Chicco - Corso LE Modular Travel System

I have a 2.5 month old so I’m sure my answer will be subject to change once they’re older, but I got the Chicco Corso Modular with the infant keyfit 35 car seat. It was important to me for the infant seat to fit in the stroller because of timing with summer to try and get baby out of the house on walks. But even for winter, at some point you’ll want to go into a store or somewhere with your baby and having the stroller/car seat combo saved my sanity in those early days when I felt trapped in the house. The nice thing about the modular is that it has both the infant car seat attachment and the regular attachment for rear and front facing views for once they’re older, so it’s not just a stroller for when they are babies (this is why I steered away from bassinet strollers). It also has rubber wheels which are good for multiple terrains (versus plastic wheels that can get damaged easily). This is just one mom’s perspective, but hopefully it helps!

I love the Chicco Corso LE!

Until I had 2 kids and upgraded to a side-by-side double stroller, I never felt like I needed anything other than my Chicco Corso LE, and I chose it over the UB V2. It might be worth looking into to see if it meets your criteria.

I have never flown with it, but I have done plenty of road trips with it.

I have the Chicco KeyFit 35 and the Corso Modular and love it. Also looked into a rotating infant car seat however we always take the entire car seat out because we live in a very hot climate so we like to keep the car seat inside and it’s easier to buckle her in when we are in the house and just pop the car seat in. Also love the stroller. We walk about 5 miles a day between my husband and I and we both love it. Very easy to open and close and put in our van.

Little girl is coming in about a week and a half. We went with the Chicco Corso LE and love it. We’ll see once there’s a little babe to push around… 🤪

This is what I got!

I love our Chicco Corso - it handles incredibly well and is a more budget option that still feels luxe. I think I paid $250 for it new in box from GoodBuyGear.

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!

Love my chicco corso LE stroller and key fit 35 car seat combo. Looks very nice, collapses great, and the car seat is one of the most highly rated seats year after year.

Depends how your going to be using your stroller. If your going to be walking/jogging down that dirt road regularly or be in rural areas a lot, your gonna want some sort of jogger stroller or something with inflatable wheels. If your going to keep it in your vehicle and use it for when your going shopping in the city, going out to eat, and use it for an urban sort of lifestyle, with tad bits of times you walk the stroller on gravel, grass, etc, maybe a good all terrain full stroller with good suspension like Uppababy Cruz, Nuna Mixx Next, Bugaboo Fox 5. If you want something more budget friendly in this category maybe the Chicco Corso or Bravo stroller,Graco Modes Nest 2 grow. Jogger strollers include BabyJogger city mini gt, Thule Urban Glide, Guava Roam, Uppababy Ridge, etc. A carseat is 100% necessary, so no matter what, that should be the 1st thing you look at. Find 1 you like, then look at what strollers its compatible with (usually you might have to buy a separate adapter if you use a different brand of carseat from the stroller). You can always look at what strollers already come as part of a bundled travel system with that carseat. But before you even get started looking at carseats, you need to make a decision ifbyour going to use an Infant Carseat (pill bug looking seats), or a convertible carseat (the big ones that stay in a vehicle), or both.

We bought the Chicco Corso travel system and I absolutely love it. It’s super easy to switch the attachments to either snap the car seat in or smart the modular seat in. We also had the infant insert so that baby could use the modular seat from the newborn stage. We use the car seat click in attachment when we’re just running into the store quickly and use the seat for all other times.

I have the Chicco Corso and love it! We bought the LE, but if you do get it, I would recommend getting the Primo Cleartex one. It comes with the infant insert (we bought this separately) and the cleartex car seat that has the comfier car seat padding. We bought a second infant car seat (the cleartex one) for the other car and our son seemed to like being in that one more which I get because the material is softer and comfier than the material that comes in the car seat in the LE. But my son is 5 months old (he’s about 19lbs now and was 26” at his last height check over a month ago) and was starting to look a little cramped and it was getting harder to grab the straps from behind him since they’d fall if I positioned them so it wouldn’t be as hard, so we just moved him up to his big boy seat. But we’re still using the stroller with the modular seat and love it. For the car seat, he loved it. When we put him in before leaving the hospital he didn’t cry and just got comfy in it for the drive home. He did start crying for going in or out, but would settle pretty easy and seemed to like his car seat. We use the stroller daily and I think my only real problem with it is that the seat doesn’t go completely upright at 90° and has maybe 3-4 positions from flat to it’s most inclined position so when he was first learning to sit up, he kept pulling himself forward against the straps. (As a side note, the mockingbird single to double is the only stroller I’ve seen that has an upright position and it is in the running for a future double stroller.) The stroller basket is supposed to be for up to 10lbs, but I frequently put way more than 10lbs and it holds. Ive put quite a few heavy soup cans with our other groceries and my heavy purse in the basket and it’s held and doesn’t show any signs of it going out despite me constantly being way over its limit. The Corso doesn’t fold up to fit in an airplane overhead bin (though I question if any can because I haven’t found one that has reviews of people saying they used it specifically in the overhead bin on ______ airline) and can be a little bulky if you leave the attachments on. I personally take the seat off and throw it into the back of our intermediate sized suvs. I’ve been able to fit the stroller, a diaper caddy that stays in the car, and all the Costco groceries in the back of our car while still being able to see out the back window. I don’t have this stroller, but I contemplated getting the Uppababy Minu v3 as an additional stroller so I don’t have to keep pulling the one we currently have in and out of the car when we want to go on walks. It’s a travel stroller that can supposedly fit in the overhead bin, but also a disclaimer that it’s up to airline staff whether they’ll let it on the plane or not. The pictures show it fold up pretty compact and it is compatible with their two Uppababy car seats and I think a couple nuna ones, but you do have to buy their adapters. If you wanted the snack tray or a stroller organizer, you’d have to buy those separately. And I know for a fact that they sell a travel bag for the stroller on the website so I think this stroller would meet your needs, I just don’t personally have it and cannot give an opinion on it.
