Chicco - Cortina Together Double Stroller

I could not stomach the price tag of some of the popular brands. We used Chicco keyfit car seats so went all chicco strollers. We got the bravo system for our first, then when our second arrived we got the Cortina double for them both and the keyfit caddy for a minimal car seat only stroller. My favorite is the keyfit caddy. It’s light and maneuverable. Super easy. The cortina is a beast, so pretty annoying, but necessary if you have two. The bravo was a great city stroller with only one.

Chicco Cortina Together 🫶 - reasonable price for a double stroller - can have two car seats, two toddler seats, or 1 of each in either front or back - not a side by side and is VERY slim - the back toddler seat converts into a makeshift bassinet and can also be used as a changing station I’m not going to lie, it’s heavy and bulky. But once you get some practice in unfolding and folding it it can be a quick process. My husband and I have mastered unloading the stroller and our 2 littles in less than a minute! I use it for grocery trips, walks, doctor’s appointments…literally everything.

It handles terrain a lot better than the Bravo, I will say that. It’s heavy, so it feels more like pushing a wagon (or a baby bus as we call it lol) but honestly I kind of prefer that. It feels a little more secure imo? That’s correct, if the car seat is in the back and the toddler is in the front, the toddler cannot recline at all. If our toddler wants to nap we just switch them around so that our baby is in the front. It makes the stroller appear longer, but I’m still able to reach over to the baby just fine. One of the biggest complaints we had in the beginning was how difficult it was to attach the car seat. It took some practice but now it’s such an easy process. Probably my only complaint as of right now is that you can’t really reach into the basket under the seats if the car seat is in the back. We tend to not store anything under there, but if we did the stroller would need to be set up with the car seat in the front so that the basket was accessible.

We use Chicco car seats so we got the Chicco cortina together. Love it. It’s heavy though. I don’t mind because it’s solid as heck. We’ve taken it to the zoo, field trips, on a plane, Disney, etc. not one issue.

We have that stroller and it takes up about 90% of our sedan trunk and will only fit if it’s directly in the center of the trunk.

We have a Chicco double stroller that also lets us pop their infant car seats on without using any adaptors. Once they’ve outgrown the infant car seats we’ll probably still use the stroller for a while as it fits in our trunk nicely. Eventually I’ll want to get a side by side as the one we have is tandem.

You love it. Your baby is used to it. (Some have a hard time adjusting to a new one). From photos, it doesn't look very big. I'd say definitely bring it over, and if you find it inconvenient to use in certain settings, you can always get a smaller one here. For reference, we had a Chicco Cortina back in the day, and it was fine. Yours looks similar in size.

I have the Chicco Cortina and it has worked great for use. We already had chicco keyfit seats so it made sense for us. I really loved that the car seats snapped into the regular seats so it wouldn’t become obsolete. I bet the Grace system is pretty similar. Just make sure it will fit in the trunk. Mine barely fits in the trunk of my minivan!

Same. It's hefty and barely fits my trunk either.

Yeah we have a chicco stroller for the infant seat but spent the money on a Thule chariot bc we run and will eventually bike with baby

I have a Chicco and it’s midrange at best and I wish I had gone with a more expensive one. I live in NYC so it would have been enormously important for maneuverability.

Honestly, the Chicco stroller that has been rained on several times and what not works just fine and I spent $400 on that and the infant car seat and base. I toyed with purchasing a Mockingbird but ultimately decided against it because she’s going to out grow it and selling it seems silly. The umbrella stroller I used on vacation last year was a more worthwhile purchase and I will probably break it out again for summertime adventures (i.e. zoo, aquarium, etc.)

Agreed on the luxury brands of strollers/car seats. I have a chicco stroller and a Graco car seat and they’re snacking
