Just wanted to know if anyone had any feedback on Chicco strollers. In particular, your opinions of the C1, C6, and Cortina?

Thanks! :-D

I recently posted a review of my C1 at the review area. It is pretty detailed -- the short version is that I absolutely love the stroller -- but if you have specific questions about certain features I'd be happy to answer them. Good luck!

I love my Chicco C1 also. Very well made!! Folds easy, reclines easy, nice big canopy, love the rotating handles. Also love that it stands when folded.

How do you like the C1 handles and the storage vs the Cortina's? I am interested in the Chicco strollers as well as I love the infant car seat. I prefer the umbrella style strollers on other makers but none of the local stores have a C1 for me to check out. The weight and the storage might also be a concern for me. I love the Cortina stroller (minus the handle) but it seems heavy.

When looking I couldn't find a C1 locally anywhere to test drive. I emailed Chicco asking if they could give me the name of a local dealer and they told me the C1 was discontinued and that is why I was having trouble finding it. We ended up with the Cortina, which is a little larger then I thought I wanted but I really do like it. Folds super easy, stands upright, lots of storage and the KeyFit seat snaps in and out super easy. It is a bit heavy but not hard to lift into the trunk or too bulky for me to handle easily. The extra tall handle was a plus for us as my dh is 6'4" and I was concerned about ordering the C1 unseen as he felt the Pliko P3 was a little short for him to push.

The C1 is out of commission? If that's the case, why is it on the Babies R Us web site?

Is the Key Fit car seat compatible with any of the stroller frames out there like the Snap n' Go or the Universal Car seat holder?

The C1 is discontinued but many stores have lots of stock left. Albee baby has a great sale going so now is a great time to buy.

The Keyfit does fit on stroller frames. I think the Kolcraft one and the Maclaren Easy Traveller.
