About - Chicco KeyFit Caddy
The Chicco KeyFit Caddy is part of the stroller test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, traditional stroller models like the KeyFit Caddy are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Ease of use: Ease of use is based primarily on ease of using and adjusting the safety harness, folding and unfolding, adjusting backrest, lifting and carrying, engaging wheel brakes and car seat removal and installation (only for compatible strollers). Maneuverability: Maneuverability is assessed by trained staffers on how well the strollers maneuvered S-turns through cones, narrow sections, grass, dirt trails, uphill, downhill and curbs while walking. Safety: Safety is assessed by testing for compliance with the most current version of the standard, ASTM F833-11, and stability and usage tests designed by Consumers Union.

Comment:

We love the chicco caddy! It works perfectly with our chicco key fit 30 car seat and fits in the trunk of our small compact Volkswagon TDI :) We have taken it many places, the park, the mall, around small city sidewalks and streets. We have had no problems or complaints. It's better than any bulky stroller like the BOB!

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Comment:

I bought this because I wanted something easy to use and not to bulky. The problem is that it's not to sturdy and the wheel keeps coming off! I don't know if I got just got a defective one but for the price, I should have just bought the cortina. I thinks it's overall cheap but the car seat does snap in easily.

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
