Types of strollers for newborns. Mothers share their experience: how to choose a stroller. Newborn stroller for spring: important accessories

In a modern children's supermarket, the choice of baby carriages is simply amazing! For every taste and wallet, you can choose a stroller of a wide variety of colors and shapes, purchase both a classic budget model, and get an ultra-modern stroller equipped with the latest technology.

From such a huge choice, a young and inexperienced mother can fall into a stupor: all strollers are good, but which one should you give your preference? Which model is right for a newborn baby? And is it worth taking a classic stroller with a carrycot? Or is it better to buy a stroller with a removable seat unit included? Do not be alarmed - everything is much easier than you think. You just need to know about some important details!

Now let's dwell on this in more detail.

What stroller to buy for a newborn for summer or winter?

First of all, the mother needs to decide exactly what kind of stroller she wants to buy for the child. If the budget does not allow in the future to easily change the classic stroller with a carrycot for a stroller, then give preference to the 2-in-1 or even 3-in-1 models. The latter is suitable if your family has a car.

Strollers of the 3-in-1 configuration have a comfortable cradle for newborns, a removable seat unit, and a car seat. 2-in-1 strollers usually have either a stroller unit in addition to the carrycot, or a child car seat for a passenger car. You can save a lot by buying a fully loaded model right away!

You should also consider other important features when choosing a baby stroller. For example, the cradle should be roomy and wide enough, especially if the newborn is to be walked in it when it is winter outside. Warm clothes and a fur envelope will certainly add height and volume to the baby, and it is not at all possible to squeeze a five-month-old baby in a winter overalls into a narrow cradle.

If you live in a house without a ramp, in a high-rise building, or if you have a very narrow elevator at the entrance, then you need to buy the most lightweight and not cumbersome model of a stroller.

Pay attention to lightweight strollers that fold and unfold easily. Some of them have a special telescopic system that allows you to remove the cradle with a newborn and fold the stroller frame with one hand! It is very convenient.

Wheels and shock absorption in summer and winter

Another important nuance: wheels and shock absorption! Of course, it is best to choose models with massive, large and inflatable wheels. Such strollers go well and smoothly on any road, they are not afraid of bumps, snowfall or bumps. And thanks to a special shock-absorbing system, the model does not shake on bumps. The child can sleep peacefully inside the cradle, without shaking on every unevenness. But such wheelchairs have one drawback, which is often decisive: they are heavy and often do not fit into a standard elevator.

Equipment

Depending on the brand and model, the equipment also differs. Most manufacturers supply each stroller with the following additions:

  • Winter foot cover;
  • Raincoat;
  • A bag for mom;
  • A shopping basket, which is attached under the baby bassinet;
  • A clutch (or mittens) for hands, which is attached to the handle of the stroller in the cold season;
  • Five-point seat belts.

Pay attention to the weight of the stroller if you have to lift and lower the stairs. Even a lightweight model will become much heavier with a clothed child inside! In such cases, the weight and width of the wheelbase are decisive criteria. The lightweight variants have small wheels and a hollow folding chassis to keep the overall weight of the stroller as low as possible.

If the house provides for a convenient entrance, there is a spacious elevator or you live in a private sector, then there is no need to pay attention to the weight of the stroller. Give preference to models with large wheels to increase the comfort for the newborn and the off-road ability.

Pay attention to the weight of the stroller.

Top best and proven strollers

The most common and favorite companies for mothers are:

  • Little Trek,
  • Bebecar,
  • Geoby,
  • Inglesina,
  • Zippy,
  • Chicco
  • Tako,
  • Coletto,
  • Cosatto
  • ABC-Design,
  • Capella,
  • Quinny,
  • Bebetto,
  • Stokke,
  • Adamex.

Of course, this is far from the entire list of manufacturing firms, but only the most popular and proven part of them. The modern market has a huge number of prams for newborns, and every year their number is only growing.

Among the expensive and elite models, parents most of all love the Inglesina brand made in Italy and the Norwegian innovations from Stokke. The first company is distinguished by classic design, sophistication of the wheelbase, and elegance of forms. Stokke, on the other hand, tries to keep up with the times and pleases parents with a futuristic design and ergonomics.

The budget brands Tako, Geoby, Capella and Little Trek are in great demand among young parents. The latter brand has especially fallen in love with domestic mothers over the past few years, because strollers are made in Russia, have a low cost, but at the same time have decent quality. The brand regularly updates its assortment, and a wide selection of strollers for newborns allows you to purchase exactly the model that suits a particular family.

