Chicco Liteway® Compact Lightweight Umbrella Stroller for Babies & Toddlers up to 40 lbs - Aluminum Frame, Easy Fold, Dune/Brown | Perfect for Travel, Shopping & Everyday Use

This stroller worked great for our first big vacation with our 9 month old. He was about 29 inches at the time of the trip so check out the photos for reference on how he fit in the seat. We took the Chicco Lightway to Maui, Hawaii, so you can imagine we did quite a bit of walking on varying inclines/declines and strolled on grass, concrete, asphalt, and slightly sandy and wet surfaces. The stroller performed exceptionally well on all of the above. Flying with this stroller was extremely easy. The basket is big enough to carry a backpack-sized diaper bag or carry on as long as the seat isn’t in the more reclined positions. We strolled to our gates and gate checked the stroller with a separately purchased stroller travel bag (highly recommended to keep the stroller from getting damaged.) This stroller isn’t the lightest. Other brands have lighter options. However, it isn’t inconveniently heavy and I’m not sure lighter strollers are as sturdy as this one. The front and back wheels have breaks to ensure the stroller doesn’t more side to side when using the breaks. It’s so easy to maneuver, even while using one hand. There were plenty of times I was carrying something in one hand while steering the stroller with the other and it was super easy to manage. It’s a convenient height. For reference, in the pictures, my husband is 5’9” and I’m 5’2.” The wheels are plastic but seem really durable. As I mentioned earlier, we strolled over all sorts of terrain and the wheels are still in great shape. Overall, this stroller was perfect for our trip and we’re planning on continuing to use it on our future travels.
