This will depend on the brand of stroller you buy. Typically, umbrella strollers aren’t very well suited to newborns. Usually, umbrella strollers are designed for children aged 6 months and up. This is because at this age children start to be able to sit up on their own. In our opinion, if you have a newborn child you should consider another option. You can always buy a budget-friendly umbrella stroller further down the line.
