Chicco Ct0.6 Capri Lightweight Stroller Review

Chicco Ct0.6 Capri Lightweight Stroller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a very compact stroller, this one is pretty good. I looked at many umbrella strollers and most did not have 5 point harnesses or aren't comfy for someone over about 5'2". Now I'm a hair under 5'8", but I wouldn't recommend this for anyone taller. My husband at 6' had to hunch over to push it. Another issue is that the wheels are pretty close together and the handles don't tilt back far enough to provide a lot of separation between your feet and the wheels. You do have to walk heel-toe if you are going to walk behind the stroller and that not only takes a little getting used to, but can be tiring because you don't use your normal walking muscles.

It has a very small basket underneath that can store some smile items, but because of the cross back support, you can't put a bag of any size under there, but it's good for small purchases. Also, while it does recline, it's not much, but more than you would see on other umbrella strollers.

Another plus is that it is significantly wider than the Jeep umbrella stroller and the other low price ones. My 3 month old looked cramped in that one and I cannot imagine her being able to use it for long. This stroller should last us for travel purposes (especially on the subway) for a couple of years.

I also like that the sunshade can be snapped to the back of the stroller or you can unsnap it and change the angle depending on where the sun is.

I recommend you take a test push of this before purchasing. They have them instock in limited colors at Babies R Us, but that's good advice for any stroller purchase.

The price here is a bit ridiculous. Spend 45 seconds and you can find a reputable retailer selling for just short of half this much, in the ballpark of $20.

And for $20, this stroller is at least decent. It's very, very lightweight, which is good at times. However, it's also pretty flimsy, so don't expect it to tolerate, well, anything. The wheels are small and hard, which makes for a rough ride. It's also very short, so if you're not, prepare to stoop. The latch to keep it closed is hard to find, and the lock to keep it open will take the skin off your fingers if you're not careful. The seat material is very thin, almost worrisomely so (but at least the pattern is cute).

It's also very small. My son is about 33 inches tall and 25 lbs, and he barely fits. If your child is much bigger than mine, they won't fit at all.

I got this stroller to be a super-light-weight way to push my son around on very short trips when i have to carry other heavy things, or go up or down stairs. (His other stroller is a three-wheeled jogging stroller, so very inconvenient if stairs are involved.) It does exactly what i wanted from it, and not a single bit more.

Baby Jogger City Micro Single Stroller Review

Being a stroller junkie, this was to be my last stroller purchase.After our Plinko lite tore in the seat and wouldn't fold completely anymore from years of use and impatient airline staff handling, I was on the hunt for one last stroller to fit our needs.Our 33 pound 4 year old still tires after all day walking events like Disneyland or Legoland and Daddy can only carry her on his shoulder for so long.We had rented the strollers at Disneyland and liked them...Baby Jogger.. so I thought I'd check them out.I couldn't justify spending a lot on a stroller for a preschooler who will use it probably only another year or so, so went with the micro.We've taken it to Disneyland (via plane) so far, and it has saved the day with the nieces and nephews at other times.We stayed at a hotel across from Disney and our 4 year old stayed comfy and happy as we trekked for 5 days.We even could push our 7 year old (50 lbs) when he pooped out once on the walk back to the hotel.The steering is great, fold is ingenious, and is very portable.Yes, the storage net is small and the shade isn't huge.After owning Graco, Britax, Plinko, and others umbrellas, this stroller gets high marks in steering and folding.It's not the lightest, but because it folds so slim, it makes toting it around a breeze.

I received this stroller as a freebie from buying items from babies r us.It's super cute, and sturdier than regular umbrella strollers.It tends to be a bit short for my 5'11" frame, but it's great to zip around the city, hop on the subway or bus.

It doesn't have a sunshade or a storage compartment-- so maybe best for travel- i.s. a walk through in an airport or for use on trains and busses- even just walking through a mall or department store?

Definitely not recommended for extensive outdoor use, since there's no sun shade to protect your little one rain or shine. I suppose you could put a sun hat on your child, and UV cream...

Otherwise it's a sweet little thing.

Overall, I prefer my Aprica "cookie" Umbrella stroller over this.

But like I mentioned,this is sweet for literally zipping through a city!And so cute.

Chicco Liteway Stroller Review

Chicco Liteway Stroller
Average Reviews:

I bought the Liteway in Fuego from Amazon, it was the best price around. When I go it, I didn't really like the color. It's an orangish red, I thought it would be deeper. Should have gone with the topazio... But anyways. I'm a 4th time mom with a lot of stroller experience. I've owned all kinds! Too many to list!

Liteway Pros
1. A full one-hand recline (really flat!) my 3 month old is very comfortable in this stroller. Easy to change a diaper in this stroller. Definitely usable from birth.
2. Safety harness is awesome, great fit. I like that the snap part is covered, so you can't pinch your baby's skin. Also 2 shoulder positons.
3. Stroller height. great for tall parents.
4. Adult cupholder. it's large, so you can fit more than just waterbottles.
5. Front wheel locks- great for locking straight to go across the grass. Also very easy to remove the front wheels.
6. Leg bunting- It's attached and stored under the leg rest. It's not large however and my 3 month old has almost outgrown it. It's not a feature for kids 7 months or older I think.
7. It's not too tippy. I can hang a medium size diaper bag (fleurville rerun)on the handles and it doesn't tip over when the child is not in the stroller.
8. Super easy to fold. (just like Maclaren.) It has an auto lock when you fold it. I have successfully opened and closed it while holding my child in the other hand.
9. So easy to steer! I had to drive it one-handed across a bumpy wooden bridge, and had no problems!
10. It's narrow enough to fit through tight spots.
11. It's self-locking! This is a huge deal for me because I can close it and load it into the car one-handed.

Cons.
1. Viewing window in canopy. It's not covered, just tinted, so it lets in A LOT of light- which happens to fall right on my son's face. Had I known that the window was not covered, I would not have bought this stroller.
2. Canopy. Size is just OK.Although, when unattached to the back, it does rotate around to the front to block more sun (but the zipper portion dangles in front of my son's face and annoys him somewhat.
3. Weight- this is not a small stroller. Don't let the name fool you, it's not Lite! it's about 20 lbs. The Pliko P3 feels lighter!
4. Folded size. It really is not that compact. It's about 1.5 times the size of Maclaren Quest when folded.It takes up a lot of the trunk space in my Yukon behind the 3rd row seat.
5. Really small basket- I thought that it would be bigger. I can only fit my Baby Bjorn classic and 2 vhs videos in there. No WAY can you fit a diaper bag. (so I just hang the bag on the handle instead)
6. no snack tray

All in all this stroller is OK. I'm REALLY dissappointed with the canopy. Why can't they make a big canopy like the BOB Joggers? For the price, I guess it's OK. I do wish I had spent the 40 extra dollars and bought a peg perego Aria, Joovy Kooper, or Zooper twist instead...REALLY big canopies on those that rotate to the front...

UPDATE: So now I've used the stroller for 2 months and have decided that for the price, this is an above average stroller. The canopy problem I had I fixed with a Kiddopotamus Rayshade for 15 bucks. You can fold the stroller with the Rayshade attached, so I can honestly say that this is a complete stroller now. I'm taking it to Sea World soon and am confident I will be happy. The other strollers I liked were atleast 40 dollars more than this stroller, so I feel that this stroller is a real bargain now. I would change the rating to 4 stars, but I can't figure out how to do it!
