Reviews of Chicco Keyfit Caddy Stroller Frame

Customer Ratings:

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 one hand.

With practice, the stroller frame does open and close with one hand by pulling up on the lever by the cup holders.

The frame folds up tightly and locks into place so you can put it in the truck of the car with one hand. The handle bar also folds down for easy storage.

The stroller, when folded, stands on the wheels so you can store it against a wall without worrying about it sliding down or falling over.

All in all we're glad we spent the money instead of trying to make the Baby Trend stroller work with the Chicco car seat. The transition from our City Mini to the car seat stroller isn't as painful anymore!

Best Deals for Chicco Keyfit Caddy Stroller Frame

I bought a BOB with the car-seat attachment hoping I would only need one stroller that did it all birth through late toddler. The BOB is a huge, urban assault type stroller. An "SUV Escalade" of strollers if you will.

I should have bought this right away. This is light, compact, fits in the back of any small car and also would fit into a large luggage if traveling. You could get this on and off a city bus. It will save your back and neck hauling your small child around in their car seat into restaurants, malls, etc.

This is NOT for long urban walks if your city is like mine uneven pavement, patches of no pavement at all and no curb-cuts, various debris and pot-holes. I still need the BOB for long walks & off-road trails. So, I now have 2 strollers. Probably will end up with an umbrella stroller for travel later as well.

Honest reviews on Chicco Keyfit Caddy Stroller Frame

I'm SO glad that I got this caddy stroller to use as the primary stroller for my son for the first 3-4mo of his life. Originally (before I knew any better!) I was thinking of buying a "travel system" including carseat and stroller .. in fact I was looking at the Chicco system, since I knew I wanted a Chicco carseat. THE CADDY IS SO MUCH BETTER! For the following reasons:

The Chicco full-size stroller is only so-so .. definitely not the highest rated in its class, and not one I would ever consider purchasing as my primary stroller on a standalone basis. Why then consider buying a so-called "travel system," when the carseat will actually work with lots of other stroller bases?

The Chicco caddy is SUPER convenient and lightweight very easy to fold up and store in the car, then open up and pop baby in and out when running around town doing errands.

Handling is very good and it's actually pretty versatile, more versatile than you might think given how lightweight/portable it is. It's definitely not an all-terrain stroller (the wheels aren't large or robust enough), but we took it on some walks on mostly flat dirt trails (nothing too bumpy/crazy), and it held up just fine.

You may also be considering the Snap n Go generic caddy stroller, especially because it's so much cheaper than the Chicco. I struggled with the same thing, and am SO glad that in the end I bought the Chicco caddy made specifically for Chicco carseats. The Chicco carseat audibly snaps into the Chicco caddy and is much more securely attached than it would be on the Snap n Go (where there is no "click," and you are supposed to manually close a strap over the carseat every time you attach it). Otherwise, I found the two stroller caddies to be pretty similar, in terms of ride/handling, quality/materials, etc. But the greater security/safety & convenience (not having to use the strap) of the Chicco caddy were good enough reasons for me to spring for it.

It's expensive, and you may only use this item for a few months, but for us it was worth it. I suspect that the resale value on these will actually be pretty good as well (given that it's a pretty new item and there aren't many used ones on Craigslist etc. yet), so in the end you may even be able to recoup much of what you paid!

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 covered in several inches of snow but I never expected it to handle that. Even though it has seen quite a bit of use, it is basically as good as new. We are about to transition to a regular stroller and will really miss this one.
