KeyFit Caddy Frame Stroller

I also have this and I have no complaints!

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.

The best stroller for you might actually be two different strollers. We have a Cruz for neighborhood walks and long outings, and a Chicco caddy that lives in our car for quick trips. The Cruz is a great stroller but it weighs almost 25 lbs and takes up my whole trunk. I would hate to travel with it.

I have a Chicco car seat and got the matching stroller caddy so I just pop the car seat in and boom it’s on wheels. It’s not usable as a stroller without the car seat but it’s absolutely perfect while the baby is small and it glides so smoothly and is super light and easy to fold up. I’m quite short at just 5’ tall and have no problem loading this in and out of the house and car by myself. I also had an artificial disc replacement in my neck like six months before I got pregnant so I was on a 10lb lift restriction for a long time so I’m not as strong as I used to be. This is so light and easy to use for me. Also, I live where it’s currently snowy but we had a few warmer days recently so I was able to take the baby out for a walk and this stroller caddy did great with the rocks and rock salt everywhere. https://a.co/d/09XvsOMY

Suburban mom here and we have two. One is the barebones Chicco caddy for our Chicco Keyfit car seat. Super lightweight so we leave it in the car, but it will be useless once the baby outgrows her infant car seat. It’s great for grocery runs. We also have a handmedown Uppababy Cruz v1 from a former neighbor, which I bring on long walks or anywhere that needs more stability And then honestly, lately I’ve just been wearing my daughter face-out in our ergobaby embrace carrier. She loves it and I like carrying her that way. I’ve been using the strollers way less because of that.

Our first stroller was a Chicco Activ travel system with the infant carseat. We LOVE it! We have a lot of different walking paths near us which include paved, gravel, dirt, etc and that thing rides soooo smooth. The storage basket is a great size and the infant seat clicks right in. It has served us well through toddlerhood, too. The seat recliner which we love. My only concern would be there is no snack holder, so we purchased an off-brand attachment. It does fold but it is not very compact. Since we had the chicco carseat, we also got the caddy frame (used) for quick outings/errands while they were still in the infant seat. Storage basket is again a great size. That thing is super lightweight and folds flat for easy storage. I am a smaller woman and can easily get it in and iut of my car. We actually also ended up using it as a shopping cart by clipping reusable bags on it after my kid grew out of the infant seat LOL. We took a trip to Disneyland last year, and ended up buying a (used) Chicco Bravo. Lol! We stuck with the same brand bc you can click an infant seat into that one, too, and we figured we'd have another kid. This is a great day-to-day option. Storage basket is great size (can you tell I like the storage baskets? Lol. We have a large backpack). Rides smooth on flat/paved roads. Toddler enjoys it. Infant seat clicks right in. Seat recliner on this one, too. We take this one when we're going out and about but need a stroller, like the Zoo or, as mentioned- Disneyland. It does have a snack tray. It folds in half and is much much easier to get in and out of a car than the activ. Now that we have #2 on the way....... we also got a babytrend navigator wagon 🤣 (which is insane bc we have a SMALL house with very little storage but..... here we are). There is an option to click-in an infant seat and I believe its pretty universal but am not sure. It has double canopy and double snack tray. The wheels handle all-terrain and it rides really smooth. We got this because my toddler doesnt always want to ride, so a double stroller made no sense to us, but baby can lay in the basket for walks or sit up when big enough. Its also nice for being able to use to haul stuff around, not just for kids. It does not fold compact, and is heavy. I dont enjoy getting it in and out of the car by myself. But otherwise, super happy with it. We never intended to have a collection lol. But, if I had to pick just one, I'd stick with the Activ because the daily walks with the all-terrain capability is super important to us.