The best-selling and inexpensive strollers of Russian and foreign production

Over the past year, the top three selling strollers for newborns were:

  1. Inglesina sofia
  2. Stroller 2 in 1 Adamex Avila Eco
  3. Little Trek Classic

Inglesina Sofia has a classic and discreet design. The carrycot of the stroller is wide enough to provide the little one with room, even in winter clothes. It is a great choice for the cold season. The absence of unnecessary details, catchy accents and the smooth roundness of the forms are timeless and strict classics and European quality.

Little Trek has an affordable price and decent quality.

The 2-in-1 stroller Adamex Avila Eco is an affordable model with a narrow wheelbase that will easily fit into a small elevator. The price of the stroller is low, in contrast to the first option. Also, this model has a walking block included. The Polish brand took into account all the important details, and therefore the model is equipped with a warming cover for the legs, a mosquito net, a bag for mom and a shopping basket, a raincoat.

The Russian brand Little Trek fell in love with mothers in the Classic model, because it has the lightest weight of all strollers with cradles for newborns (only 12 kg), but at the same time it boasts good wheels that provide normal cross-country ability, and the width of the chassis allows you to drive with a stroller even in the narrowest lift. This is an inexpensive option and decent quality.

Nuances when choosing a lightweight stroller

Since manufacturers facilitate strollers for newborns by reducing the wheels, make the chassis and base from more weightless metal, such models are considered more "flimsy". And it is important to pay attention to some details when choosing such a stroller. For example:

  • Plastic wheels can shake and rumble violently while driving;
  • Check with the seller about the presence of a shock-absorbing system or suspension, because without them the stroller will jump strongly on every bump;
  • Check how easy the wheelbase is to fold, whether it is convenient for you to remove the cradle from it;
  • Make sure the infant cradle is wide and deep enough.

It is better not to choose those models that have too small wheels, narrow or shallow cradle. Such strollers can go very badly on snowy roads in winter, and babies in warm clothes will stick out of the cradle.

It is better to choose a model with medium and always inflatable wheels!

Observe the position of the backrest in the seat unit before purchasing. For example, if the backrest can be lowered completely horizontally, then in the summer it is possible to put a baby in a stroller so that he does not sweat and overheat in a cradle closed on all sides. The five-point seat belts will securely fix the baby and prevent him from slipping.

And do not forget to check the wheelbase width with the seller! If your house has a small passenger elevator with a narrow doorway, then the width of the chassis should not exceed 60 centimeters, otherwise the stroller simply will not go inside.

It is not difficult to get lost in the variety of strollers nowadays. We asked the mothers of our site how to choose the perfect stroller.

Types of strollers

There are two main types of strollers - bassinets (closed) and walking (open) strollers.

For the first six months of life, the child usually sleeps while walking, so a cradle stroller is suitable for him, in which it is convenient to lie. But after 6–8 months, when the child's spine has already grown stronger, and he sits confidently, you can switch to a stroller. It is usually actively used up to 2-3 years.

You can buy two strollers: a cradle for the first six months and a stroller for later. And you can choose one stroller "2 in 1" and even "3 in 1". Such kits include: in the first version, a chassis and two bodies, and in the second - also a car seat.

Which of the three options is more convenient - the decision is individual. Here, the season plays a role, and the financial capabilities of the parents, and in general the scale of the use of the stroller (in the absence of a car, the third version of the stroller, for example, disappears by itself).

How to choose

After examining all the comments of mothers, we have compiled a list of the most important characteristics that you must first pay attention to when choosing a stroller for your baby. We arranged them in descending order: from the most important and popular (which many wrote about) to the least significant.

1. Cross-country ability and maneuverability

Yes, in the harsh Russian winter, as well as with the quality of domestic roads, this is the factor for many mothers that is key when choosing a stroller. And since the "walking" part of the baby's life is almost entirely borne by the fragile shoulders of a woman, the fairer sex, the maneuverable qualities of the stroller again become of paramount importance.

So, pay attention to the wheels. They should be large, with a strong tread. The larger the wheels, the more stable and passable the stroller.

Many mothers speak well of rubber wheels - they have good shock absorption and flotation in puddles and snow.

For ease of use, mothers choose strollers with wheels that rotate 360 ​​°. It is only desirable that the wheels can be fixed if necessary.

The handle is also responsible for the maneuverability of the stroller. Therefore, it is desirable that the handle of the stroller can be adjusted not only in height, but also can be thrown from one side to the other. Such a reversible handle saves in windy weather, for example, and sometimes kids just like to sit in a stroller facing their mother.

