Accessories
Lightweight strollers don't normally have many extras. They are usually equipped with a basket and canopy, and sometimes cup holders.
The Chicco C6 is equipped with a small basket underneath the seat for storing small items.
Adult Comfort
The level of comfort this stroller provides for the adults who push and use it. Some strollers are not comfortable for adults over a certain height, others make your feet kick the back wheels, and this all has to be considered.
The Chicco C6 is stable and is not likely to tip over when you hang bags on the handles. It also steers, manoeuvres and handles well.
Child age and weight
Strollers have child weight limit which usually correlates to age and size.
Chicco recommends this stroller for children of ages 6 to 36 months and who weigh up to 37 lbs (16.5kg).
Low Cost
How expensive is this stroller?
The Chicco C6 is quite cheap.
Easy Folding and Carrying
Lightweight 'umbrella' strollers are meant for travel. How easy is it really to fold and unfold the stroller?
The Chicco C6 is very easy to handle, lightweight and collapses very easily to a small size, and takes up a very small space when collapsed.
Security and Comfort
Security and comfort are very important for your child, how secure is the stroller for children and how comfortable is the seat?
The Chicco C6 is very comfortable for children, and they usually have no problem sleeping in it.
Lightweight
A stroller's weight is usually important for when you need to push it up or down hill, and when you need to load it to your car or unload it. On the other hand, lower weight strollers, if they are not made from hi-tec materials, are usually more fragile and prone to break down sooner than others.
The Chicco C6 weighs 11 pounds (5kg).

umbrella stroller

I needed a portable, lightweight stroller for the visiting grand-baby and this seemed perfect. It is easy to use, lightweight and seems durable. The only thing I do not like about it is how the canopy fits on and that fact that the canopy is pretty much useless for shading the baby from much sun. It just isn't big enough and doesn't smooth out enough, but it is an improvement over the dinosaur when my children were little. These things have come a long way.

Love the stroller, wish weight limit were higher

This stroller is lightweight as it promises and easy to use. We were going to purchase another one for our 3 year old, since we thought this would make bringing 2 strollers a breeze and they could be linked if needed. However, the weight only goes to 40 (or less I think) and this fact was hard to find anywhere but on the manual. We like that the handle height is higher than most of the cheaper umbrella strollers and we don't have a hard time with it (5'6" and 5'9"). Since we have one child that likes to walk most of the time, it's nice that this one can be folded up and carried for those moments when he wants to be a big boy.

Lives up to the promises

I was looking for a lightweight umbrella stroller to use when traveling. I selected this stroller because it had taller handles than most others and my husband and I are on the taller side (6'4" and 5'7" respectively). This is nice, but the wheels are pretty close together and the handles don't tilt back far enough to provide a lot of separation between your feet and the wheels, so if you're not conscious of how your walking, your feet will continuously hit the wheels. Kind of annoying, but for the price, worth getting used to.
The basket underneath is a decent size...fits my purse and sweater or other smaller items. I purchased a separate mesh bag with cup holders and zippered pocket to attach to the handles and this provides plenty of extra space and folds with the stroller as well. Also should mention that it comes with a carrying case which is nice since the airport travel can make the stroller pretty dirty...mine is still nice and clean.
If you just have one kiddo and need something lightweight and versatile, than this is a good purchase for you. My son is now three and we are expecting our second child in December. If I had it to do over (since we knew we were going to try for a second child), I would have purchased the Joovy ultralight sit-n-stand instead of this one. Just my two cents.
Hope this helps.

Remember, it is just an umbrella stroller!

Okay, we all like to nitpick our strollers, so here's what I dislike about this one:
1. The release mechanism to fold it is hard to use when you are wearing flip flops. I live in a hot state and wear flip flops most days.
2. The basket underneath is trivial. I can throw a water bottle and my wallet down there, but that's about it. Typically I hang my diaper bag on the handles.
3. The clip that holds it together when folded takes too much pressure to engage, so I just don't bother. I really couldn't care less about this since I can wrap my hand around it so that it stays put, which is what I do!
4. Yes, the wheels rub on the canopy when folded. My canopy is black so this doesn't show very much. I have found that it wipes right off. I've only had to clean it twice in the year I've been using it. But then again, I'm not off-roading with this thing. I have a jogger for that.
5. Yes, the harness clip is hard to engage, but I prefer this to one that is too easy for my kid to undo. So I find this to be a perk.
Now let's get real about some of the "issues" that people have here:
1. This is an umbrella stroller. Repeat: umbrella stroller. This is not the stroller you use to go out walking. This is not the stroller you use for a hard-core shopping day. This is the stroller you keep in your car so that you're never without one. This is the stroller you use for quick trips in and out of a store because you don't want to use your bigger, nice stroller. This is the stroller you grab because it sets up quickly. This is not a workhorse stroller. To compare it with a travel system stroller or an all-terrain stroller is unfit. It's comparing your compact care to a large sedan or SUV.
2. This stroller is light on features. Again, because it is just an umbrella stroller. Of course it doesn't have trays or fancy breaks or fancy handles or fancy reclining systems.
3. What makes this better than the el-cheapo $25 strollers you see everywhere is that it does have some features, and that is what you are paying for. The handle grips are wider and more comfortable. It has a basket, though small. It has a canopy. It reclines, though just a tad. It has a 5-point reclining system. The seat is wider. It is sturdy. My beef with the generic store umbrella strollers is that they look as if they might crumble if my fat cat jumped into them.
4. If you think that these features are not worth the extra $30-$50 in price, then go get the stripped down version. Or spend the extra money for that all-terrain you've had your eye one ;)
Long story short: If you want a fancier umbrella stroller, this is the one for you. If you want something other than an umbrella stroller, look elsewhere.

Chicco Capri Stroller

Great Stroller. 1/2 the price of the Maclaren but all the features. Only drawback would be if your child is tall, his/her head may reach the top of the back of the stroller quickly . My little girl is small for 2 years so this stroller is a perfect fit for her and should last us a while. Used on our first trip to Philadelphia with her - on the train, the subway, and the bus - and was perfect.
