Chicco Echo Stroller Review – Real Mum Review

Here’s our Chicco Echo Stroller review – read on if you’re looking for the best umbrella stroller for your little one.

One of my favourite things to do is take Miss M out in the stroller. We chat along the way and get out of the house for some fresh air and exercise.

My mum also helps me out a few times a week with taking her out for the day or doing daycare drop offs so her having a lightweight umbrella stroller is an essential for her too.

I previously bought her the Chicco London Stroller which has done a brilliant job for us. I’ve also ready countless great Chicco stroller reviews. After pounding the pavements for quite a while (my mum walks her a LOT) it was approaching retirement and we were looking for a replacement. I know Chicco was a great brand as I’d read lots of good stroller reviews on their range. Chicco Echo reviews were really good too.

Chicco Echo Review

We were thrilled when Chicco sent us the Echo Chicco umbrella stroller and Miss M chose it in one her favourite colours – purple!  The range of colours for this fold up stroller are so vibrant – blue, red and green are options too.  Our previous stroller was black so having a purple Chicco stroller is a lovely change!

The stroller arrived super quickly and Mr M seemed to have it up and running in no time.  Despite being a carpenter, he has had more than one disagreement with flat pack items so this was a good sign!

Features

It’s very similar in style and size to the London stroller but the Chicco Echo Stroller seems more robust to me, which is what we were looking for.

The seat is padded and can be adjusted for a more comfortable fit depending on how old your child is.  In fact the pushchair reclines flat so is suitable as a lightweight stroller for newborn upwards.  I have used strollers from 4 months old with Miss M and had her in a pram carry cot before then.

The 5 point harness is easy for us to open and close. It’s also secure enough that Miss M can’t ‘escape’ – despite her efforts sometimes :)

Above the seat is a pull-out sun canopy and a rain cover is included in the kit too.

Why we love it!

I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s new but it seems easier to steer than the old stroller. Probably because we’d worn that one out!  Miss M is fairly heavy so it isn’t hugely easy to get her up curbs.  It would be easier to do so if the stroller base was heavier. Although that would defeat the object of this easy fold stroller being a lightweight one so I wouldn’t change it.

It is really light to carry and very simple to pack down and put up with a clip on the side to keep it together when down and a handle to carry it.

As Miss M’s Nanny and Grandad take her out in the car, it was essential that we had a stroller that folded down neatly, was easy to put up and down and didn’t take up too much room in the car and the Chicco Echo Stroller fits those requirements perfectly.  They also use the big basket underneath to store shopping, drinks etc so it’s really useful.

Miss M takes some encouragement to get into the stroller as she gets older – “I want to walk on my FEET, Mummy”. She’s thrilled with her new lovely, shiny, purple ‘wheels’ so thank you very much, Chicco!  I often still take her for a walk in it at naptime and it’s so easy to recline when she’s dropping off.
