Chicco Echo Stroller, Stone | Birth to 22kg, Foldable, Lightweight, Lay-flat

Product Information

While suitable from birth and safe to do so, our tester, mum of two Liz, didn’t feel the seat reclined flat enough to give full support to her five-month-old baby. She felt it would be more suited to babies six months or older. What about the harness? The handles feature soft hand grips for extra comfort as this product is made with both baby and parent in mind – that’s why there is also an included carry handle to give parents a helping hand. Our four-year-old’s toes did occasionally pop out of the bottom, but she otherwise stayed dry. The cover folds up small when not in use and can be stored in one of the storage baskets. How easy is the Chicco Echo Twin to push?

We introduced new pushchair tests in 2015, 2018 and again in 2019. This model will not be directly comparable to those tested before October 2019 The Chicco Echo Twin can be used from newborn up to 15kg. The material is snug to the frame, ensuring no gaps for small fingers to get caught, and the seats nicely padded. The Chicco Echo Twin Stroller has two individual baskets that sit under each seat. Unfortunately, this makes them quite small – holding up to 2.3kg each – so aren’t adequate enough to fit bulky items. I was surprised to find a Chicco stroller even lower in price than the Echo, but the Capri is perfect for those of you on a budget! It’s even lighter at 11 pounds, making it easy for you to lift and transfer from place to place. The Chicco Bravo is made by the same company, but with a few extra features, definitely ends up at a much higher price. This may not be the stroller for you budget-savvy parents, although it’s perfect for easy carrying, and can transform into a frame carrier so you can move your baby without waking them.The Chicco Echo Twin Stroller comes with a rain cover that fits over both seats, keeping both children nice and dry. Launched in 1958, Italian brand, Chicco, has become popular around the world for offering affordable yet functional baby products, including educational toys, bouncers, cots and buggies. There are two reclining positions your baby will have, and a compact fold that will let you store and travel without too much fuss. There’s even front wheel suspension for a smooth ride, allowing you to use even this small style stroller on rougher terrains when you go out. Similarities

Its simple design means that the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller is unlikely to turn heads. It’s not as stylish as the likes of the iCandy Peach 6 or the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2, but that’s to be expected considering its price tag.Suitable from birth onwards, the Chicco Echo Stroller in Power Blue is perfect for your little one until 15kg. The large and spacious seat provides a number of comfortable positions that allow you to choose from 4 recline options, including a lay flat position to allow your little one to rest whilst out and about. The individual hoods, on the other hand, are fairly basic and offer no UV protection, only just covering the top of a child’s head in low winter sun. While you can remove the rear section of the hood to offer more air on hot days, this isn't a function that parents would get much use out of. We’d prefer a deeper, more effective, hood. Is there a rain cover? After a week of testing, covering around 10 miles, the wheels looked used, but the material and chassis were left in good condition. Is it good value for money? It does recline like the Echo though and has great safety features like rear brakes too along with extra features like a storage tray and cup holder. When it comes to your comfort, this might be just the stroller for you thanks to the one-hand fold and auto-positioning wheels. Similarities

When juice was spilled on the seat material during testing, it didn’t hold the liquid on the surface as well as some of the more premium prams we tested. The liquid wiped away without leaving a stain, but the seat ended up wet.With six sets of wheels, the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller has double that of the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double.

Being a popular worldwide brand, Chicco’s instruction manual comes in multiple languages. It includes good diagrams and explanations on how to assemble and use the pram, as well as basic care information. The Chicco Echo has been designed with you and your little one in mind; offering you a stylish Stroller suiting your every need. The Chicco Echo Twin Stroller boasts an easy-to-use five-point harness that can be clipped into place or undone in seconds. Despite not being able to push the pram through her front door, Liz liked the simplicity of its design and found it useful when taking her eldest to nursery and going for walks. What about the seats? The Chicco Echo Twin is a pushchair made for families on the go. There’s no messing around with adapters or seats – you simply open it up, strap your children in and off you go.The dark fabric is robust though and doesn’t stain easily and, while the seat covers aren’t removable, they can be wiped with a damp cloth and mild soap. During testing, mud cleaned off the frame without much effort and the wheels cleaned up well with warm water and detergent. What’s the Echo Twin like to look at? The handlebar is split and, though Chicco says it’s not designed to carry a changing bag, Liz hung her own off one side to test this out. Reassuringly, the buggy didn’t feel unbalanced or topple, even when her four-year-old jumped out of the seat unexpectedly.
