Chicco - Activ3 Jogging Stroller Travel System

When we had our first kid we went with a Chicco travel system and it did the job without costing anywhere close to a grand.

Bobs are all the rage but EXPENSIVE. We ended up with the Chicco Activ3 travel system and I have yet to find a trail that my friends Bob can manage that my Chicco can’t plus my car seat can click into the stroller with no adapter and I can seat my child fully up (some joggers can’t and some kids don’t like the recliner). Graco also has a similar model

We got a chicco and it’s like $350-$400 for the car seat AND stroller but they run frequent sales and we personally love ours! Swing was less than $100, we just at the moment cannot fathom a $1000 stroller/car seat combo.  Walmart sales, target sales, everything in between. Comparison will forever be the thief of things and I can say my baby will not remember things what stroller 

We love our Chicco car seat and stroller (the stroller handles amazingly well and is super easy to fold up/open) and the oxo dispenser is great too!

We’re happy with our Chicco activ3

Yes I like it! You can totally see the baby. The car seat snaps in facing you. It sits partially on top of the lap bar

I picked a jogging stroller despite never jogging and I’m so glad I did. It is SO much more maneuverable than the traditional 4 wheeled stroller. It’s also a travel system so the infant car seat snaps right in. ETA: I have a chicco activ3

I have one- the chicco activ3. I’m on my second kid with it. - It folds up and fits in my trunk - handles pavement, grass, gravel, dirt, puddles, etc. - can be easily pushed/steered one-handed (very very easily) - infant car seat snaps into it - plenty of space in the bottom for diaper bag, groceries, etc. I did add an after market snack cup to it.

We did a Chico stroller and car seat combo for our first. Taking the car seat out of the car and dropping it right into the stroller was great. We took that thing everywhere, even thru airports, on planes, Disney, etc. used it for our 3 other kids as well and now it’s sitting in my garage shelf 9 years later. When we had #2 the UBs had come out and we went to test drive them..the 1x1 configuration made it so hard to turn we ended up getting a citi-mini double. Also have taken that to Disney, and Europe, and still have it. We did end up getting a UB Umbrella for when we didn’t need the double and for easier portability. Still got that one too! Yeah the UB is the BMW of strollers, but you might end up wanting / needing another stroller depending on your needs anyway, so save some coin and use it for diapers!

My toddler is 2.5 and we only have an umbrella stroller that we only use for Disneyland, other than that we just end up pushing an empty stroller around. We got rid of our bulky Chicco stroller soon after she learned to walk. The fact that you have a stroller just for the looks is so ridiculous, especially if you’re scared of dirtying it up. I’ve realized now that kids will somehow gravitate towards the items you hold dearest and break them or mess them up. I say you donate one of the strollers you don’t use as much or list it somewhere if you want some of the money back.

We had the chicco keyfit and loved it! Our daughter had no issue with it. We also got the chicco stroller that the carseat can just click in and out of. Our toddler is almost 3 and we still use the stroller regularly - it’s not too heavy and SUPER easy to set up and collapse. Pregnant with our second and doing the keyfit again.

My chicco jogging stroller held a bravo carseat. I could probably have gate checked it on a plane if I had wanted to, but it wouldn’t have been the most ideal. It had a small amount of storage. I never used a stroller with a bassinet attachment though.
