5.0 out of 5 stars Ergonomically sound!, September 29, 2005

This review is from: Chicco C5 Stroller Alaska (Baby Product)

Because I walk around the neighborhood all the time, my 2 1/2 year old daughter is still trekking around with me in a stroller. The Combi Soho stroller I had bought when she was 7 months old had served its purpose, but I was continuously frustrated with the fact that as she got heavier, it seemed as if the front wheels had to be lifted over every crack in the sidewalk or else we would get stuck.

So when I decided to get a new stroller, I had a few built-in requirements. And rather than purchasing a stroller online, I went to Babies R Us and put my daughter in for a few quick test rides. I'm happy to say that the Chicco had met all my requirements:

- The number one requirement had to be a smooth and easy drive. And this one is awesome! The wheels are big and rugged enough (but not too big, like those jogging strollers) to handle bumps, cracks, etc. in a New York City sidewalk
- The handles are SOO comfortable, especially with the foamy grips, and at a perfect height (I'm 5'6"). I wanted to move away from the single-bar-across-type stroller so I could hang a couple of bags on it when we're out shopping.
- The stroller is lightweight and easy to close, so we can bring it with us on vacation
- A decent size storage basket is important to me, too. I usually carry around a lot of stuff and some of the lightweight strollers come with flimsy baskets.

I was prepared to spend around $100 but if I truly found something I loved, I would have spent more. And even though I did test drive those other, more expensive strollers (Jeep, Peg Perego, Trimph, etc.), the Chicco still had the best ride!

I've had the stroller for two weeks now, and I still actually look forward to using it! My posture is even much better because I don't have to use so much energy to push it.

I highly recommend it!

This review is from: Chicco C5 Stroller Alaska (Baby Product)

This is the third stroller I've purchased for my 21 month old daughter. Before this one we had the Inglesina Espresso. I was really satisified with that one until the cloth and basket ripped. After searching for a while I decided to get the Chicco C5. It was so easy to put together. I loved the fact that it included a cup holder and rain cover, which the seller didn't disclose. It is very comfortable to use and the 5-point harness works with my daughter. The handles are comfortable and at a good height (I'm 5'6"). The handle to carry once the stroller is closed is very handy. Especially considering I live in Japan and have to close the stroller frequently at the train stations. I thought the stroller was orange, but it is actually red. It looks very nice, though. Besides the basket, it has a handy pocket in the back. It steers great in tight spaces and doesn't take a lot of space in the trunk, which used to be a deal with my previous stroller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stroller, worth the money!, September 26, 2005

This review is from: Chicco C5 Stroller Alaska (Baby Product)

This stroller is great. I have owned probably 10 strollers between my 2 kids, and this is by far the best lightweight one. I liked my graco stroller that you could snap the car seat into, but it's just too huge. This one is comfortable for my baby (he's 18 lbs), and small and light enough to get in and out of the car easily. Most importantly, the handles are the correct height. Most cheap umbrella strollers are so uncomfortable to push, as you have to hyper-extend your arms and back to push it. I wish I had just spent the money for this stroller in the first place rather than going through all the other ones! Do yourself a favor, and buy it! A good stroller is an investment, and you will use it all the time. I just wish this one had a cupholder. But I read in a review that you can buy an attachable one at BRU, so I will most likely do that.
