5.0 out of 5 stars
Love it! FINALLY found MY PERFECT stroller!, October 7, 2005
It has everything I have been looking for. 5pt harness, ratcheting canopy (that stays put unlike the ellipsa I had- that thing was a joke), large basket (basket does not spring down but is still accessible when seat is reclined), parent and child trays (parent tray has covered compartment and child tray has nice deep snack area w/cupholders), one hand fold, stands when folded (yeah! No dirty, scratched or torn parts), linked rear brakes (so you only have to push one side and BOTH wheels lock), wheel suspension with front wheel lock for rough terrain, seat lays completely flat and footrest comes up to enclose seat to make carriage, height adjustable handlebar (which goes high enough for my 6'2" husband!), nice soft breathable material (it is still quite warm here in FL), footrest, and has lightweight aluminum frame. I bought mine in the Sahara pattern (see cust. pics I uploaded) along with the keyfit carseat which I also love (and reviewed). The only thing I can say even remotely in a negative direction is it does take a bit of trying to get the one hand fold thing down. It folds by squeezing a button and at the same time lifting a handle- not real hard but can be a bit tricky at first. Aside from that in the few weeks we have had it in use I can say I don't have anything to complain about. The car seat clips on easily, the canopy covers completely and the ride is smooth. I do have to mention that while it is considered lightweight it is not THE most lightweight you can get- so whoever is looking for the most lightweight/compact this is not it. It is a great stroller and I do recommend it along with the chicco keyfit carseat.

The perfect stroller!!, April 17, 2006
I spent a lot of time researching strollers for my third baby. My requirements were many:
lots of storage
easy to push (one-handed, if necessary) and smooth ride
snack tray and cup holder for baby
sun shade with lots of coverage
comfortable for baby to nap in
one-handed, easy fold
drink holder for me
This stroller has all of that plus more! There's also a compartment with lid near adult cup holder--great for stashing keys and phone. I'm able to easily hang my diaper bag over the handle and it doesn't get in the way as I walk. To further increase my carrying capacity, I bought clips to stick on the handle so I can hang additional shopping bags. My baby seems very comfortable and naps in it all the time. And, I love the sun shade. You can pull it forward to position it to best protect baby's face from the sun. Not the lightest (or most compact) stroller but for all the bells and whistles, not bad at all. I've had it for two months now and I recommend it without hesistation!

Great Stroller, July 2, 2006
My husband and I researched and test drove strollers before we purchased our Chicco. We bought the Cortina travel system in the Sahara and we love it. We are both tall - my husband is 6'8" and I am 5'10." This stroller had the highest adjustable handle we could find. My Mom is only 5'3" and she also likes the handle at the highest position. The stroller maneuvers very well and is very easy to push with one hand. I especially like the collapse feature. You simply pull the handle up and put your foot on the basket and it collapses and stands up straight. We received our travel system as a shower gift. Our daughter is 2 months old and I've used this stroller nearly every day since she was a week old. I read all of the reviews on this stroller before we registered for it - when Amazon was partnered with Babies R Us. Everyone who owned the stroller loved it. I never read any reviews of problems. However, our first stroller broke the other day. The collapse handle utilizes a wire that pulls the release mechanisms and folds it automatically. One of the wires broke and the stroller could only be closed by manually pulling up the releases (which was a huge pain in the you know what). Our stroller was purchased at Babies R Us. So, I called and spoke with the manager and he told me to come in and they would replace my stroller with a new one. I went into the store and they assembled our stroller in about 10 minutes and we were on our way. I am extremely impressed with Babies R Us and their fabulous customer service. I had not read reviews with anyone complaining of the same issues and the gentleman that helped us at Babies R Us said that he hadn't seen many returns of this stroller. So, I think it was probably just a bad stroller. With that in mind I would still recommend this stroller. It has great ergonomics for people of all heights, the car seat is very easy to put into and remove from the stroller, and the fabric is extremely easy to clean. And I also agree with all of the other reviewers' comments on the great features of this stroller. Happy strolling with your little one!
