Chicco Capri Lightweight Stroller, Tangerine

We bought this stroller primarily for travel purposes (airport/gate check, train, etc.). We used a Bugaboo Bee previously. My wife likes this one so much that she uses it almost exclusively. Granted, she is petite and the weight savings over the Bee were a huge factor for her. I still prefer the Bee. There are just some features you cannot do in an umbrella stroller.

Likes:
- Lightweight! At 11 lbs., it's almost half the weight of traditional strollers and a good 7 lbs. lighter than the Bee. I didn't think a lousy 7 lbs would make a significant difference, but it is noticables and makes all the difference to the wife. There is also a built in carry strap that is handy at the airport.
- Compact. This is the greatest advantage of the umbrella. By "collapsing" in two dimensions, the Ct0.6 takes up less room than my golf clubs. The bee only "folds" in one dimension such that it ends up taking much more trunk space.

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...Read more

I have had this stroller for over 2 years now and I love it. It held my son from the time he was 6 weeks old (that is when we purchased it). My nephew who is 6 can still easily ride in this stoller, so it will last you a long time. It's one of the only umbrella strollers on the market that has 2 storage compartments, a canopy, and it RECLINES. It also has a leg extender on it so when they are little their legs don't dangle off the end, and then it folds down for when their older. It does not have a cup holder, but it has a storage pocket on the back that you can put a drink in and it holds it great, or if you have a diaper bag or blanket in the bottom you can easily support a drink in the bottom. I have taken this stroller everywhere, up in the mountains hiking, through grass, even in snow (I walk over 5 miles daily with it). It also fits easily into any trunk and takes up little space. Look no further this is the best stroller out there.
