Chicco Keyfit Caddy Stroller Frame

I already have a chicco stroller to fit the carrier but it's huge. It barely fits in my trunk and doesn't fit well in tight store aisles. It's a very good stroller just not practical for everyday. With my first I ended up mostly hauling around the carrier without the help of the stroller. So now I have my second and I just don't want to do that again. I tried the caddy at buy buy baby and was won over. It's extremely light, easy to push, easy to fold, and fits the carrier perfectly (as it should because they're made for each other). Now that I've used it a few times I like it even more. The basket is great. You can access the stuff from the front or the back without moving the carrier.

Looking back, I wish I skipped the full travel system and got the carrier, the caddy, and waited until the baby was older before investing in a stroller.

I didn't even know this existed until I saw it in a local baby store this weekend (Sept 2011). I had already planned on a Snap-n-Go to go with my Keyfit 30, but I was so happy to see this! The car seat snaps securely into the frame, and that negates any need for the strap (like I would need with the Snap-n-Go). The handle is adjustable, and I love that because I am relatively tall (5'8", but I have a preference for a higher handle anyway). The storage basket is pretty roomy, and it is pretty light weight. Putting it together was very simple, but the front bar took a little bit of muscle to put in place. It has a smooth ride, and it seems sturdy, but I cannot completely attest to that, because we have only had it for 2 days! Hopefully it will last for as long as the car seat is useful. We do have a lightweight stroller to go along with it when we don't want to lift the car seat.

We replaced a Baby Trend car seat with the Chicco Keyfit 30 and wanted a stroller caddy to use with it. Our daughter is growing rapidly and it isn't practical to carry her around in the car seat. I was able to put it together easily with one exception. The directions are easy to follow with one step per page and all the pieces fit together well except the arm bar (the piece that sticks out and holds the car seat) - my husband had to come help me push down with full body weight to get it to click together. Fortunately it worked and we didn't break the plastic in the process.
Pros include:
- Large and easy to access basket
- Adjustable handle (although it adjusts from a hinge and swings up and down instead of sliding down. This makes for a slightly awkward pushing angle when in the shortest position).
- Smooth ride - it rolls really well and doesn't have the same clunky ride as the Baby Trend Snap and Go stroller caddy we used before.
- Easy to push...Read more
