Compatibility with Graco Click Connect infant car seats allows you to turn the stroller into a true travel system, which makes getting your child out the car into the stroller far more convenient than with standard joggers.

In terms of seating, this stroller is pretty impressive. The multi-position recline provides 3 seating positions which are sitting up, partial recline and a full recline. The seat is padded for comfort and accommodates children with a max weight of 50-lbs. On the safety front, the seat has a convertible 3-5 pt harness so you have the flexibility of having either a 3-pt or 5-pt harness.

On the stroller seat you’ll find a handle which says “Pull to fold”. By tugging this, the stroller can be folded almost instantly for convenient folding. Additionally, its self-standing design means you don’t need to lean it up against anything once folded. Opening the stroller back up is equally as easy by simply unlatching the plastic clip located at the side of the seat and lifting up the handlebar.

Summary

Considering this is Graco’s first attempt at a jogger stroller, they’ve done a stellar job while still keeping the price relatively low. Its trendy styling, sturdy design, brilliant manoeuvrability and great amenities are the feature which impressed us most. Busy parents will also very much appreciate its ease of setup thanks to its pull and fold design.

Pros:

The Chicco Liteway Plus Stroller features a 2-in-1 design which enables you to quickly convert it from an infant car seat to a stroller with an optional KeyFit infant car seat. The forward folding seat makes it easy to attach the car seat to the stroller. When locked in place it makes an audible click so you know that the seat is fully secured.

With a 40-pound max weight limit whilst in toddler mode, this stroller can accommodate most toddlers. The 3-positional adjustable harness allows you to ensure your child is safely secure when seated as they grow.

The manoeuvrability of this stroller is impressive due to its lightweight design. While the rear wheel suspension ensures that the ride is smooth for your little one.

One consumer found the buckle on the harness a little too finicky to adjust.

Guarantee: 1-year warranty.

Summary

Parents looking for a stylish, lightweight stroller which eliminates the need for a bulky travel system will find the Chicco Liteway Plus Stroller to be a great cost effective alternative. We love the fact that this is both a toddler stroller and a stroller frame so you don’t need to buy a frame and stroller separately.

Baby Stroller Reviews: Stroller Terminology Guide

Baby Stroller Reviews provides a Baby Stroller Buying Guide, but we don’t want to stop there. We also would like to provide a rudimentary set of terms for the “fathers to be” in understanding the segmented  world of baby strollers. Over the course of the next several weeks we will continue to add to these terms.

Jogging Strollers

There are true Jogging Strollers available, which are typically 3 wheeled strollers with fixed front wheels and extended handles for both grip and leg room.

There are also many other 3 Wheeled Strollers which have a similar look, and which are even called Jogging Strollers by the manufacturers, but whose fine print stipulates that they are not actually designed for jogging.

So if your after a true jogging stroller, ensure they have all the attributes a Jogging Stroller should have. For example: A good Jogging stroller will likely have 16 or 20 inch wheels, a fixed front wheel, or a pivoting wheel which can be locked out for exercise. Hand brakes may also be incorporated into the handle to assist on hilly terrain.

Baby Stroller Reviews suggests not only reading the manufacturers fine print, but maybe more importantly reading the consumer reviews to determine faults which might undermine the exercise effort.
