Each parent puts forward their requirements for children's transport. For some, the comfort of the baby is most important, someone dreams of a trendy new product from the famous brand, and sometimes the family has to consider only options for wheelchairs with increased cross-country ability. Some of the diversity seek to choose the lightest stroller for the newborn, especially if the fragile mother has to take walks with the baby without help.
If this moment is relevant to you, our tips and a small selection of lightweight models will surely come in handy. Of course, within the framework of one article it is impossible to consider all the existing options, so we will pay attention to the most high-quality, convenient and popular models of children's vehicles in our country.
For convenience, models from different classes and price categories will be presented in our ranking of strollers for newborns.
Varieties
There are several main groups. This will help narrow your search.
- Baby carriages with a cradle for the newborn. This is the lightest and most compact transport, but most models have small wheels and mediocre driving characteristics.
- Modular carriages, consisting of a frame and several interchangeable blocks (travel systems are included in this category). The comfort of such vehicles is increased, the wheels are usually larger, but the weight is slightly more.
- Transformers Once upon a time this word was called budget heavy transport. But modern manufacturers, taking the idea as a basis, significantly improved it. The peculiarity of the strollers of this type is that the walking block can be converted into a walking seat. In our review of strollers for newborns, several transformers with a great modern design and very low weight fell at once.
Of course, the division is very arbitrary. For example, a model with a chassis cane can have replaceable blocks.

But its main difference lies in two additional blocks - a full-sized solid cradle for newborns and a 0+ car seat. All covers of the walking block are easily removable from the chassis, and it is convenient to install one of the additional modules on it.
When buying a stroller cane, many are stopped by the fear that the wheels will be weak. But the owners of the Trilogy System often mention in the reviews about good driving characteristics.
