Chicco Liteway Stroller - Orion

Comments about Chicco Liteway Stroller - Orion:

I registered for this stroller because I went to the store and tried it out. It was tall enough which for all those tall moms out there who can't use umbrella strollers with out looking like the hunch back know how important that is. I also like that it has a basket underneath. It's easy to fold and takes up half as much space as my travel system stroller does in my trunk. Since I drive a focus that's very important. It rides nice and my son seems comfy in it. I've used it since he was an infant.

Ibought this stroller for my 19mo. The crotch strap is WAY TOO small for her and she is only 21 lbs. The product description says it will hold up to 40 lbs. I would like to see them strap a normal 40 child into this stroller. Big waste of money. In addition to this, the seat is adjustable. It is very hard to get it to stay down for what would be a normal toddler position. Each leg adjusts independently and they pop back up once the child is strapped into the seat. I would not recommend this to anyone who plans to use it on a baby other than a small infant (and they would likely be in their infant carseat attachment anyway. I can't believe the rates were so good on this product!

We use this stroller all the time, but we bought it for air travel. I have taken this stroller over 100 times in the past two years since we got it and it has held up very well through two children. My son currently uses it (he is 18lb 10oz and quite Chunkie for a 6 month old) I have had no issues with the crotch stap being too tight, although I can see how that might be too tight if my two year old wanted to sit in it. I recommend this stroller to all my friends because it is easy to fold with one hand, pick up, put on X-ray machine and then take off and reopen once through security. That, plus it's durability, makes it ideal for travel. It reclines almost flat and my kids have both slept fine in it, The basket underneath fits my diaper bag easily and the cup holder is nice too. We bought the travel bag to put it in once it was gate checked, but it was flimsy and hard to put on, but we haven't had any problems with damage anyway!

I bought this stroller to use with my three month old on a trip to Disney World. It is very easy to maneuver and comfortable for my little one. I am very happy with my purchase and am giving it 4 stars only because it is slightly heavier than other umbrella strollers.

We bought this stroller for our Disneyland trips, and let me tell you it is by far the best investement! It's so easy to maneuver, I love the style, and how comfortable my daughter looks.

So, I ordered this online because of the great reviews but I am going to return it. While I think the recline feature is great, most lightweight strollers have a sort of "hammock" effect on your child where it seems like they are able to relax. This WAS NOT like that. When he is in it, he is sitting totally upright, straight back, etc. It looks so uncomfortable. Also, the foot rest is weird. If you adjust it and then just accidentally touch it, it goes back up. There is no locking to it once it is adjusted and the two sides are separate so one side can go up and the other stays as is. I didn't order this color but I assume they all work the same. Strange!!!!!

ive use this stroller on a daily basis for two years now! i love how light and easy it is to open and close. great for infants, so you don't have to carry around a big bulky carseat!

I wish I would have seen all of the comments regarding the strap that goes between the legs, prior to buying this stroller. The stroller is great in that it is very light weight and folds up nicely. However, the stroller is now useless to me as I can see how tight and uncomfortable it looks for my 20 month old to be strapped in. I thought that middle strap was adjustable - you would think it would be. I'm so disappointed that it's not as I didn't get much use out of this stroller. I had a travel system stroller which was too bulky to carry around, I guess I will have to go back to that one now.

This is the best umbrella-type stroller I've found. I researched dozens of strollers before purchasing the liteway and I love it. It's the only one I found that fully reclines - great for diaper changes and naps, has a basket underneath (which also detaches for use as string backpack thing) and folds easily with one hand. The height of the handle is perfect (my husband is 6'), takes up minimal space in the trunk. I got rid of the full size stroller. My only complaints are that the awning could be a little larger for these very hot AZ summers (never seems to cover his leg, although there is a "sac" that pulls out from under the seat that can cover the baby's legs) and there's no snack tray. I added a universal bag that holds my keys and cell phone when needed.

This stroller looks good and the materials are of good quality but the design is absolutely HORRIBLE. It is so bad that after using the stroller for a few months we hated it so much we decided to get rid of it and buy a MacLaren.

First, the leg rest is adjustable, which is good, but you can't secure it in place; it adjusts with just a touch, which makes it very difficult at times when you are trying to get your kid in the stroller. If your child's leg bumps it while you are trying to get her in the stoller, the leg rest lifts up and gets in the way so you have to push it back down and try again. And the ironc thing is that while it lifts up with a simple touch, to push it down, you have to push a button on the side to release the leg rest while you press it down. If your child is being difficult and squirming, the problem is even worse because with every kick of the child's legs, the leg rest popps up. To make it even more frustrating, the upolstry on the leg rest is not secured or even tightly fitted to the frame so it slides off CONSTANTLY, especially when your kid is wiggling around as you are trying to get her in the stroller. When it popps off, the plastic arm of the leg rest frame is exposed and can scratch your kid's legs, not bad but it still isn't something you want to have happen. Also, when the fabric comes loose, the support on the leg rest is gone so if you've managed to overcome all the obstacles to get your kid in the stroller, you have to lift her legs up and pull the fabric up and around the frame. You won't be abel to buckle her in before you do this so hopefully you can get it done before she wiggles out. The two issues combined are absolutely maddening and can make getting your kid in the stroller a long and frustrating process.

The third problem is the canopy. The clip that secures it to the stroller popps off very easily and it slides around so the canopy is never very secure. It is annoying.

Fourth, the strap that goes between your child's legs into which the shoulder and side straps clip is not adjustable. No matter how loose you make the shoulder straps, it doesn't make more room in the crotch area where the bottom strap is. So the bottom strap gets tight in the crotch area as your child gets bigger. By the time my daughter was 23 pounds the crotch strap was so tight it was uncomfortable for her to sit in the stroller.

So, with all this, I strongly recommend against this stroller.
