Chicco Liteway Lightweight Aluminum Stroller

 (3 customer reviews)

I am a mom of 2 kids, 4 years old, and 10 months old. I have tons of experience with all different kinds of strollers. I have a BOB jogger that I LOVE but it's so big that it takes up half the trunk space in my Camry. When my family of 4 travels the BOB won't fit, so I was looking for a light weight stroller that was compact enough to fit in with our stuff, but was still comfortable for my baby. True umbrella strollers simply didn't cut it.

PROS:
- tall enough so that taller people are not hunched over to push it. (I'm 5'5" and can push it comfortably with my heels on.)
- large sunshade
- drives relatively smoothly on rough terrain (but definitely NOT an all terrain stroller. I wouldn't take this one to the beach.)
- easy to handle and steer
- narrow enough to fit into tight spaces
- comfy padded seat and 5 pt. harness for baby.
- one handed seat adjustment - lays completely flat
- cup holder for parent.
- fabric carrying handle...Read more

I have a luxury stroller for my son that I absolutely love, but it is not compact at all. So I bought this one for my nanny to use and for a smaller stroller to take on trips when I have no room for the large stroller. I have to say, it rides quite smoothly. We have very bumpy and cracked sidewalks, and it handles that ride much better than expected. I love that this is an umbrella stroller that has a fully reclining back because my son often falls asleep during a stroll. And the canopy is one of the most adequate I've seen on an umbrella stroller. It doesn't seem to fold quite as compactly as those umbrella strollers you see for twenty bucks, but I got a drawstring bag to keep it in, and honestly--it takes up no more room than one of those foldable camping chairs that come in the drawstring bag. My son seems very comfortable in it. The only reason I give it four stars and not five, is because my little boy can tip it over if he leans too far over the side when the brake is...Read more

We got this stroller to use it for a long travel and are pretty glad we did. Although there are some things that could be improved to make it even better it served its purpose really good. It is light (7.5 KG) and easy to fold. Its best feature for what we needed is that it can recline to a completely horizontal position, as we used it to tourist around it was a great plus that LO could rest comfortably while we were out. There is enouth space under the seat to carry some shopping and you can get much more if the seat is not reclined and the feature of using the lower carrier as a backpack came out pretty useful. It can be pushed easily in almost any surface.
