How it works
The Chicco Bravo Trio is more than a stroller or a car seat. It’s packaged together as a travel system. With it, you get the Chicco Key Fit 30 Infant Car Seat that can be turned into the stroller just by fitting it into the frame. The system consists of the stroller frame, car seat and base.
It is one of the most popular car seat stroller combinations on the market right now. It’s a mixture of ingenuity, style, and convenience which are defining attributes to all Chicco™ brand products. The resulting product is a high quality, all-in-one travel system that parents who are constantly on the move will love.
The Chicco Bravo Trio truly stands out and it is a work of innovation because of its industry-leading features. The Chicco stroller can easily be opened or folded up with one hand. Once folded, it becomes very compact for convenient storage and handling. The car seat itself has a few different configurations as well so it can be laid flat and reclined upward like a normal seat, with a few additional options in between.
The material of the seat is also what makes the Chicco Bravo Trio a great product. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing with its sleek designs and chic colors, the fabric is also very easy to clean. And the neutral but stylish colors, as well as the modern design, allow it to match well with all types of car interior fabrics or colors.

Additionally, the fold handle can be used to carry the stroller when it’s folded up.
The stroller features a large basket at the bottom for storage which is accessible from any side, making it a convenient storage option for parents. The stroller also has 9 inch wheels that can maneuver in all directions and can function on any type of surface.The stroller can also be used for many years thanks to its adjustability. The stroller features a one-touch braking system so it’ll stay put when parked as well. In addition, the stroller has a parent tray with two cup holders. A child tray can also be added that has two cup holders as well.
The car seat has a great design as well. It weighs 9 pounds alone but 17 pounds with the base included. The base is 17 inches wide with the car seat or 15 inches wide by itself, and 27 inches long making it the perfect size even for compact cars.
The seat has LATCH connections and a five-point harness that can be tightened with one pull to keep babies safe and secure. The seat also has some built in features that make it easy to install. It has bubble level indicators so that parents can ensure that the seat is properly level and is at the appropriate angle in the car. The car seat itself is also adjustable, allowing for several different reclining options. This is ideal for parents who take lengthy car rides because their child will be able to be comfortable in the multiple reclining positions.

Maintenance
The fabrics can be washed in the machine in cold water on delicate cycle. Air drying or drip drying is recommended. The plastic outer parts and the hardware can be cleaned using warm warm, mild soap and a sponge and then dried off with a towel. For the harness, machine washing is not recommended. It should be sponge cleaned with warm water, mild soap and left to air dry.
The fabric is easy to wipe clean for quick, on-the-go cleanups. The plastic shell is also resistant to scratches. But if they do get scratched or damaged, the color hides it well so that the travel system stays looking new for a long time.
Additionally, because the seat is able to be lifted from the base and the stroller, anything that’s trapped inside the seat can be dumped out for a very thorough cleaning that parents will appreciate.

Portability
The Chicco Bravo Trio system is unique because of its convertible nature. The car seat is taken out of the car and then fitted into the stroller frame easily. When the stroller is no longer needed, the stroller folds up into a tight little package. To fold it up, you need to pull the handle on the seat in order for it to collapse. After it’s folded up that same handle can be used to carry the unit.
Comfort
The seat can be adjusted into multiple positions so that your baby is always comfortable on long car rides. The seat also comes with head and body supports so that newborns are positioned well and stay safe and secure. Every aspect of the travel system is able to be adjusted so that the seat can be changed based on the preferences of the child. They can lay completely flat, sit upright or anything in between.
Price Range
The Chicco Bravo Trio travel system is definitely marked lower than many of its competitors out there but it doesn’t sacrifice quality or safety in order to allow for the lower price point. There are many other strollers and car seats that go for more but don’t rank as highly as this system in safety or performance. And for the cost, you’re getting an entire system that includes a car seat and stroller. This is a great product for parents who have a budget but still want a good quality item.
Safety
The Chicco Bravo Trio travel system is recommended by NICU nurses because the car seat has the support inserts to keep newborn babies securely in place. The inserts and the adjustability of the travel system help keep babies safe as they continue to grow and their car seat needs change. The shell of the car seat is also made of EPS energy-absorbing foam to absorb impact in the case of an accident. The LATCH system enables the seat to be secured tightly to your vehicle’s seat as well. The bubble level indicators also help parents ensure that their seat is installed correctly in either the car or the in the stroller.
