Company Info:
Like so many other stroller brands, Chicco began with the birth of a new baby. After Pietro Cateli’s son was born in 1958, he began making strollers. Since then Chicco’s mission is to manufacture safe products for children around the world. Among other baby items, Chicco carries standard, umbrella, and double strollers.
