Baby Gear Review: Chicco C6 Stroller Tangerine

Solid, take anywhere stroller!

We got this stroller for when we travelled. We didn't want to get an expensive 2nd stroller only to lose it in another continent (we know someone who lost their $200+ Maclaren at the Bangkok airport) but we didn't want to get a cheap, uncomfortable stroller either. The Chicco umbrella stroller was the perfect fit for us. Not too expensive so that we'd sweat if we lost it travelling and our baby girl, now 15 months old, likes it very much. Yes, there's a slight recline in the seat but our baby just relaxes into the seat. Then it zips down to unfold a second recline which is great for when baby is sleepy. Now, this isn't a stroller with all the bells and whistles (no cup holder and a only a small basket under the seat) so do consider this when looking for one. But it's a super lightweight stroller and so easy to manueuver. I am 5' 2" and hubby is 6' 1" and we both find it comfortable to push around. Hubby hasn't complained of kicking the wheels so can't comment on that issue. We've taken it everywhere and it still looks new(ish). I also like the tangerine color (doesn't show the dirt) and got a matching skip hop bag to attach at the back for additional storage space, the front pocket of which I use as a cup holder. A bonus - the purchase includes a stroller bag which is an additional expense with other strollers. Zip the stroller in the bag and leave at gatecheck!

Get up and go

This is a great stroller. It's very light, folds up well and so small in the back of my mini van. My husband and I use this for both my 8 month old and 2 year old. The younger baby uses it more and seems to enjoy her ride. The strap which goes near the crotch is fixed very close to the edge of the seat, so my baby doesn't stay seated towards the back of the chair. She kind of slides towards the front, but not usually. For my 2 year old, this problem is not an issue since she is bigger. The position of the chair in its fullest recline isn't as far back as I would like but it is at an angle that makes my baby comfortable enough to fall asleep. My husband is 5'11" and he sometimes kicks the back of the stroller if he is not aware of his distance. The plastic lock that holds the stroller closed when folded is extremely difficult to latch on, but not hard to open. The tangerine color is beautiful too. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that needs a single, lightweight, all-purpose stroller.

I'd give it NO stars if I could!!

This is just a few of the MANY reasons I hate this thing. 1) I have to bend over really far to push it (I'm only 5'7") 2) My husband and I both kick the wheels constantly when pushing it 3)When it folds up the wheels touch the sun shade and it gets FILTHY dirty. Mine looked disgusting after using it for the first time. 4) It's hard to steer 5) the storage basket is practically non-existant 6) The sun shade is a joke...it blocks NO sun 7) My daughter seems uncomfortable in it...she's always fussy in it. She doesn't fuss in her full size Graco stroller. 8) no cup holder for mommy or baby. 9)It only reclines an inch or two at best

solid stroller for the money

We purchased this stroller for our trip to NYC. We needed something lightweight and easy to fold and carry in the city. Our regular stroller is a Zooper Waltz, not super heavy at 17 lbs so we wanted something significantly lighter. The stroller performs great and I'm glad I didn't pay the extra money for the higher end umbrella models. Since we've been home we've kept it in the trunk of the car in place our regular stroller since it takes up such little room. My only compliant: the latch to hold it close is tough, but it seemed to loosen up the more we used it.

Serves purpose, mild comfort issues

As a lightweight stroller, it serves its purpose. It actually feels about 10 pounds, fits well inside the trunk and also easy to open and close. The colors available are all sharp and pretty pleasing. It's also hard to get dirty, which is a plus. The downside is that the harness between the legs are sewn in too far distal in the seat so that a smaller kid (and my baby is already 13 months) tend to slide forward in the seat so that he ends up slumped down instead of properly in the angle of the seat. The handlebars are sort of short and your back gets tired easily. Also, my stride is sort of long and my feet keeps on bumping into the wheels.
