Hi
Can all the strollers listed as "Full recline" in Baby Bargains
be used as a pram/carriage for infants ? Also do all reclining
strollers come with a canopy ? Is there a weight limit for strollers like there is for carseats.
OK, 3 strikes and I'm out.
Thanks

My understanding of the Baby Bargains book is that "Full Recline" can be used as a pram/carriage for infants.

All of your other questions can be answered by the description of the particular stroller. Most stroller descriptions list the lower age limit (for example, if this is listed as 6 months and up, then there is not enough recline for a newborn) or maximum recline amount in degrees (for example, 170 degree recline), the upper weight limit (usually 40 pounds), and features such as a canopy.

I used my Peg Perego in this way for my daughter. The footrest folds up so the baby can't fall out that end. Also, the canopy can fold all the way back or all the way down in front to cover up baby. I left the stroller set up in my house during the winter months when she was tiny and used it like a basinette until she got too long to lay down in it. She loved to nap there.
