5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Stroller!!!, May 3, 2004

We owned a full sized stroller, but purchased the Caddy for our vacation. I couldn't be MORE pleased with this stroller for many reasons. ***Super light weight design makes airplane travel easy.* ***Very easy to maneuver...even can steer fairly easy with one hand.* ***Carrying shoulder strap comes with it so you can throw it over your shoulder. We found this handy at the airport.* ***Sun shade has a small adjustable lip on the end which didn't really do much, but the sun shade itself was sufficent for our beach trip.* ***Has a HARNESS OVER THE SHOULDERS AND WAIST...very important for us with a wiggly 10 month old. I never worry about him falling out.* ***Extremely easy to clean. Our son has an easy gag reflex, so he throws up often (nice!). This stroller has been in the shower many times for a good washing & looks brand new. We did have to oil the wheels as they began to squeek with water exposure, but I would expect this to happen with any metal exposed to water.* ***Two position recline is nice. The upright position is nice so my son can see...he hates his regular stroller because it won't sit upright very much & he has to hold himself up. We use the Caddy for this reason almost daily now! The recline position is only a few inches reclined, but my son was able to take daily naps at the pool on vacation in the recline position & seemed very comfortable.* ***Under stroller storage basket is available. It's small, but you can leave it on when you fold up the stroller & it's large enough to hold a small diaper bag, or a few shopping items...we used it regularly for those extra things that needed to be carried.**** Only complaint... I'm 5'2" and find the handle length to be just right. My mom is 5'5" and has trouble with kicking the wheels as she pushed the stroller...she thought the handles were too short/low. My husband is 6'0" and said it was OK for him...he just kept his arms straight and he didn't have a problem. Not a big complaint, but if you're tall, you will have to adjust how you push the stroller. I would ABSOLUTELY choose this stroller over any umbrella stroller around. It's sturdy, mid-priced, attractive, comfortable for my baby, and most important, I feel it's very safe. Good luck!

This review is from: Chicco Red Caddy Stroller - 61099.70. (Baby Product)

I have been usinsg this stroller for almost a year. I use it every single day to go to school, for which I have to take the subway and I have few complaints.

PROS:

- My son is now 3 years old and he still fits very well and sleeps comfortably in recline position.



- The structure is very sturdy and stable and the wheels steer very well.



- Has great traction! runs well on light snowy/icy pavement and bumpy irregular surfaces.



- Light enough to carry up stairways.



- Great to take along on plane trips! I've taken this stroller to Florida, New Jersey, Pennsilvannia and the Caribbean!



CONS

- Locking latch and carry strap break easily. I can easily close it but I cannot carry it on my back.



- Sun canopy is tiny and doesn't stay in place. When pulled back, shade will slip out.



- Uncomfortable for tall parents (Hubby is 6'2") and he can't stand the backache!(OK for me 5'5")



- Raincover is very convenient but won't las long. Mine is ripped after about 5 months.

We purchased 2 of these strollers for our vacation and the Prince Lionheart connectors so that one of us could push both together - or we could go our separate ways at times.

We are thrilled with these strollers. They popped up and down quickly, they are lightweight, our 2 yr old and 5 yr old fit fine in them and they both slept while being pushed through Disney World. The 5 yr old is 40 inches tall and about 32 lbs. and I think her height is about the tallest a child could be comfortable in this stroller. Her head was almost touching the canopy but she never complained.

The canopy is a great asset by allowing us to pull it out a little, bend it down in different spots - or even bend it back and up. There is also a square zippered pouch hanging down in the back from the canopy which was perfect for tissues, cell phones and camera. The basket underneath is shallow but perfect for a Ziploc bag with 4 diapers and wipes.

We also purchased the Jolly Jumper stroller caddy for each to hold their juice cups and bottles of water. They fit perfectly and worked like a charm. Pushing both kids was easy even our ten yr old was taking turns. And when the two strollers were connected as long as you push the heavier child and locked the front wheels, it was great.

This stroller is so much more durable, sturdy and safe than a regular umbrella stroller. We are really pleased with this purchase and have realized it made our vacation so much more enjoyable because they are so portable in and out of shuttle buses and train rides.
