Chicco Caddy Review

What the reviewers like:
Owners say that the Chicco Caddy’s light frame (11-pounds) and carrying strap make it easy to travel with, while its all-terrain dual wheels and one-hand steering make it a fairly easy to handle. For the money, parents say the Chicco Caddy is a good "disposable" stroller.

What the reviewers don’t like:
Lack of storage and low handles are common complaints about the Chicco Caddy umbrella stroller. Parents also report issues with the sun canopy slipping, kids wriggling out of the straps and a footrest that’s too close to the tires. Still the Chicco Caddy is very inexpensive.

Chicco Caddy review highlights

Most parents give the Chicco Caddy umbrella stroller high marks for its 11-pound weight, stylish design, linked rear brakes, zipper pockets on the sun shade and one-hand fold mechanism. Some owners report problems with the footrest being too close to the tires and insufficient storage space. A few parents also indicate that their kids are able to wriggle out of the straps, and some complain about a slipping sun canopy and stuck lap belts. Parents say the Chicco Caddy is a great 'disposable' stroller, obviously not meant to last forever.

Perhaps because it’s so inexpensive, there are a large number of parent-written reviews for the Chicco Caddy umbrella stroller on Epinions, Target.com, Amazon.com and BabyBargains.com. Unfortunately, aside from a single editorial review at Baby-Gaga.com, there are no other professional evaluations to be found for the Chicco Caddy (not even from Consumer Reports, usually a good source of stroller reviews).
