Chicco Mini Bravo Sport
The Chicco Mini Bravo Sport is a variation of the Mini Bravo Plus - and a higher version of the conventional and affordable Chicco Mini Bravo stroller. Compared to the Mini Bravo Plus, the Sport version is more lightweight, features a handlebar covered in foam, a parent tray without a zip-close pocket, and looks more dynamic. A third, zip-open mesh panel can be used if you need to extend the hood. The Chicco KeyFit and the Fit2 car seat can be clicked onto the bumper bar, enabling you to use the stroller as a travel system from birth.
The convincing advantages also include its low weight, the massive shopping basket, and the compact, one-hand fold. Once folded, the stroller can stand by itself. Using a lever system at the back, the seat can be reclined into three positions, including a quite deep recline (even though not a complete lie-flat) - therefore, unless paired with a car seat, the Mini Bravo Sport is more suitable for an older child.

Parent reviews of the Chicco Mini Bravo Sport
Your questions about the Chicco Mini Bravo Sport
I am preparing to fly with my 21 month old and want to know if this stroller will work for gate checking? Any experience using this stroller for air travel?
Hi, Kaitlin,
With the folded dimensions of 72 cm x 53 cm x 35.5 cm, the Mini Bravo won't meet the cabin luggage requirements, no matter the airline. You should ALWAYS check your airline's policies, but usually, you can take your larger-than-carry-on stroller with you as the free baby luggage up till you are boarding the plane. At that moment, your stroller will be taken from you by the stewards to be stored in the back and returned to you when getting off, so that would be the gate checking.
There isn't just one way and one system for all airlines and flights, so I really recommend checking beforehand.
How can you lay the stroller back of missing a back piece?? Miss part of the black piece to fold down..
Hey, Susan,
If you are missing a piece, you probably can't use that feature of the stroller. I definitely recommend reading this guide about replacement parts and how to get them, and, of course, contacting Chicco's local customer service.
Any chance you know how to get a replacement bumper bar so I can put my infant seat on the Chicco Mini Bravo Sport? I can't seem to find the right one on Chicco site or amazon ... or anywhere!
Hey, Signe,
Sorry to say spare parts are not a thing to just go into an e-shop/to Amazon and put it in the basket. For spare parts, you need to go to the seller you bought your stroller at or contact the manufacturer (in this case, Chicco) directly. Try their customer service. It may be the spare part will be sold to you, but also possible it will not be aveilable to get anymore. It all depends on the producer and his possibility to order the part for you - here is Chicco's contact form to get in touch with their customer service.
If nothing else, browse eBay and classifieds, maybe somebody sells their pushchair for parts.
In any case, please leave a review of your Chicco Mini Bravo Sport stroller to help other parents as well.
