Chicco Echo Stroller Review

Chicco Echo

The first time I saw Chicco Echo stroller.My first impression was what a cool modern looking stroller! I absolutely loved the bright fresh color of the seat and the frame. I think that the combination of the black and color frame together with the black handle bars give it a very sleek and stylish look. Have you noticed that more and more companies have been doing color frames lately? I think it’s a new hot thing.
The Chicco Echo is a lightweight stroller that is very basic, but is very affordable. It retails for only $99.99 which makes it perfect for traveling. Let’s say you are going to visit your relatives in another state and you want something lightweight and compact that you can take with you on the plane and later on to the restaurant, shopping or park, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money, Chicco Echo would be a good choice. Also, if it gets damaged at the airport you are not going to be too upset because you only spend $99.99

Features

-Small canopy. The canopy is on the smaller side and there is no peekaboo window.

-Roomy seat. The seat is pretty roomy with plenty of headroom for an older child. It is 12.5″ wide with 18″ seat back and a measurement of 26″ from the bottom of the seat to the top of the canopy. It is suitable for kids from 6 months and up to 40 lbs. Because many umbrella stroller don’t have a recline at all, I was happy to see a deep recline. It’s deep enough for a nap or a diaper change.

-5 point harness. There is an adjustable padded 5 point harness with a tricky buckle so your child will not be able to escape.

-Adjustable leg rest. There is an adjustable leg rest that goes up or down. There is also a leg rest attached to the frame for an older child.

-Easy fold. It folds like most umbrella strollers into a neat compact package. It has an automatic lock.

Cons

-Weight. I know it weighs only 17 lbs, but for the features you are getting, I think it could be a little lighter.

-Small canopy. The canopy is small, does not have a peekaboo window and does not have a “follow-the-sun” option. A simple addition of a pop-out sunvisor could be an easy fix.

-Small plastic wheels. By far the biggest minus of this stroller! They are small and plastic which makes it very hard to maneuver on uneven surface or even on flat surface if you have an older child in the seat.
