For most newborns, a full size stroller that reclines deeply or accepts an infant car seat is a gentle choice. Many baby strollers are designed to work as travel systems, so your baby can stay settled while you move from car to sidewalk without disruption.

Some baby strollers offer a near flat recline that can suit newborns, while others require an infant car seat or bassinet attachment. Always follow the manufacturer guidelines for your stroller and car seats, and make sure your baby’s head and neck stay well supported on every outing.

Most jogging strollers are best used once your baby has stronger head and neck control. Many brands recommend waiting until at least six months. Until then, a travel system that pairs an infant car seat with a compatible stroller gives you flexibility for walks at a slower pace.

Babies are usually ready to sit more upright in baby strollers when they can hold their head steady and sit with minimal support. Many parents notice this around five to seven months. Check your stroller’s instructions and adjust the recline gradually as your child grows.
