I'm thinking about replacing my Graco Alano travel system with a Chicco Cortina Key Fit 30 travel system. How do you like the Chicco travel system? Pros & cons?
TIA!!

I have it and love it...I dont have any others to compare to though. The only con is that the carseat doesnt fit in shopping carts easily....i usually put her in the basket part instead of on the seat prt bc it doesnt fit well and is wobbly if that makes sense. gracos have that noych that fits over the seat back of the carts but the chicco doesnt.

I have it and I love it, too. It maneuvers well and I love that you can rock the seat if you're out somewhere with baby in it for a little bit. That was useful when we went places when Amelia was smaller. The only negative - and it really doesn't bother me - is that the bottom section for storing stuff itsn't as big as some others. But it has still been plenty big enough for us.

I have the Cortina 22 and I love it. The car seat is easy to install and easy to use. I can get her in and out without a problem. The stroller is easy to maneuver, easy to use - I can open it with one hand. The only cons are you can't access the basket when you're using the car seat in the stroller (the seat has to be completely reclined) and it's bulky and takes up most of the space in the trunk of my car.

Honestly, I wish that I had just bought the Chicco car seat with the Snap N Go stroller to make my life easier. The stroller just sits in my car (I live on the third floor of a four-story walk-up so that's just my personal problem). But other than that I really love it.

I had the chicco CT 01, which is the European version, it just has 2 handles instead of a joined one and is umbrella folding. I loved it, its light and easy to move around and the chasis is strong enough to have a buggy board on the back (mine was borrowed from my SIL who used it for 2 kids and Ana makes 3 and its still going strong). The carseat is light and locks really well to the chassis, mine is a synthesis carseat so up to 25lb, it fits nicely in the car and I never take it in or out as personally I dont like babies in the car seat for trips out. We also had the hard sided basinette to fit on to make a pram. It all fits in a VW polo and the seat covers are machine washable (it says handwash, but after 2 kids through it it needed a freshen up!!)

I recommend it for a NB, even though from 4 months I used my Silver cross (Maclaren umbreela) stroller.

Although I don't have it, i did a lot of research and this is the one I registered for. I'm glad to see others love it though!
