4.0 out of 5 stars "almost the perfect" stroller, June 26, 2003

I'd really like to rate the stroller at 4 1/2 stars rather than 4 because it's so close to being the perfect stroller. It has great features, such as having the umbrella fold style to give you more space in your vehicle for example. Also, it reclines, has a pretty good size basket that I think is removable, has a five point harness, huge hood/canopy cover that actually blocks the sun, eight sturdy wheels that allow me to push the stroller on gravel/rocks (like what you would find at a ball field parking lot) without getting stuck, great handles that don't tire my hands, material that doesn't stand for sticky icky stuff or liquids--wipes right off, and the absolute best thing ever for a child...a LEGREST!!! I'd always wonder if my child's legs were comfortable or if they fell asleep in the strollers w/out them.

Yet, I still wish the backing wouldn't be so rigid/sturdy because my 20month old seems to slouch (sort of) which makes the upper part of his legs (thigh area) hang off the edge of the seat. I'm not sure if you can picture this, but I would have liked the seat to support his whole upper leg with the edge of the seat being right under the folding part behind the knee. The problem also makes his little legs hang lower, so every so often his feet hit the wheels. The leg rest pushes his legs frontward so that his feet pass the foot rest. I'm hoping as he gets older, he will learn to actually rest his feet on the footrest rather than allowing them to hang past. Also, once I fold the stroller, it does not let me put the brakes on so if it is standing it rolls back down. Then the locking mechanism is really long and the stroller stays a tiny bit more open than what it could/should. The bad points are not major things, and the good things actually overcome all else.

We had a travel system before, which takes up alot of room, even in a large SUV. We then used the free one from ToysRus, which was okay--it just lacked all the luxuries that the LONDON has which is why I set out on a 6month journey of store looking, internet hunting strollermania marathon type shopping!!!

So, maybe I will never find the perfect stroller, but, I think I've found something pretty close.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Light Stroller to have!!, May 15, 2003

My husband & I were looking to buy a lightweight stroller for travelling for our 6.5 months old baby. The Chicco London caught our eyes. We tested it in the store and like it very much. It is good for baby/toddler up to 33 lbs. Both the front and the back wheels are double-wheels. It is easy to fold and unfold. The stroller comes assembled and we only need to put the sun canopy on. The sun canopy is pretty good size compare to other Chicco light stroller models. The stroller has 5 point harness and several incline positions. It came with a rain shield that covers down to the stepping board to keep the little feet dry. There is a small storage compartment below the stroller that we use to store baby blanket and other light objects. It comes in two colors, red and greyish-blue. We enjoy our new stroller and our baby boy enjoys it, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great umbrella stroller!, May 29, 2003

By

This review is from: Chicco London Stroller - Blue Sky (Baby Product)

i had been looking for a lightweight stroller that folds umbrella style~ all the other travel systems fold horrendously huge! they take up at least 1/2 your trunk space (the bottom half) & going shopping there just isnt enough room for pkgs!

when our son was born we purchased the Graco MetroLight~ lightweight, had all the functions we were looking for, easy to fold even one handed.. the major convience was that the baby seat could go into it so if he was sleeping you didnt have to disturb & unbuckle him. but he outgrew his small infant seat pretty quickly~ before his first bday we had to get a larger car seat so i did research and found the alpha omega, which is just great for travel (can recline) and no having to restrap it as he gets older since headrest adjusts with a back movable & locking mechanism.

we then purchased a umbrella stroller when we went out of town and forgot the stroller~ i loved the way it folded so small but it didnt have any conviences of a regular stroller (no basket, no recline, no large canopy, etc)

I then looked at the chicco caddy stroller~ had a few conviences but not many~ a hood, rain cover, 1 recline, larger wheels. It was basically the only thing that folded just like an easy umbrella stroller on the market UNTIL NOW!
I saw the chicco london and loved it!
a few cons: no stand (have to lay it on the floor or lean against something), no cup holder for yourself, no cup & snack holder for your child, no peek-a-boo hood (clear window).
The pros: hood is detachable & moves from high to low~ very cool! the rain cover, the leg section adjusts for his legs to be out or folded (may break because my son plays with the function alot once he saw us do it a few times), 5point harness (too bad they dont have it buckle like a car seat~ but i havent found one that does yet)
My son is 18 months old~ great fit & he likes it.
Very easy to fold up~ folds up just like an umbrella stroller just with 2 additional connectors to push down, takes up a little more space then a plain jane umbrella stroller but not half as much as the bulky regular strollers/travel strollers/jogging strollers.
I dont know the durability of chiccos nor how their customer service is since this is my first with this brand but it seems well made.
