How do I know if it is ok for my child
Usually, strollers are made for children that are above 6 months old or old enough to sit up on their own. Therefore, newborns aren’t suitable enough.

Children below the age of 6 months could get back pain and strains when put in a stroller. Furthermore, it could be more than a health hazard as it could turn out to be dangerous.
