Lightweight strollers for newborns - the dream of all moms. This allows you to walk more often, not to limit yourself in the choice of places visited, not to depend on the help of others, the elevator works or not, and other circumstances. There are several options that, along with other significant qualities will be light in weight.

Modular construction, which consists of a frame and interchangeable units. These are convenient models. Due to the fact that their wheels are larger, the weight is slightly larger.

Primary requirements
All loving parents place high demands on the stroller for a newborn, not sparing the funds to buy and the time to choose a really high-quality stroller. After all, the child in any case will need two strollers - one for the first months of life, and the other for walking, when he is a little older.
Now manufacturers are increasingly offering universal strollers, the so-called 2 in 1 or 3 in 1, in which the units change easily, and the stroller, thanks to its high quality and versatility, can serve the baby and his mother for years. Therefore, often parents make a choice in favor of this design, regardless of the high price.
What moms should pay attention to when buying is to ensure that the child is safe in the stroller, comfortable so that it is comfortable to use. The bottom in the cradle for the newborn should be quite tough for the correct location and development of the baby. One of the important criteria is the lightness of the design and, of course, beautiful colors.
It should be borne in mind that especially lightweight models do with small wheels, which are inferior to large rubber. But here it is necessary to choose. If walks are mainly in the city on smooth asphalt paths, then small wheels are perfect for this purpose. But if there is a gravel road, forest trails, then it is better to think about big rubber wheels. They will cope with any irregularities, and at the same time the comfort of the child will not be broken.
The stroller should be quite compact so that, folding it up, it can be safely placed in the trunk, if you have to go, so that you can travel with it, if necessary, both on the train and on the plane. Most often, these strollers fold and do not take up much space.
Another important detail is the convenience of folding, so that the mother, if necessary, could quickly fold it and just as quickly spread out. Going for a walk with a baby, especially over long distances, mother usually takes a lot of things with her: diapers, bottles, nipples, diapers, spare clothes, toys. Therefore, for convenience, the stroller should be equipped with a spacious basket for things, an additional bag.
Important details are considered a large comfortable hood, which will close from the sun, rain cover, cover that will protect from rain and wind. Here are how many nuances need to be considered, in addition to the main thing - the ease of construction.
