Chicco - Corso Modular Travel System (Item No. 79610)

With my first baby I had the Chicco KeyFit 30 and the $100ish Caddy that you can buy to go with it. Of all of my strollers that one was my favorite. We used it so much for both of our kids that it got a hole worn in the bottom. I used it many times a day every day. And when she outgrew that we got a very nice Maclaren Volo (thrifted for $25) that was also used several times a day every day. We drive two sedans and it was nice that they fit in the trunk without taking up much room. We also lived on a second floor walk up and both were light enough I could carry the entire stroller (with the kid still strapped in) up the stairs by myself Once we had the second baby we invested in the Uppanbay Vista, and although I love it, I would **NOT** want that thing for everyday use, and I think it is wayyyy overkill for one kid. We use it for places like the zoo where we’ll be walking a lot, or when I walk the older one to school (2 miles each way, 4 miles total). But for day to day we’d just bring the caddy and/or umbrella stroller with us because they’re lighter and easier. Vista has great suspension which is really helpful when you have two heavy kids. It pushes more easily than the cheaper ones. But with one kid I would not get it. Since your kid is already 11 months I’d get a nice umbrella stroller and call it a day (loved our Volo, which is only $100-200, vs over $1000 for the Vista)

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.

Good to know! I do like my Chicco travel system (it’s Chicco Corso) when I need to use a stroller. I will need to decide if I want to just bring this or buy something even more light weight like the Chicco Caddy another person suggested!

Chiming in to support the corso too… it’s worth the investment for the travel system

I love the corso stroller!

I love our Chicco corso! We taking it on city walks and on our bumpy neighborhood walks.

We have the Chicco Corso with the KeyFit35 and I’m super happy with it!

We have the Chicco Corso and have been extremely happy with it so far!

we went with the Corso/Keyfit combo cause I liked the safety ratings on the carseat & the stroller's been great, rugged, sturdy, nice to steer

Yes, got a corso used and am so happy with it! Opening a door is no problem since I'm able to maneuver the stroller easily with one hand. Then there are 3 positions, one being almost all the way back (so baby is basically laying down) so if you have a young baby, or a baby that likes laying down (like my baby did) then it is perfect! As well as having the seat facing you or outward facing

I also have the Chicco Corso travel system and we love it.

Lucie’s List helped me so much when making my registry. The founder goes through tons of options, their pros and cons, price points, etc. it can help you think through what’s most important to you and will fit your lifestyle. I personally wanted an infant car seat with a click in base that had the anti-rebound bar. Having the travel system just made sense to me, so once I picked the car seat, I went with the travel system that included that seat. We got the Chicco Corso and love it!

The corso does have a lay flat option! I have that stroller and love it, I never had a bassinet but didn’t look back thinking I wish I had had it!

Nobody here has said the Chicco Corso yet, but the lie back seat is awesome and the Keyfit 35 car seat blows almost any other car seat out of the water with safety reviews if you’re looking for a travel system. The Corso looks luxury with a mid-range price. Highly recommend.

If you can spare another $100 I would strongly consider getting the Chico corso travel system instead. I’ve been using my corso every day for the last 20 months and it’s holding up great. Reason being is that the corso seat can face both ways and lay flat. The Bravo is a great stroller but it only forward faces so your only option is to use the car seat until your baby is ready to forward face. Evenflo, Graco and Maxi Cosi have similar travel systems under $500 that can also lay flat and face both ways too. Mockingbird single stroller is another option around $400 that can be paired with a Chicco car seat if that’s what you’re prioritizing. ETA: just checked and the corso system is actually only $549 and 20% off on Chicco website btw

Honestly this was so stressful to figure out. I ended up getting a used Graco travel system from a neighbor and then another friend got us the Chicco Corso travel system and we love that thing already! It’s SO easy and lightweight enough. I was also looking at Mockingbird and may have picked that if we weren’t given the others, but I’m happy so far with what we got!

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!
