thank you for the reply and explanation..
I am confused with regards to strollers. I see that some claim to be able to recline flat for newborn. But then I see some strollers with baby car seat on it which is meant for newborn.
So does a newborn need to be flat or does the baby need to be in the car seat?
yeah, newborns usually uses pram, and some strollers can recline flat to duplicate that.
pram is to lie flat, and strollers are for those who can sit.
but nowadays most strollers can recline flat or almost flat.
the Squizz 2 im using can recline flat as well.
the stroller with baby car seat is called a travel system stroller.
it is a set of car sear + stroller.
this baby car seat is to be used in the car. but u can easily carry the baby car seat out and put in ON the stroller. meaning attached to the stroller.
if u carry a baby in a car, newborn or not, u need to have a baby car seat. and for safety reasons, there is no flat recline seat even for newborns.
it can be reclined, but not flat.
usually newborn baby car seat also has a lot of paddings ( and these paddings can be removed when they grow older/bigger)
important to note, for newborns up to 1 year old (some even say 2 years old) u need to install the baby car seat to rear facing. meaning the baby is looking towards the back.
this is because their neck cant stand the impact in case of accidents.
some experts say 1 year old, some say 2, but most say to install it rear facing as long as u can.
MOST parents just install a car seat front facing, even newborns. this is WRONG.
here is something to help u choose a stroller, it also explains the different types of strollers :
