Chicco Liteway Plus
The Chicco Liteway Plus is an evolution of the popular, affordable, urban Chicco Liteway umbrella stroller. This version is compatible with a car seat and intended predominantly for the Western market. The padded seat can be flipped forward for you to you click on the Chicco Keyfit car seat above it. Thanks to the protective plastic cover on the back, the seat unit will not be damaged even if you have to click it on and off frequently.
The smaller-in-size front wheels are single, providing a smoother ride through the city. The backrest of the seat unit offers five positions, including an almost flat recline for newborns (including an adjustable leg rest) - even though you probably would prefer to use the car seat for your newborn in this case. The safety belts can be adapted accordingly, and you can use them even for small babies. Older models of the Liteway Plus can be recognized by the plastic clasps on the sides of the hood, which were later removed.

Parent reviews of the Chicco Liteway Plus
Your questions about the Chicco Liteway Plus
Can this stroller be carried on an airplane?
Hey, Tikki,
Well, yes and no. If you mean as cabin luggage, then no - this stroller is way too long for that. As checked-in luggage or, with some airlines, as (potentially free) baby's luggage that is given to the stewards when you're boarding and returned to you when you get off the plane, it can be traveled with on a plane, yes.
In any case, you have to also check the options with the airline of your choice.