2. Dimensions

In fact, this factor may take the first place on our list. It all depends on where the family lives. If this is your home, then size hardly matters. But if you live in a multi-storey building with an elevator, then the first thing you should do before going to the store is to measure the width of the doorway of your apartment, as well as the width and depth of the elevator.

3. Does the stroller fold

It is important to pay attention to the compactness of the stroller when folded (this is important in a family with a car) and the ease of folding.
Almost all modern strollers fold into more or less compact designs that can be conveniently stored on the balcony or at the front door. When choosing a stroller, be sure to look and try how it folds. Among other things, the stroller should be easy to store. Therefore, fold the stroller, see how much space it takes up, whether the wheels can be easily removed.

4. Weight

The stroller should not be heavy. Moreover, the fragile mother will have to lift it again. Evaluate your strength in the store.

5. Fabric

Practical mothers worry in advance about the appearance of the stroller after prolonged use. Pay attention to whether the fabric is removable (and how easily), whether it is washed off.

6. Bag and pockets

Toys, diapers, bottles - all this must be put somewhere during the walk. For this, a special pocket and a bag are usually provided in the stroller. The more it fits, the better. However, do not forget that the weight of the stroller will increase if you load it with excess.

7. Accessories

Raincoat, mesh, foot sleeve, bottle holder, etc. - all these are pleasant additions, which are optional and the most important points when choosing a stroller.

A baby stroller is one of the most important purchases for a baby in the first year of life. It is impossible to imagine long walks in the fresh air without it. The correct stroller is the key to the harmonious physiological development of the baby, therefore, you need to choose a vehicle for your baby wisely.

Before deciding which "vehicle" is better to buy for a baby, you first need to find out about the types of prams and what should be included in their package.

Classification

There are several types of modern strollers that are able to provide comfort and protection to a newborn: a classic cradle stroller, a transformer stroller, multi-module strollers of a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 configuration. Which one is better to choose - decide based on your needs, and the following information can help you with this.

Classic carrycot

The classic carrycot stroller is considered the best means of transportation for babies. It has large wheels for stability and a rigid carrycot with a horizontal bottom. The cradle is larger than in other types of strollers, it is located high enough, which is convenient for parents, a dense frame with high sides protects from the wind. A significant number of cradles in such wheelchairs are equipped with a thermoregulation system.

Of the minuses of the classic cradle stroller, one can note its impressive dimensions., a rather large weight, which makes it problematic to overcome the elevator and staircase sections. As soon as the baby learns to sit, you will have to buy a walking version of the stroller.

IMPORTANT! The main task of the carrycot is to ensure a healthy long sleep for the baby. The perfectly flat and hard surface of the bed ensures the formation of a healthy spine for the baby, this should be borne in mind when choosing a stroller.

"Transformer"

The "transformer" stroller easily turns from a cradle stroller into a walking version, which allows you to use it from the first days of life until the moment when the baby is confident to walk without the help of a stroller. Transformers are lighter than classic wheelchairs, they have a more compact body, good cross-country ability, and can be easily folded. These strollers are often equipped with fold-over handles.

The stroller "transformer" does not have a solid frame... To walk with a newborn, you will have to unfold the walking block in such a way that a niche is formed into which a soft cradle or envelope is placed. This version of the stroller is more suitable if the baby was born in spring, or in a city with a mild climate, where there are no strong winds.

Among all types of prams, the "transformer" stroller is popular with young parents due to its versatility and affordable price.

Modular

Modular strollers are considered the most popular and are distinguished by their high cost. Their peculiarity is that one of two or three units can be installed on one chassis. The 2-in-1 package has two modules: a cradle and a walking body.

The 3-in-1 models also include a car seat... These strollers provide comfort for the entire period during which the baby will need a stroller. In most models of such strollers, the module for newborns is in no way inferior to the cradle in a classic stroller, which is a big plus.

It is better to buy a stroller right after the baby is born. Based on the indicators of its weight.

How to choose the right one?

The size

Strollers for newborns are not compact... But you can choose the stroller that is optimal in size. The cradle is on average about 80 cm long, about 40 cm wide, and the wheelbase is slightly wider. It is necessary to measure whether such a wheelchair will pass through the doorway, into the elevator doors, taking into account the presence of at least one person in the elevator. You also need to pay attention to the season.

