Is a Travel Stroller Suitable for Newborns?

While travel strollers can be lightweight and convenient for travelling with a baby, they may not be suitable for newborns without some additional features and/or accessories. Here are some factors to consider:
Newborns need to lie flat, so it's important that the stroller has a fully reclining seat that can be adjusted to a flat position. Some travel strollers have a near-flat recline option, which can work for infants, but it's best to check the specifications before purchasing.
Newborns don't have full head and neck control, so a travel stroller that has a supportive headrest or pillow is important to keep their heads from flopping around.
Some travel strollers have the option to add a carrycot for the first 6 months, which does give your baby the optimum sleeping position. However, naturally, with the addition of a carrycot, you lose the convenience of a very small fold. However, the chassis will still be small, making it more compact than a full travel system.
Some travel strollers are designed to be used with infant car seats, which can be a good option for newborns and allow you to easily take your car seat to your destination for use in taxis or a hire car.
It's important to check the age and weight recommendations of the travel stroller before purchasing. Some travel strollers may not be suitable for newborns or infants under a certain weight.
Ensure that the travel stroller has proper safety features, such as a five-point harness, to keep your newborn secure.
