Chicco TRE
The Chicco TRE is a three-wheeled stroller with a dynamic design suitable for everyday use as well as for jogging and sports. Most of the active parents will appreciate its robust chassis and the affordable price. Another advantage is that the front wheels locking mechanism is located directly on the handlebar, which eliminates any need to bend. The handlebar features a decelerating hand brake, which also serves as the central brake. All wheels are equipped with air-filled tires and feature a metal frame, which makes the TRE suitable to handle all types of terrains. The rear 16" wheels are also equipped with an adjustable FlexCore suspension system so that the TRE will ride smoothly on uneven surfaces.
The TRE offers three types of folding. Apart from the basic - quickest but least compact - fold, there is an option to remove all the wheels. Alternatively, you can bend the front axle forward at the beginning, so the stroller becomes more compact and less awkward for transport (but it is, however, an extra step to take). The backrest of the non-reversible seat can be reclined, but the leg rest is not adjustable. It is more suitable for an older child that can already sit without any help. By adding the Chicco Keyfit car seat directly onto the chassis, the TRE can handle even a small baby. All the fabrics are removable for easier maintenance.

Parent reviews of the Chicco TRE
- Really nice big wheels, good for zoo, walks, jogging
- Seems comfortable for baby
- Easy to push
- I loved that I could clip the car seat in until he was big enough to sit up
- Handy water bottle holder
- Kind of awkwardly big and takes some practice to remember how to open and close it up
- Need room in the trunk of a car. Worth it for us though, we use it a lot
We are happy with this stroller and use it a lot for outdoor activities.
