Chicco Liteway Stroller in Fuego - Red product details page

I got this stroller with high hopes and was quickly disappointed. Folding is not easy. First, you have to bend the sunshade down, which doesn't fold the way you'd expect, so I kept having to figure out how to collapse it. Then you press a lever up with your foot, which is impossible if you don't have sneakers on, so I ended up having to bend down and use my hand to lift it up, which got old real quick. Then, you kick the last lever and push down as you kick it to fold. Then, you have to tu rn the stroller on its side to get it to latch closed properly because the sun shade kept getting in the way. All in all, frustrating! The stroller lays back all of the way, but the bottom of the seat is poorly constructed. There isn't support for the end of the seat, it's just fabric, and the sides are so rigid that it looks like it would end up being uncomfortable for a toddler. And once you get the cupholder on, you CANNOT get it off!

This stroller is super easy to use and adjust. The cup holder is nice. It will hold coffee or a water bottle. It won't hold keys or phone because is is open on one side. It's great that it is located on the side because nothing will splash or spill on baby. The handles are ergonomic, comfortable and the stroller height is good for tall parents. I am 5 foot 8 and hubby is 6 ft. 2 in. We are both comfortable. Now, the reason this might not be the best pick for grandparents is that the shoul der straps adjuster and the belt buckle are covered by pieces of canvas. This is a nice feature for the baby or child because he or she can't mess with the buckle, and it offers padding for the child's skin against any irritation the buckle or straps could cause. BUT I find it difficult to move the covering aside in order to adjust the straps or get at the buckle. A grandparent with arthritis or just lack of hand strength is going to have an impossible time.

Chicco products are the best we have several of them and love them all. I bought this because I have a small trunk and it is light weight and easier than bigger strollers. It is to quality, folds easy, and easy to carry. My five month old loves going shopping and riding in it.

I loved this stroller! It folded up easily, was very well built, great padding, reclined, yet it did not push smoothly. It was as if the wheels were not perfectly round. I even had my husband and two coworkers push the stroller with the baby in it on a smooth floor and all three thought the ride was not smooth. I loved the stroller so much, I returned it for a second one, hoping I had just gotten a bad one. The second one had the same problem. Also, I have a large baby, 1 year and 28 poun ds, and the buckle sat VERY low. It's as if the clip should have been sewn about 2 inches higher. As he grew, I would have had to somehow redo the buckle and move it up or simply not use it. Since it does not have a tray, this was going to be a challenge. This stroller is of great quality, so I am very disappointed that it did not work for us.

We got this to replace our tiny umbrella stroller and to use instead of our big sit'n'stand. Our daughter is 15 months and she fits great and still has lots of room to grow. The cup holder, canopy and basket below are huge added bonuses, especially with how compact the stroller is. The kicker for me though is the reclining seat. It adds so much comfort during long strolls and a tiny umbrella would never do the trick. It pushes smoothly and is wonderful for taller people. I'm 5'8" and pushi ng this is very comfortable for me. My husband agrees that pushing the stroller is much easier with the added height. It is easily maneuverable and sturdy. I am very pleased with the purchase and am excited to use it for many years to come. As a last note, I would say that if you're looking for a true umbrella stroller, then this might not be for you. It is heavier and bigger than an umbrella. Not by much, but it is. The frame and wheels are definitely bigger than an umbrella. For us, it is still compact enough to travel with easily and the extra features more than make up for the fact that it is a bit bigger.

This is by far the best design for an umbrella stoller. It folds up small with a safety latch so it doesn't open up on you accidentally. There is a large sunshade that is hard to find on an umbrella stroller. The handle bars are a nice height too. My favorite part is that the back rest folds down so my son can nap when we are on the go. It is handy to have the storage area underneath that also doubles as a backpack. I recommend getting the storage bag that hangs on the handles too.

We had a lighter chicco stroller with our first child and we had to get rid of it because once he hit 30 pounds it didn't push as well.. this one works with an older child and I really like the cup holder.

My husband and I bought this stroller because it was one of the few in the store that I could actually see and look at. We bought it and then I read the reviews. So far, I am very happy with this purchase. My 9 month old daughter loves using it on our morning walks!Only drawback is the wheels don't always turn as I would like them. Going to have hubby look at them and see if he can fix them.

I should have bought this with my first child! This is a great umbrella style stroller. It doesn't take up my whole trunk, opens/clothes with one hand, fully reclines so my 7 month old can nap in comfort, steers easily, and has a great canopy that shades all but the tips of my child's toes. The seat is very deep and padded - looks quite comfy. [...] I used it on cobblestone, grass, and a gravel driveway and it did just fine. The basket is great to have, but when the seat is fully down it is har d to access anything that is in there. Guess that would be a good time to take it off and use the backback feature. The only thing some people might not like are the non-adjusting angled handles. I find them comfortable, but if you are used to more traditional umbrella handles, these might feel a bit odd. Definitely worth the price - I expect this to hold up for as many more kids as I choose to have!
