Chicco Caddy Stroller - what do you think?

Hi, does anyone have a Chicco Caddy Stroller, and if so, what do you think of it? I currentlt have an M&P MPX chassis which is great but a nightmare to fit in the boot of my Fiesta. Tesco have the Caddy for £49 and it looks pretty good - includes carry bag, sunshade and raincover. I'd appreciate some opinions before I buy.
thanks v much

MBB I bought one in the summer as I had enough of my Aria pushchair (the worst buy of my abby's life). I really like it though I would not recommend it for a young baby. It only has 2 seat positions.
One annoying thing about it is the sunshade that is fixed to the chassis and to fold down the puschair you have to fold it back and the fabric tends to slip off the frame (still talking about the sunshade).
As soon as the summmer was over I've taken off the sunshade and now it's even lighter, brilliant to go on public transport. (I take it on tube and trains).

I think it's still quite long though, it fits well in my car, but I wouldn't be sure about a Fiesta. Hope this helps.

thanks Chiara71 - have just bought it, having pushed the display model round Tesco for a bit! Nearly went and spent 3 times as much on a Maclaren Techno, but sanity prevailed and I tried to remember what I actually need - a superlight, easily collapsable stoller with a good raincover - and the Caddy seems to fit the bill. I'll continue to use the more sturdy M&P pushchair for everyday use, but the stroller is for shopping days in town and the like. thanks again.

MBB, now you've got it, what's it like. I have two pushchairs, an enormous Jane one that I can't push with one hand, and a monbebe minima that is too short for me & Dh - 5'8" and 6'4" - and wondered if the Caddy was better. I never intended to turn into the Imelda Marcos of pushchairs but...

I used to have a tiny Graco that was v practical but one day I was struggling to put ds in the car in the rain in a narrow street wth busy traffic, and just drove off leaving the Graco in the street. I never saw it again...
