Chicco - Liteway Stroller

I have a chicco liteway that’s perfect for this. We also have a vista which is great because it’s super comfy, can hold both of my kids if needed, and the basket can hold everything but the kitchen sink. But my baby is 9 months now and I’m starting to use the liteway more for quick trips or outings to the playground where I don’t need to bring much stuff.

Came to say the same! I was gifted a chicco umbrella stroller at my baby shower with my first, fall of 2009. I've used it nonstop over the course of 15yrs (started using it with my 1st around 1yo) with 3 kids + my nephews, and its still in amazing condition!! I've used it to haul groceries, hold 4 HUGE pumpkins we got free at a fall fest, adults have used it as a chair at impromtu beach visits, crazy stuff, and it's still going strong!! Most useful gift I've ever received!! Looks like they're still made the same but with ergonomic handles now. Its called the Chicco Liteway. Not sure which I have and the tag came off so I can't confirm but it looks just like ours.

Honestly, we used the Parker baby co backpack and it killed my back and shoulders…eventually I moved on to a tote bag (I love the horizontal duck bag from baggu) and a nylon shoulder bag (medium size baggu crescent). I also like the various fanny pack diaper bags you can find online. I’ve found that I just need way less stuff than a whole big backpack, even when she was an infant. I’m intrigued by the citymouse diaper bags for my next baby, but I might just keep using my nylon crescent. As far as travel systems go, it really does depend on your taste and your preferences. We had the Chicco travel system and really liked it but I honestly wore my daughter far more often than I used her stroller. Once I stopped wearing her, we switched to the Chicco umbrella stroller. I’m a big fan of all things smaller and more convenient lol

I think it depends what activities you do and how big your car is. I walk and run, so a thule jogging stroller with a car seat adapter made sense. You can't run with a baby, but I bought it knowing that when she was old enough, I could jog with it. It is tough(big!) for running errands, so I bought a cheap tiny chicco umbrella stroller when baby could sit up.. the thule RULES though. If you aren't trying to shop with it, it is great and easy to push. It could fit in the trunk of my car, but both wheels had.to be removed. I just had another kid, so I bought a dual baby jogger running stroller but it doesnt have a car seat adapter, and although rated for newborns for walking. - that is a joke and I dont trust the harness. It was on sale, so that was the only appeal really. I now walk when I have both kids with a veer wagon (cruiser city)..but I need a huge suv to transport it. The wagon is pretty great on pavement so far. It is pricey, but I do really enjoy it so far. I us ea car seat adapter and my toddler chills in it. I plan on using it for times there is ample space (zoo, beach, parks, etx)
