Our Verdict: Chicco Bravo Trio

The Chicco Bravo Trio scored 88 out of 100 across the four criteria we score every travel system on, and took Best Value Travel System in our travel system guide.

What earns it that award: Pull-handle fold collapses the frame instantly, and it stands up on its own.

The honest limit, and the reason it is not higher: Front wheels struggled slightly on loose gravel.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Comfort

Eight and a half. The comfort here is practical rather than plush: the built-in child snack tray kept Hannah Reid's toddler fed and settled through 30-minute lines at Chessington, and the cup holders and trays come in the box. What it gives up is the high-end feel of a Bugaboo, which the testers named directly. A toddler who is fed and occupied is a comfortable toddler, and that is the case for this score.

Ease of use

Nine. The testers rated the KeyFit 30 base the easiest installation of the five tested systems, and a base you can fit correctly without a fight matters more than any feature on the stroller. The KeyFit 30 itself weighs 9.5 lb by Chicco's figures, middle of the pack for a carrier. Only the Doona and the Vista V3 moved the seat between car and frame more smoothly in the notes.

Push & handling

Eight, and the notes draw the line clearly. On the paved theme park walkways at Chessington, Hannah Reid found it handled easily. On loose gravel paths, the front wheels struggled slightly. That is the profile of a stroller built for pavement and parking lots, and most families spend most of their time on exactly that. If your weekends lean toward dirt trails, the Fox 5's perfect ten is the comparison to make.

Fold & storage

Eight and a half, joint second in this guide. Oliver Davies pulled the central handle under the seat pad and the frame collapsed instantly, in the rain, in the LEGOLAND parking lot. It then stood upright on its own, so the handlebar stayed off the wet asphalt. Chicco lists the folded size at 15 x 22.8 x 29 in with the child tray removed. The testers called the one-hand pull fold pure magic in rain.

Should You Buy the Chicco Bravo Trio?

Buy it for this: Pull-handle fold collapses the frame instantly, and it stands up on its own. KeyFit base was the easiest installation of the lot.

Go in knowing this: Front wheels struggled slightly on loose gravel. Lacks the high-end feel of the Bugaboo.

Scored against the same four criteria as everything else here, this is a question of fit rather than quality. The gear that gets used is the gear that suits your week.

Conclusion: Chicco Bravo Trio

The Chicco Bravo Trio took Best Value Travel System in our guide, and it is worth buying if that is what you need most. Even its lowest score, 8 out of ten for Push & handling, is a strong one, so the trade-off is small.
