Chicco Keyfit Caddy Stroller Frame

I already have a chicco stroller to fit the carrier but it's huge. It barely fits in my trunk and doesn't fit well in tight store aisles. It's a very good stroller just not practical for everyday. With my first I ended up mostly hauling around the carrier without the help of the stroller. So now I have my second and I just don't want to do that again. I tried the caddy at buy buy baby and was won over. It's extremely light, easy to push, easy to fold, and fits the carrier perfectly (as it should because they're made for each other). Now that I've used it a few times I like it even more. The basket is great. You can access the stuff from the front or the back without moving the carrier.

Looking back, I wish I skipped the full travel system and got the carrier, the caddy, and waited until the baby was older before investing in a stroller.

We replaced a Baby Trend car seat with the Chicco Keyfit 30 and wanted a stroller caddy to use with it. Our daughter is growing rapidly and it isn't practical to carry her around in the car seat. I was able to put it together easily with one exception. The directions are easy to follow with one step per page and all the pieces fit together well except the arm bar (the piece that sticks out and holds the car seat) - my husband had to come help me push down with full body weight to get it to click together. Fortunately it worked and we didn't break the plastic in the process.
Pros include:
- Large and easy to access basket
- Adjustable handle (although it adjusts from a hinge and swings up and down instead of sliding down. This makes for a slightly awkward pushing angle when in the shortest position).
- Smooth ride - it rolls really well and doesn't have the same clunky ride as the Baby Trend Snap and Go stroller caddy we used before.
- Easy to push with... Read more

We have been using the Keyfit Caddy for about 3 weeks and love it! We had been strongly considering buying the Baby Trend Snap N' Go or the Graco Snugrider stroller because they were less expensive but decided to get this one because it was made specifically to fit our Keyfit car seat. I like hearing the "click" when I place the car seat in the frame; it feels very secure. When we tried the Snap N' Go and the Graco Snugrider at a baby store, they both felt OK (the seat rested fairly well in the frame) but nothing like the Keyfit Caddy (the seat actually snaps in place). The ride is smooth and it is easy to fold up and down. I am very glad we spent the extra money.

UPDATE: We have been using this stroller for about eight months now and love it just as much now as we did when we first got it. We used it in stores (a few times a week) and on horribly uneven sidewalks (several times a week) and it does extremely well on both. The only place it doesn't do well is on pavement... Read more
