Review on πŸƒ Chicco Activ3 Air Jogging Stroller: Q Collection for Active Parents by Gary Haymon

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I was not impressed with the overall quality

I ordered this stroller along with a Bob Rambler to compare. I chose a bob. Right out of the box I didn't like how cheap the stuff was. Chicco's overarching theme seems to be convenience. It's great but lacks quality. There are lots of velcro straps to hold the sun visor and such. There is quite a lot of plastic in this stroller too. It just seemed cheap compared to a Bob Rambler for the same price. Bob's Rambler is currently cheaper than Activ3. The Bob Rambler has a lot more leg room than this stroller. The Activ3 has a small area where the child can put their feet. The parent console was a joke, but at least Chicco had one. The main reason for returning this stroller was that it didn't maneuver like a bean. There was a lot of resistance when turning. I can steer Bob with one hand, but not Chicco. I also didn't like how the Chicco front wheel looked. There is a huge piece of plastic that sticks out and looks weird. Overall, the maneuverability and the materials used for this stroller are not up to date. The Bob Rambler stroller is now selling cheaper and much better. I've pushed both around my neighborhood and the chicko was a chore to push and the bob was awesome. I will say that Chicco has easier access to the basket, but it turned out to be smaller than I expected. If you're not put off by cheap materials, Velcro everywhere, lots of cheap plastic, and poor steering, you might like this stroller. I will say that the Chicco is easier to fold standing up than the Bob, but folding is very unwieldy unless you drop the front wheel. My 16 month old liked the stroller, I will give Chicco. But she also liked Bob the Rover. I was not at all impressed with the overall quality of this stroller. The jogging stroller wobbles (or at least mine does in everyday life) and I didn't feel this Chicco's materials would hold up like a bob-walker. I hate cheap fabric, velcro and plastic everywhere.
