Owners and experts say the Chicco Trevi (*Est. $113) is an affordable, full-featured stroller that is compatible with the KeyFit and KeyFit 30 infant car seats, forming a travel system. One expert source notes that for users who don't need heavy duty strollers, the Chicco brand is a good "cute and cheap" choice. The Trevi receives kudos from customers for its affordability, comfort and ease of use. On the negative side, there are complaints about a lack of features, such as a small basket, flimsy parent cupholder and, more seriously, quality problems with the front wheels. We also found some contradiction about the stroller's size when folded. Some say the Trevi's 3D fold is compact and easy to maneuver, while others say it's heavy and bulky when folded. For just a few dollars more, the Graco MetroLite has more features than the Trevi, and it can become a travel system.

The best expert review of the Chicco Trevi, and the Chicco brand in general, is in "Baby Bargains," a book by Denise and Alan Fields which offers buying advice to parents. There are ample owner reviews, which give a good overview of how the Trevi handles in real-world situations and over the long term.
