serves as an obstacle to closing the elevator doors. Raising it up will solve the problem. Most strollers have this feature. When buying, it is worth evaluating how easily the handle rises and falls, whether the buttons stick, the more positions, the better.

Stroller folding mechanism

The mechanism for folding the base of strollers for newborns, as a rule, is one – a book. Pay attention to how convenient it is to do this or how much effort you need to make. How compact will the stroller be when folded, will it fit in the trunk of your car. In addition, many models have removable wheels. This is also an additional plus when transporting and storing the stroller.

Materials

The upholstery of the stroller is most often made of fabric or eco-leather. At the same time, textiles must necessarily have water-repellent impregnation so that the stroller is protected from getting wet and dirt, and caring for it is as simple and convenient as possible. Inside, the cradle should be trimmed only with natural cotton fabrics so that the newborn is as comfortable and safe as possible.

As for colors, today their choice is unusually wide. But it is worth noting that most of the models are still made in soothing pastel colors, as well as dark brown, blue, gray, black. Although there are very bright options for shades of pink, yellow, turquoise. These strollers look very nice and stylish, but these colors can fade in the sun. Keep this in mind.

Accessories

The presence of accessories is certainly an important point, because they make the walk of the baby and mother convenient and comfortable. In the basic configuration, as a rule, there is a mosquito net, a raincoat, a sun visor, a bag for mom, a shopping basket (it can be fabric and metal), additional covers, if we are talking about a walking block and an infant carrier as part of a stroller. Some models also include a cup holder, umbrella, winter muff or mittens.

When purchasing a stroller, evaluate how long you will use it and what accessories you will need, if they are not in the basic package, you should buy them additionally.
