Chicco Liteway Stroller
Pros / Cons
Pros
- A sensible buy if you want an umbrella-style stroller from a well-known brand but still care about a more comfortable seat, deeper recline and more everyday usability than the lightest bare-bones options.
- The carry handle, compact fold with automatic storage latch, rear-wheel suspension, roomy basket and cup holder make it easier to live with than very cheap umbrella strollers that cut too much practicality.
Cons
- It is heavy for the category at roughly 17-18 pounds, which undermines part of the reason to buy an umbrella stroller if easy carrying matters a lot.
- Independent testing found it harder to transport and weaker on rougher surfaces than stronger travel rivals, so it makes less sense if you want the most portable or most agile compact stroller.

Chicco Liteway Stroller is a straightforward compact stroller for families who want a light, easy-to-fold option from a familiar brand. The aluminum frame, 17-pound weight, and 40-pound limit make it a sensible everyday secondary stroller or travel stroller rather than a full-featured main ride.
The case for it is simple: Liteway still makes sense when you want a more comfortable umbrella stroller rather than the cheapest possible stick-fold option. The main tradeoff is that its heavier carry and weaker rough-surface performance undercut the main reason many people shop this class in the first place. Before buying, make sure you actually want a comfort-leaning umbrella stroller, not the lightest or most travel-efficient option in the category.
