Zooper Twist

Best umbrella stroller for newborns

*Est. $200

Weighing in at 18.2 pounds, the Zooper Twist is one of the heaviest umbrella-style strollers out there, but it is also one of the most fully featured. The Zooper Twist reclines fully making it appropriate for newborns, is infant car seat compatible (all models from 2011 on), and has a high 55-pound weight capacity, which rivals many travel systems. The Zooper Twist's canopy is its most distinctive feature -- offering top to bottom coverage for all weather conditions, yet still folding back neatly when full coverage is not required.
