Chicco Oh La La Lightweight Stroller, Black

Product Information

This pushchair is so light – the perfect travel companion. It’s got a detachable bumper bar to make popping your child in and out easier, and the seat has an adjustable leg rest and good recline for comfy snoozing. It’s easy to fold – doing it with one hand requires some practice, though – and it’s very compact when folded. What they said: In my opinion, there are a lot of issues with this pushchair. The main improvements that I would suggest would to improve the quality and design of the fabrics and the seating positions. The most upright position needs to be more upright, as my baby was constantly trying to sit up and as said before, I had to loosen the straps and slip them off his shoulders so he was able to. The other improvement would be to introduce higher or adjustable handles for taller parents. Tested by mum Ashleen Cawley for the Mother & Baby awards 2018: The stroller folds up really simply and is easy to do with a wriggling toddler in the other arm, perfect for getting on the bus, particularly when it is busy. Any Mum who gets the bus will know the pain of waiting for a bus only for it to arrive and have no more room for prams, but this one fold up small enough that I haven’t had that problem since using it. It is also so lightweight that it is easy to steer with one hand, something that is near to impossible with a heavier pram. This product is good value for money and I would suggest it to mums who have a budget, as it is a good price. It is very easily folded and can be stored in an upright position without falling, perfect for storage in a small hallway. It also folds down nicely to go into a boot.

This is very easy to open and fold, but I didn’t manage to do it with one hand. Because it’s so light, it’s ideal if you’re lifting it in and out of the car a lot, and it fits in the boot really easily. The shopping basket is a good size, but it doesn’t take much in terms of weight – a box of laundry powder made it give a squeak from the added strain! Tested by mum Kate and Albert, 18 months: I wouldn't choose this product again for the reasons stated above. I personally didn't like the height of the push chair, being 6 ft the handles were positioned too low – it made me feel conscious and like I was pushing a dolls pushchair! I didn't like the positions of the seat; the most upright position was still quite reclined compared to other pushchairs. I didn't like the style of the seating – it looked quite cheap and in my opinion quite dated. I didn't like the fact it didn't feel very stable and like it could collapse any point. The basket at the bottom was quite small, and obviously the handles wouldn't take a changing bag so there wasn't much room to put my baby’s bits. I have stairs leading up to my front door so getting in and out with this pushchair is a life saviour. Previously I was leaving my other heavier pushchair in the car and collapsing it and putting it together each time which was painful and tiring. It would prevent me from popping out of the house. Now I can carry the pushchair with the baby in it up and down the stairs, in fact many stairs. I am giving it 4 stars for that. The Chicco Oh La also features a durable and easy to clean dual suspension frame that offers firm cushioning for your baby’s ride. Chicco has also designed the Chicco Oh La with a front and rear bumper that protects against nasty bumps and scrapes that may occur along the path of your walk. Chicco has designed the Chicco Oh La with a front canopy that can be fully opened during the hours of sunshine when the sun is shining bright. This allows you and your little one to enjoy the outdoors without having to worry about the elements. Only thing it doesn’t have is a view window to see baby, and the seat doesn’t go 100% upright. My little one holds the handle bars though and is happy enough.

At a glance:

This stroller is very light, great for travel, takes up very little space, collapses down very small. shopping basket rather compact so not suitable for heavy shopping (dunno if that's really a con though) Overall we’re really happy. It’ll be flying soon so we’ll see how it fairs through airway handling... indeed lightweight, yet easy to push around (and I do a lot of walking on not too greatly maintained pavements). Ohlala, surprisingly lightweight, incredibily sturdy ... so light weight that you can lift even with one finger! Attractive and modern design, Chicco OhLaLa has been designed to ensure maximum comfort to both parents and the child. Easy to lift, easy to drive and easy to move, OhLaLa is the perfect for any mum." Tested by mum Rachel Foye for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:

I couldn't recommend this product due to the above reasons. Although I haven't experienced any other similar lightweight pushchairs, I felt this one was definitely not worth it’s price tag and in general, I was very disappointed with the pushchair. My son was very agitated in it because he couldn't sit upright, but also feel the seating was not the comfiest for him. The positive was that it was very compact and I was able to get two pushchairs in my car boot. It would be OK for using if going on holiday and occasional use, but wouldn't recommend this for everyday use. You can keep your little one safe and comfortable while taking a stroll in the park. This stroller is made from extremely durable materials that will last a long time and that will hold up to even the roughest of conditions. The stroller is somewhat flexible when turning, but this has been made to be light and to nip around for travel. It’s not a bulky basic stroller made of overweight materials. We’ve had ours a month now and it’s been fine. It has a great hood that unzips and comes almost down to the handle bar- again great for holiday and sun protection.I’m not sure I would recommend this pushchair to other mums. Whilst the foldability was very good, and it wasn't heavy like other push chairs I have owned, I felt the design was a little dull and boring. The colours didn't catch your eye and I feel the design on a whole lets the pushchair down, as it makes it look cheap. That said, my baby appeared to be comfortable when testing the pushchair on our walk. I would make the size of the hood larger so that it protects my toddler from the glare of the sun, or for sleeping. I would also make the upright position of the seat more upright so that my toddler isn't slouching in the stroller – this is just personal preference and everything else is great about this stroller. Tested by mum Emma-Louise Blankley for the Mother & Baby awards 2018: I would choose this pushchair to win an award as a lightweight stroller, as it is by far the lightest I have experienced and it is so easy to use. That said, I didn't like the fact that my toddler didn't seem to be sat up well in the stroller – she seemed to be rather reclined even though the chair was in the upright position. I would prefer the hood to be bigger also.
