When a long-awaited baby appears in the family, all things are purchased with love, carefully chosen, all the nuances are thought out. And among the necessary items for a newborn, one of the most important is a stroller. In it, the baby will make walks, go to the clinic and other important things that parents will come up with. The stroller must be comfortable, safe and beautiful. And for many families, such a factor as the lightness of the product is also important. Therefore, first of all, lightweight strollers are considered, taking into account the varieties of shapes and designs.
Varieties
Lightweight strollers for newborns are the dream of all mothers. This allows you to walk more often, not to limit yourself in the choice of places to visit, not to depend on the help of others, whether the elevator works or not, and other circumstances. There are several options that, along with other significant qualities, will be light in weight.
The most compact is a cane stroller with a cradle for a newborn. The wheels in these models are small, and the characteristics in terms of damping, increased ease of movement can be inferior to their counterparts with large rubber wheels.
Modular design, which consists of a frame and replaceable blocks. These are comfortable models. Due to the fact that their wheels are larger, the weight is slightly higher.
The “transformer” model has always belonged to heavy wheelchairs. But manufacturers every year improve this model range using modern materials and technologies. Transformers can be used both for sleeping on the street and for walking while awake.
Primary requirements
All loving parents make high demands on a stroller for a newborn, not sparing money for the purchase and time to choose a really high-quality stroller. After all, a child in any case will need two strollers - one for the first months of life, and the other for walks when he grows up a little.
Now manufacturers increasingly offer universal strollers, the so-called 2 in 1 or 3 in 1, in which the blocks are easily changed, and the stroller, due to its high quality and its versatility, can serve the baby and his mother for more than one year. Therefore, parents often make a choice in favor of such a design, regardless of the high price.
What mothers should pay attention to when buying is that the child is safe in the stroller, comfortable, so that it is easy to use. The bottom of the newborn cradle must be fairly rigid for the infant to sit and develop properly. One of the important criteria is the ease of construction and, of course, beautiful colors.
It should be borne in mind that especially light models are made with small wheels, which are inferior to large rubber ones. But here you really have to choose. If walks mainly take place in the city on smooth asphalt paths, then small wheels are perfect for this purpose. But if there is a gravel road, forest paths, then it is better to think about large rubber wheels. They will cope with any irregularities, while the comfort of the child will not be compromised.
The stroller should be quite compact so that, when folded, you can safely place it in the trunk if you are going to travel, so that you can travel with it on the train and on the plane if necessary. Most often, these strollers fold and do not take up much space.
Another important detail is the convenience of folding, so that if necessary, the mother can quickly fold it and unfold it just as quickly. When going for a walk with a baby, especially over long distances, a 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 to be a large comfortable hood that will cover from the sun, a raincoat, a cover that will protect from rain and wind. Here are how many nuances you need to consider, in addition to the main thing - the ease of construction.

Popular brands
The ranking of the best models is determined by which models are most often purchased by mothers, and what reviews they leave on various sites using these strollers.
Inglesina Trilogy System
The stroller is an Italian company, which mothers praise, because after intensive use the stroller retains its original appearance and does not break. The walking stick has an important advantage. She has two additional units - a cradle for newborns and a car seat. All modules can be easily removed and replaced with others.
Some people worry that the disadvantages of such a stroller include small plastic wheels. Of course, they are inferior in their characteristics to large rubber ones. But this minus is not so terrible, especially since the stroller has good maneuverability. And, most importantly, its weight is much less than if large wheels were present in the structure.
In addition, the stroller has an interesting modern design, which is also a determining factor for many mothers. Its weight is nine and a half kilograms. However, it folds easily. The cradle for the newborn is used both in the car and as a cradle on a special stand. The price of this stroller is from 25 thousand rubles and more, depending on the configuration and additional accessories.
Cosatto giggle
Model of the English brand. It is distinguished by a very striking design. But this, of course, is not all of her advantages. The weight of the stroller is slightly less than ten kilograms. At the same time, it is equipped with a comfortable berth and large wheels. This model comes with a walking module and a car seat. There are also additional, but important little things: a cover for sheltering a baby on cold days, and the inner part unfastens depending on the degree of cold snap, a raincoat, a sleeve, soft pads for belts.
In such a design, even the most fastidious mother will find it difficult to find cons. But it is for those who save the family budget, and lies in the high cost of this model and the brand as a whole.
Cybex callisto
Transport for babies from a German manufacturer. The stroller is equipped with a removable folding cradle, and the weight of this model is less than nine kilograms. A stroller for older kids is inexpensive, within 15 thousand rubles, but the cost of a cradle for it reaches 20 thousand rubles. The colors are varied - both restrained tones and bright shades.
Phil and teds smart
Strollers made in New Zealand have established themselves as one of the lightest and most durable, weighing less than ten kilograms. The cradle for the newborn is reliable and comfortable. A stroller can be purchased for 18 thousand rubles, and a sleeping block for it will cost around 12 thousand rubles.
Seed Pli MG
The stroller made in Denmark is distinguished by its lightness and original appearance. She will delight both mom and baby. It will be convenient for both, the mother will drive the baby vehicle, and the baby will sleep comfortably in the cradle. With the age of the child, it easily changes to a walking option. And the stroller will last a long time. Convenient inflatable wheels, a spacious basket for things, and other details make it attractive for mothers.
But this model is mainly chosen by those who want something unusual. The design really sets it apart from other models. The disadvantages include the fact that it weighs a little more than the previous options, about 13 kilograms, the price is also not low, at least 36 thousand rubles.
Bugaboo Bee
The baby carrier from the Dutch manufacturer is a stylish and high quality model. From the stroller that it once was, manufacturers, taking into account consumer demand and wishes, modernized it and provided an opportunity for mothers of newborns to make a choice in favor of this model. It is lightweight and can be modified as the child grows up. When the walking option comes to replace the cradle, the child will be just as comfortable, because the back rests completely.
Maybe those who live in the northern regions, where a lot of snow falls in winter, will find disadvantages in this stroller. The small wheels that the stroller is equipped with may not be able to cope with snowy weather. Another disadvantage is the very high price: depending on the configuration, 38-72 thousand rubles. But her weight is one of the smallest, only 8 kg.
Jane crosswalk
The 3-in-1 model made in Spain may seem quite impressive at first glance. But its weight is not so great, only 10 kilograms. The wheels are equipped with shock absorbers, it is comfortable to operate, no obstacles are scary. The baby is also comfortable in the cradle, the inner part of which is covered with natural cotton, the large hood can be fixed in any position. The stroller folds and unfolds very easily. The price varies from 43 to 55 thousand rubles, the color scheme is diverse, from deep saturated to delicate light.
Chicco Urban Plus
Another convenient Italian-made model. The structure weighs a little more than ten kilograms and has good cross-country ability. The kit contains many additional and necessary parts, the handle is adjustable, the design and comfort are at a height. The stroller can be purchased for 20 thousand rubles, if necessary, paying extra for individual accessories.
Each model has its own advantages, the disadvantages are minimal judging by the numerous reviews of mothers. In operation, all models show themselves well, although damage is not excluded if used improperly.
You need to pay attention to the ratio of price and quality and to individual needs: what is a big plus for some, may seem like a minus to others.
There are a lot of options, it remains to weigh the pros and cons, carefully examine the stroller, try it in motion, see how comfortable the baby is there, and make the right choice.
