Chicco Trevi Stroller – According to Lydia
By Lydia Powers
What is the ultimate budget-friendly yet user-friendly stroller on the market today? Chicco has tried to answer exactly that question with the introduction of the Chicco Trevi stroller. Although it claims to be a strong contender in the lightweight class, the Trevi stroller has withstood mixed opinions in the area of Chicco stroller reviews.
One of the main features of which this stroller boasts is its lightweight. Unfortunately, some stroller reviews from Buzzillions.com claimed that the Trevi was heavy. These mixed opinions could be a result of the Trevi’s one-hand fold, which might have caused users to compare the Trevi’s 19-pound weight to umbrella strollers. Although the Trevi cannot compete with the umbrellas in the area of light weight, it can certainly stand up to its competitors of its own class.
As stated previously, this stroller comes equipped with an easy one-hand fold feature. Although one-hand folds might be common among umbrella strollers, it is not a usual feature on mid-sized strollers. Unfortunately, after folding, most users found that the Trevi was quite bulky. This could be a problem if you were planning on storing other items in your trunk along with your stroller.
Although the Trevi stroller might be bulky when folded, Chicco appears to have tried to save some space with their storage basket. One of the most disliked features of the Trevi, the storage basket size was found insufficient by a large number of users.
Finally, users had contradicting opinions on the Trevi’s maneuverability. Whether this is a product-specific or user-preference issue is debatable, so you might want to try out a Trevi at a local retailer before purchase.

This stroller is horrible, it doesn’t turn smoothly at all. After a morning of pushing the stroller around the mall, it threw my back out from fighting it to turn. I finally tired of forcing it to turn, and now roll it on its back wheels only. I’m currently waiting on a new set of front wheels from chicco, I don’t think the new wheels will solve the problem.
Also this is not a light weight stroller, I am 5’10″ and 190 lbs and it takes me a fair amount of effort to load and unload this beast. Steer clear of this stroller.
