I was very excited when I heard Chicco was finally coming out with a double stroller. I was initially against any double stroller; I just didn't want to mess with it. But when our daughter was 2.5 years and our son was four months we were taking a month long trip abroad, and I knew we wouldn't be able to corral both kids without one. The Cortina Together worked wonderfully for what we needed. We already had a Chicco car seat and Trevi, so we knew we liked Chicco. And I wanted both kids to be able to sit comfortably. I knew a sit and stand would be lighter, but didn't want my two-year-old to have to stand or sit on an uncomfortable, tiny seat all the time. After hauling this thing all over Europe, here is why I love this stroller:

You can easily snap the Chicco car seat into it. I love that you can place it in the front seat or back seat. When we want more control of our toddler, we place her in the back and baby in the front. But when we are just enjoying a walk she loves... Read more

I bought this stroller because I have chicco car seat, single stroller, high chair, and pack and play and am very happy with those products. I was a little dissapointed with the double stroller. I have a 2 yr old son and a 7 mth old daughter. I put my son in the front and my daughter in the carseat in the back. With that set up it is very difficult to steer the stroller with more weight in the front. If I switched the kids my son can't see any thing over the car seat in the front. It is also a fairly expensive double stroller. It is very easiy to fold and unfold, you can do it with one hand. It fits in the back of my minivan no problem. If I did it all over again, I don't think I would go with the chicco again.

Obviously what first drew me was the Chicco name. I have a cortina system from my first daughter (now 2) and wanted a double stroller to contain both her and our newborn. The carseat fits perfectly in either front or back just like in the single stroller. I wished I could have compared this to the sit&stand side by side but I couldn't find it in the store. I also didn't have a chance to see if the chicco carseat would attach safely to the sit&stand. Some people say it does, some say it doesn't.

I love that there's still the option of letting the big kid on and off easily. With this stroller, they get on and off from the front seat instead of the back.

It really does fold up to be the same basic size as the single by width. It is simply longer/taller when folded especially if you leave the front sun shade on. Luckily the shades come off easily. It's a bit heavy but it's not an umbrella stroller :). I feel kinda like I'm pushing a semi but it handles well... Read more
