Chicco Liteway vs. Echo?

mattandjessi08 · March 2013

I'm looking to add a small lightweight stroller to my registry. We're only registered at Target and I've narrowed it down to one of these options. Obviously price seems to be a difference, but does anyone have any recommendations on the differences between the Chicco Liteway or the Chicco Echo? I honestly can't tell the difference between the two (even after using the "compare" option)

I don't need it to work with a carseat as we already have a travel system, but would prefer to use it right away as an infant stroller (so full recline is important). Otherwise any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I tried both out in the store. The liteway is much lighter than the Echo. Honestly, I like the way the Liteway handled over the Echo.

I have no experience with the Liteway, but I can tell you I LOVE my Echo.

Do you use the Echo with a newborn? I'm not clear on if it's safe or only for +6 mos. Any concerns with the basket size, weight, maneuverability, etc?

Echo is a Target exclusive Chicco stroller, but I've seen the Liteway on sale for similar price and it's a much more elegant and versatile stroller. It has more premium features and looks more upscale, while the Echo looks more like the inexpensive First Years Jet/Ignite. The Echo has 4 recline positions but does not appear to recline fully. ***

***ETA: I stand corrected, Target site says that the Echo has a full recline, so it would be ok to use with a newborn. It also says Echo is 17 lbs. ***

The Chicco doesn't list the weight for the Echo, but the Liteway is listed at 17-20 lbs for the various models so it's not an ultralight stroller by any means.
