Reviews of the Chicco C6 are mainly mixed. Owners and experts call it a good-looking, lightweight (11-pound) umbrella stroller, but one source says its hard plastic, nonadjustable handles can be uncomfortable over prolonged use, and we found more than one complaint from parents about their feet kicking against the back wheels. The slightly more expensive Chicco C5 (*est. $90) receives better (though still mixed) reviews. Other alternatives in a simple umbrella stroller include the Kolcraft Jeep Wrangler Umbrella Stroller (*est. $35), which costs less but has a non-reclining seat.

The only thorough review we could find of the Chicco C6 umbrella stroller isn't of the C6 at all, but of the practically identical Chicco Caddy CT0.6 (which has a less fancy canopy), by the British consumer publication Which.co.uk. The Chicco C6 also receives a handful of remarks from parents posting to Amazon.com, Epinions, and the forum section of the Baby Bargains book website, the companion site to the popular baby-gear book of the same name.
