What it does well
- Under 16.5 lb, more than a pound lighter than the $109.99 Chicco Liteway
- Folds without retracting the canopy
- One-hand recline, which the base Summer 3Dlite lacks
- Under $100 list
What it gives up
- No folded size is printed, so 'fits a trunk' is the maker's claim
- No car seat compatibility
- Under $100 list, but no car seat or newborn mode, so it starts with a sitting baby
What you lift
Safety 1st does not publish a weight for this model, so it is left blank rather than estimated.
Infant car seats

The carry-on check
Safety 1st publishes no folded dimensions for the Safety 1st Step Lite on the pages read for this catalog, so there is no carry-on verdict. A size is never estimated from photos or a sibling model.