ATTENTION! During winter walks, the child is dressed in bulky clothes, and in a very compact carrycot he may feel cramped.

The weight

Strollers for newborns always have an impressive weight. You should take into account your own physical capabilities and different situations. In homes with freight elevators, the use of a bassinet will not be a problem. And if the elevator constantly breaks down, or it does not exist at all, you need to seriously think about a lighter model.

What amortization should be?

A modern stroller should be equipped with a high-quality shock-absorbing mechanism.... It eliminates hard shocks and vibration when driving.

There are two types of depreciation:

  • Spring- special springs take on all shocks, smoothing out all the bumps on the road.
  • Articulated- at the base of the hinge mount made of leather straps or plastic, it allows you to swing the stroller in different directions.

When choosing a stroller, you can evaluate the effect of the shock absorption mechanism. To do this, you should randomly press on the stroller, swinging it, while the seat should move smoothly relative to the chassis.

Wheels

Strollers for newborns have a chassis with four large wheels (from 25 cm)... Large wheels provide good flotation and increase the shock absorption effect. Recently, three-wheeled sidecars are gaining more and more popularity, however, there is no significant difference in maneuverability and stability between the three-wheeled and four-wheeled chassis. Often you have to choose between plastic and rubber inflatable wheels.

Rubber ones overcome obstacles better, but they are more vulnerable and need pumping up. At the same time, there is an alternative option - polymer rubber wheels. They provide better shock absorption and puncture resistance on the road.

REFERENCE! Wheels can be single or double (paired). The second option gives the structure increased stability.

Frame

The weight of the stroller often depends on the material from which the chassis frame is made.... The steel frame will add extra pounds, but the price of the stroller will be significantly lower than the model with a frame made of aluminum or carbon.

A pen

In modern models of strollers for newborns, there are various options for transforming the handle:

  • Height adjustable handle- a very important function for parents with a significant difference in height. In addition, the adjustment of the handle makes the stroller more compact.
  • Flip handle- allows you to change the position of the child relative to the road. Thus, you can turn it away from the wind, or from the bright sun.

What kind of brake do you need?

All strollers have a parking hand or foot brake, which fixes the stroller at a stop and prevents it from rolling. It is advisable that the stroller be equipped with two parking brakes, this will increase the safety of the child. In addition, it is convenient to slow down the movement with the help of the hand brake.

Manufacturing material

The material of the outer upholstery must be moisture-proof, dirt-repellent and wind-proof. It is enough to wipe such a stroller from the outside from dirt and dust, and not be afraid to go for a walk in the slush. Alternatively, it can be leather or leatherette.

ATTENTION! Inside, the upholstery must be made of natural soft fabric, which must be removed for washing.

Inner envelope

A warm baby envelope is an indispensable element for a walk in winter. They can be woolen, whole sheep skin - for harsh weather conditions. For milder winter climates, a fleece sleeve is suitable. Envelopes are included with some strollers.

Pockets, coasters for glasses, baskets

Spacious shopping basket - an indispensable component of any stroller... It can be metal and fabric. The metal basket is more durable, but not very comfortable when driving off high curbs. Many stroller models are equipped with cup holders.

Parents find this convenient, especially if the stand combines a cup holder and key pocket or cell phone holder. Additional pockets or a bag for things are convenient functionality for parents. Unlike a basket, you can put valuables in a bag, and if necessary, take it with you if you have to leave the stroller outside.

Colour

When choosing the color of a baby stroller, you need to start not so much from the gender of the child, but from how easily soiled the material. On a light-colored fabric, dirt is more visible, it has to be washed often, after which the stroller loses its dignified appearance. If light colors are fundamental, it is better to give preference to leather or leatherette upholstery..

Additional requirements for components

For wheelchairs with inflatable wheels, a pump is included. It is convenient to take it with you, in case you have to rock the wheel. The clutch for parents is a very convenient accessory in winter, it allows you to quickly take your hands out and hand the baby a bottle. A raincoat, a mosquito net, a sun visor, an umbrella, a cape on the legs are irreplaceable things for different weather conditions. Often come with a stroller.

Seat belts must be in all types of wheelchairs... They not only help prevent the child from falling out when descending from curbs, but also fix too active children. Wheel covers keep the apartment clean and do not wash the wheels after every walk.

When to buy?

Many parents are interested in this issue. There is no definite answer to it. If you do not want to risk choosing a stroller at random before the baby is born, then we advise you to purchase it when the newborn is 1 month old. His immunity will get stronger and it will be possible to choose transport for walks.

