Chicco Cortina Stroller - Extreme

Comments about Chicco Cortina Stroller - Extreme:

I selected this as part of the travel set with the Chicco Keyfit 30, which is an excellent car seat and top rated everywhere I looked! I wrote a review on that, too. I mainly got the stroller because it goes with the car seat. When your baby is a newborn, you will use the car seat plus stroller for walks and things because it cocoons your baby to put the car seat on the stroller. Then when he can sit up you will put him in the stroller by itself.

Anyway, this is a great stroller. It is like a Jeep as far as hardy and able to keep steady on uneven terrain. Good shocks! I have crummy sidewalks here that disappear sometimes and I have to push my son on grass, etc. This keeps him comfortable. It is durable.

It is heavy, yes. If you have a problem lifting things then you might need to check this out first and see if you can handle it. Also, it is a little big so you would need to check that it will fit in your trunk. That was not a problem for us as we have a Taurus and I am strong physically. I really like this stroller and the Chicco customer service is excellent.
I definitely recommend it.

We use this stroller for walks, trips to the mall and travel. So far it has worked well. smooth ride, plenty of storage and easy fold up. I wish the seat had an option for it to be straight up, my son tries to sit straight up and the restraints keep him back, which leads to our issue. the options for the straps do not come in a large enough size. the waist is already to tight and he is 22 pounds. what are we supposed to do when he gets bigger? When he has the seat reclined to take a nap i cannot use the shoulder straps because then he cannot lay flat, his body gets all crunched up. we got this stroller b/c it looked neutral and had certain things we were looking for: single hand fold, cup holders, single handle with multiple postitions. i wish i had known that it does not sit straight up and the straps were to short. oh well.

This stroller goes perfectly with it's counterpart, the Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat. Love the oversize basket underneath for storage and it is easy to wheel around. I give it 4 stars only since it is bulky and heavy. Thus, it takes up more storage room and is heavier to lift in and out of the trunk. If you have a compact car, this stroller will take up most, if not all, of your trunk space.

This is a good stroller. It's strudy, durable, and super-easy to pull in and out of your car all day long. But the biggest issue for me was that my son likes to sit straight up and the seat only has 3 recline positions, no "sit straight up" position. It was too expensive for us to go buy a different one so we just put a pillow behind him, but it is still very annoying.

I really like the stroller overall. But like other comments about the sunshade, it is useless. I also found that the cupholder doesn't stay on and the front wheels do have a mind of their own. I really like it though because it is smaller and lightweight.

Great stroller. Easy to use. Smooth ride for baby. Folds up easily. Would have given 5 stars but unable to use under basket when the seat is reclined for use with infant seat.

My daughter is one now and we've had the stroller since she was born - front wheels don't roll smoothly - they actually face opposite directions at times! The stroller is also now difficult to open and close. I thought chico would have been better quality. Highly disappointed. Has 2 plastic clips to hold infant carrier inside the stroller. My daughter has caught her arms on these many times. Also, sun shade is useless. I added the kiddopot. shade, but this is bulky and a pain to put on and off when the stroller is folded. I much rather my $20 umbrella stroller now.

For the most part, I am happy with this stroller. It has great steering, decent amount of storage and easy to set up and clean. The only thing I would change, as many other reviewers have mentioned, is the leg rest. It would be nice to have a range of positions.
