Chicco Cortina
The Chicco Cortina is a simple, lightweight stroller with several practical functions and a unique, quick one-hand fold using the top handle and your foot. Once folded, the stroller is flat but relatively long, so it is useful to have a larger car boot for this one.
The softly padded, front-facing seat can be reclined in five positions, including a lie-flat suitable even for babies. You can put your newborn into the Chicco car seat, as well. It clicks directly onto the seat without any adapters needed. This stroller was also available in the Cortina CX, or the Cortina Keyfit set, depending on the car seat included.
