Chicco Bravino vs Mompush Lithe V2
The Lithe V2 is $40 cheaper at $190 and 3.1 lb lighter at 17.4 lb, against the Bravino's $230 and 20.5 lb. It also folds smaller, 11.02 x 21.26 x 26.97 inches against 16 x 20 x 28.3, and carries a four-year warranty. Every Chicco KeyFit seat attaches to the Bravino, so it doubles as a car-seat carrier for a newborn, while Mompush names no car seat or adapter. The Bravino's handlebar reaches 41.5 inches, it stands folded and its seat takes 50 lb. The Lithe lists a near-flat 175 degree recline from birth, but Mompush gives 40 lb in one place and 50 lb in another, caps the basket at 4.4 lb and uses small wheels, 4.9 inches in front and 5.5 behind. A KeyFit in the car makes the Bravino the obvious pick, and the Lithe's contradictory limits and 4.4 lb basket make it a travel stroller rather than an everyday one.
Folded, the Mompush Lithe V2 makes a 3.66 cu ft box to the Chicco Bravino's 5.24 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Chicco Bravino misses by 7 in and the Mompush Lithe V2 by 7.26 in. The Mompush Lithe V2 is 3.1 lb lighter by its maker's figure (17.4 lb to 20.5 lb). The Mompush Lithe V2 is newborn-ready as sold; the Chicco Bravino needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months. For taller parents, the Chicco Bravino's handlebar reaches 41.5 in against 40.6 in.
