Chicco pushchairs, good or bad?

[Marne]

looking at buying the chicco velocta double pushchair as is on offer (£89 reduced from £159), has anybody got a chicco pushchair and how do they find them? Are they east to push etc..?

I had the Chicco Trecker, a single pushchair. Very sturdy and nothing went wrong with it but i did find it heavy to lift.

Oh and very easy to push.

Thankyou Katemum,
I have gone through with it (bought the pushchair), seems like a real bargin, should be here in 2 working days, cant wait to try it out with dd and a baby annabell (baby not due till march).
This is when people start to post with bad stories about chicco pushchairs!

5 years ago i regualrly used the chicco trecker buggy.

Can honestly say i HATED it and its my least favorite pushchair / pram / buggy ive EVER used. (and i really have used a LOT!)

My conclusion was that it tried hard to do everything but did nothing well!.... it was SOOO heavy to push even with a petite 10month old in, you could get almost no shopping in the basket, i found the handles despite being very adjustable, quite uncomfortable as i felt they didnt adjust to the 'right' place!

the ONLY thing i liked about it was the cosy toes!

I had a Chicco London, and I loved it (its under Dd1's bed atm, not use what to do with it) anyway, I had an maclearen buggy to begin with and it broke within 4 months, so that was returned and then I got another one (can't remember the brand) and that broke too, so I go the Chicco and it lasted me 2 years!! Dd2 is 4 now and hasn't use a buggy for months so I should sell it really.
