Chicco - KeyFit Caddy Frame Stroller

I’m also confused. As a mom of three I guess I can see through all the marketing gimmicks and actually know what you NEED. I love the KeyFit caddy stroller by Chicco. Once baby is sitting upright I just use a cheap umbrella - the kind you can get for $35 at Walmart. I can’t imagine spending $1,000 on a 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.

My baby is 9 weeks old. Here are the things we have: [Huggies](https://www.target.com/p/huggies-sunshine-pack-diaper-bag-black/-/A-92118189) diaper backpack: lots of storage, easy to wash, unisex, not too expensive. We like it. Chicco Keyfit 30: infant bucket car seat that fared very well in safety ratings. No complaints. Chicco Keyfit Caddy: super lightweight, basic stroller frame for the car seat. We take this in and out of stores, doctors appointments, etc. It is a very simple solution and we like it! Uppababy Cruz with infant insert: this stroller is a dream for walks. I imagine we’ll use it more as she grows. We do not take it in/out of the car unless absolutely necessary, because it is HEAVY. I think we’ll keep all of these things for our next baby. They work well for us, no complaints.

We are city dwellers without a car and I'm an overthinker and ultimately, we just decided to prioritize portability/weight and ease of use over pretty much everything else (longevity, finding The One Travel System To Rule Them All, build quality, aesthetics, etc). It was just too difficult to accommodate all of the requirements for multiple stages otherwise. We ended up with two car seats and essentially three strollers that have covered most all of our bases from newborn to 2.5yo so far. Hopefully my long rambly thought process can help you figure out if you can shift any of your priorities and make things a little easier... During the infant stage, we just used the Chicco Keyfit 35 + Caddy stroller frame as our regular stroller. Not the sleekest setup but comparable to the Nunas in weight and a lot cheaper. I was able to haul the whole assembly with kid up a flight of stairs, but often just popped baby+seat out of the frame and ran them up separately. The seat is super easy to install just using seatbelts without a base. We got the Zoe Tour v1 (with upgraded wheels and car seat adapter) when we started flying with the kid. We're both tall so we needed something bigger than the super-compact 'fits in an overhead compartment' strollers, and this is our daily driver so we needed a basket that could actually hold things. It's comparable in size and function to the Minu (which I got and returned) but with more plastic parts, it feels a little cheaper but is also significantly lighter. When she outgrew the infant seat, we got a Cosco Scenera Next. It's bulky and barebones but lightweight, I can't imagine hauling anything heavier around town for errands, etc. For travel, we carted it around in a bag for a bit but then someone gave us a gb Pockit. I'd dismissed it originally, but if something happened to ours I'd defintely be repurchasing. The Pockit is flimsy feeling and the basket is non-existant but holy crap when you need a really tiny stroller it is AMAZING. It literally fits in a totebag under an airplane seat! You can finagle it so that the the kid sits in the Scenera while it's strapped to the stroller so that's what we do now for air travel and rideshare errands around town. I've been meaning to figure out the best way to stash/hang the Pockit in the Zoe; we're expecting #2 now, and I think between that and a universal buggy board, we'll be able to avoid the dreaded double stroller. I'm also really excited for the kid to get big enough for a booster/SafeRide vest. \*phew!\*

We have the chicco click system with carseat and stroller. The carseat was easy to install and move around as needed—even traveled with it and the base. We had the keyfit 30. When my baby outgrew that we got the gracco extend2fit as a replacement for the carseat. Have loved all of them and they go on sales often. :) you do not need all the social media ones—our baby is just as safe and comfy as all the fancy lil Nuna and Doona babies! And he still loves his chicco stroller!!

We used chicco keyfit and loved it. Still use the stroller at 1 year old. Definitely a more budget friendly option but still works great

Lovevery playmate for sure, thankfully it was a gift, I can not believe it was 140 for some fabric and a wooden arch I literally could've made at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I actually love our Nanit. We do the love to dream swaddles and 10/10 recommend, and we have the Chico key fit stroller and carseat combo, also 10/10 recommend, super light and easy to fold. Hatch is so far useless. Honestly Muslim burp clothes, as many as possible, and the mylicon gas drops have been the absolute best.

-Graco swing the one that sways it’s big but I loved it -Chico keyfit was our stroller with the matching car seat -Graco Turn 2 me , Black Friday sale lol

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

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
