Ease of use and convenience
Stroller seat
This stroller allows for three modes of use; the infant mode, the transition mode and the full featured toddler mode. In the infant mode, you can remove the stroller seat to allow the infant car seat to sit directly on the stroller frame. With the use of an adapter, you can attach the Chicco key fit infant car seat or Chicco fit2 infant car seat. This combo comes with a child tray that doubles as an adapter for the infant car seat.
The transition stage when baby is still in the infant car seat but wants to seat up, you can attach the infant car seat directly to the stroller without removing the stroller seat and canopy. The key fit infant car seat always face the rear of the stroller.
You can use the transition mode for your infant. I like it better because you do not have to remove the stroller seat and canopy to attach the infant car seat. Plus you can use the stroller canopy in conjunction with that of the infant car seat to make a dark place for baby to sleep outdoors.
When your child out grows the Key fit infant car seat or the fit2 infant car seat, they can seat directly in the stroller seat. The stroller seat is very comfortable. You can add a soft removable reversible insert to make is super soft for your little one. I like that you can remove the insert to clean because as we both know, little ones are a messy bunch. This stroller seat is recommended for babies who can seat unassisted.
The stroller seat reclines to multiple positions. To recline, you need to squeeze on both levers on the rear of the seat and push the backrest down to the desired position. The seat can recline to a nice flat position for your toddler to have some shut eye outdoors. You can bring it back up to an upright position for your child to have a better view of their environment.
As I mentioned earlier, you can remove the stroller seat to used the lightweight stroller frame as a car seat carrier. The stroller seat has a padded five point harness that is easy to put on and take off. It adjust for height and around the waist. Even the crotch strap is padded. The stroller is recommended for use for babies from 6 months to 50 lbs.
Infant car seat
The car seat that comes with this stroller is the Chicco keyfit 30 infant car seat. This infant car seat features a soft removable insert that is recommended for babies 4-11 lbs. The interior of the seat is lined with EPS energy absorbing foam for improve head impact protection. It has a five point safety harness and an adjustable canopy.
The base of the car seat reclines to ensure proper installation in all cars. It also has a dual level indicator to help with proper installation. It is latch equipped for an easy tighter installation. This infant car seat removes easily from its base and the stroller, making the transition from car seat to stroller and back seamless.
The infant car seat features premium zipper accents for added style and convenience. The seat pad can be removed easily for cleaning; it is machine washable. It features a zip off canopy and a zip on sun visor for added protection from the sun.
The base of the car seat is designed with an enclosed underside that helps protect vehicle seat from damage.
Handlebar, parent tray and canopy
The handlebar adjust for height to make this stroller comfortable for parents of a wide range of heights. It adjust up and down, not telescoping so you can make the stroller taller not longer. The handlebar is comfortable to the touch.
The parent tray has two cup holders and a covered storage for your personal storage belongings like phones and keys. Just like the child tray, it is removable and it cleans easily.
The canopy is big and adjustable. It has a sun visor that extends downward to provide additional protection from the sun and wind. The canopy has a mesh window that allow air to flow in to provide ventilation for your child, especially on hot summer days.
Folding and storage
The Bravo Le trio stroller features a quick self-standing fold. With one hand, you can lift on the fold handle located in the seat and the stroller will quickly fold on its self. As you lift the handle, the front wheels swivels inward to allow for a compact fold every time. The self-standing feature allows for easy storage and transportation.
Safety
The Chicco Bravo le trio travel system is parked with safety features. First off, both the stroller and infant car seat have five point harnesses. This is the type of harness recommended by many US regulatory agencies and pediatricians. It is so because, this type of harness secures a child in five places, making it hard for them to wiggle out of their seat.
Both stroller and car seat have big adjustable canopies with sun visors to help protect your child from the elements. In addition to this, the stroller is equipped with a foot activated linked parking brake that is very easy to use.
