Thursday, June 16, 2011 Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller - Romantic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received this stroller and, with only a few weeks left until I give birth, I was able to assemble it myself. If you have the regular chicco stroller than you will be familiar with the assembly and how to operate it. It has all the fantastic features of the single stroller like a parent tray, easy folding, and an adjustable handle. I was really happy that I found a double stroller that would fit my key fit car seat. However, there are some things that I don't like. First, the front seat, which is where my 22 month will ride, does not recline when the car seat is in. Also, he started playing with his canopy as soon as we sat him in his seat for a "test drive". Speaking of the canopy, it's very small to the point where it may as well not exist. In fact, we probably won't use it since you have to remove it in order to fold up the stroller. In the demo video it says to fold it down but, you can't do that if the cup holders are attached. The second biggest problem we encountered is that it does not fit in the trunk of our VW Jetta. Thankfully, we are looking at buying a bigger car to accomodate our growing family otherwise we would have to return it. Overall, it's not as heavy or as big as the other double strollers that we were looking at and it seems to a great tandem stroller that will meet our needs with a 22 month old and a newborn. I really like the chicco brand and am very happy that they created this double stroller.