How to choose a good stroller in a store? Experienced parents recommend checking the ease of movement of the stroller and shock absorption before buying, the comfort of future walks depends on this. All mechanisms must work properly, smoothly and quietly. The brake must firmly fix the stroller on an inclined plane.

IMPORTANT! Particular attention should be paid to the air circulation system in the stroller. It is imperative to choose a stroller in accordance with the season.

* Review of the best according to the editors of the site. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective, does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The choice of a stroller, like other products for newborns, causes considerable difficulties for parents. And since this is one of the expensive things, I want it to be as comfortable as possible for the baby and convenient for mothers and fathers to use. That is why the choice of a stroller is treated so carefully and reverently. Today you can buy a variety of models for all ages. These are newborn cradles that are designed for babies from birth up to 7-8 months. Versatile 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 models are available in one chassis and interchangeable units. Transformers can be easily converted from a cradle into a stroller.

How to choose the right stroller for newborns

  1. Chassis width... This parameter determines whether the stroller will fit into a narrow elevator, or you will have to carry it up the stairs every day. She should also calmly pass through the doorways of the apartment and the entrance. The optimal size is 56-60 cm. If you live in a private house, then this parameter is not the most important when buying.
  2. Wheels... The wider they are, the better the cross-country ability will be, but then the maneuverability decreases. Models with 360 ° rotating front wheels and locking them in any convenient position are considered an improved option. The most common wheel material is rubber. They are inflatable with the ability to swap or cast. Many manufacturers offer strollers with an innovative material similar to rubber, but which is resistant to punctures, cuts and is highly durable.
  3. Amortization system... For a newborn baby, the silent and soft movement of the stroller is very important. For this, the design provides shock absorbers, which are produced in the form of springs or belts. The former are more wear-resistant and durable, but over time they can begin to creak. The harness system rocks the baby in different directions and helps to fall asleep faster. This type of depreciation is considered the softest. But belts fail faster, wear out and require replacement.
  4. Materials. The interior upholstery of the cradles must be made of natural fabrics. Most often, it is 100% cotton. It is safe, does not cause allergic manifestations, allows air to pass freely, and can be washed well. The outer fabric must repel dirt and moisture, protect against gusts of wind and at the same time have good ventilation.
  5. Cradle size. Small soft carrycots-liners can be found in transforming strollers. They are easy to carry, but not always comfortable for a newborn baby due to the small space. Traditional strollers for newborns have a shockproof case, so that the baby in the cradle can be transported in the car, and a large berth, which is why it can also be used as a crib in the first months of life.
  6. Bottom of the cradle... The base is rigid and semi-rigid. The first option is preferable, since it supports the child's spine well, contributes to its correct formation. The bottom is made of cardboard, plastic or cork. Wood and cork are environmentally friendly raw materials. Plastic is a more durable material.
  7. Parent Handle... This parameter must be taken into account for the convenience of moms and dads. Telescopic handles can be adjusted to suit the height of each parent. Many of them are covered with anti-slip material. Undoubted convenience is the ability to throw the handle and change the position of the newborn child in the direction of movement and against it.
  8. Mattress... Standard liners are made of cotton with padding polyester inside. In the more expensive models that we included in our rating, there are orthopedic foam mattresses. They follow the contours of the baby's body, create a cozy place for him to sleep. They are wear-resistant, breathable well.
  9. Hood... The voluminous hood will protect you from bad weather. The built-in sun shade protects your baby's delicate skin from UV damage. An additional sector of the hood, which is hidden under the zipper, can be expanded in case of strong gusts of wind. Many models have windows for ventilation, as well as small pockets for useful things.
  10. The weight. Too heavy a stroller is not very maneuverable, and not always a fragile mother will be able to lift it in order to avoid bumps or drive onto a curb. Lightweight models fold faster, are more compact and easier to transport.
  11. Optional accessories... Walking with a newborn baby will not always be comfortable without a raincoat or mosquito net. The complete set of many models also includes bags for parents, shopping baskets.
  12. Design... Modern manufacturers can satisfy any parental fantasy. On sale are classic models with the same wheel size. Many people will love the retro style strollers. Some parents follow the latest fashion trends in everything, and strollers are no exception. Therefore, models of unusual designs from luxury materials are produced for them.

Experts, together with pediatricians and orthopedists, have compiled a rating of the best strollers, the functionality, reliability and safety of which were also confirmed by the parents of the kids.

The best strollers for newborns 2 in 1
