Now, let me explain:

I switched to this stroller after getting fed up trying to make my Graco Metrolite stroller fold. I have a 9 month old and have only tried these 2 strollers, so I can only compare the Combi to the Graco. Since the Graco was neither Metro (to wide and bulky for shopping) nor Lite (that stroller was HEAVY and barely fit in my minivan), I was looking for something that was compact, light and fun. The Combi is all those things, but at the expense of the features I liked in the Graco: adult cup holders, large basket, adjustable handle, adult foot bar for getting up curbs.)

That being said, it is a wonderful stroller. My son is almost meditative in this stroller! He just sits back and watches the scenery, now that he can actually see it. The Graco was so bulky that he had to lean to see around the edges. And I had to lean to see him even if the canopy was folded because it stuck up so high. The canopy on this isn't very adequate if you need good sun protection for long walks, but that is easily fixed with a separate sunshade. (I bought the one by Protect-a-bum and it fits great.) I find this stroller far easier to use on grass than the Graco, probably because it is so much lighter.

The basket underneath is basically a joke. It starts out small, then it has the support bar going through the middle, making it even smaller. You might fit a few diapers, but not a diaper bag. In the Graco I fit tons of stuff, like my purse and diaper bag and shopping bags. The support bar isn't situated back far enough to allow you to step on it so you can get the leverage to get the stroller up a curb. The instructions say to turn around and pull the stroller up, but it is annoying to not have the option to do it both ways.

I love the carry strap. It is so convenient to sling this over my shoulder and carry my son down the steps instead of having to carry one or the other. It is a bit awkward that the guard rail is soft, making it difficult to grab the front of the stroller when going up or down a few steps.

Overall, I have been very pleased with this stroller for the 2 weeks I've had it. My 9 month old really enjoys strolling around in it and I find it much easier to stroll him in.

We bought this over a year ago for our travels via the airlines. A+ for it's weight and size (it is very light and does the job). D- as it does not manuever well with one hand. We're going with a basic umbrella stroller soon.

This is a great second stroller for us, especially useful when traveling. It is not quite as light as a previous Combi that we bought, but much sturdier. It is well padded and comfortable and the reclining back is convenient. The wheels are not too small and provide a smooth ride. It would have been nice if the canopy were larger to provide shade during late afternoons or during nap time. The cupholder is a nice bonus.

I love that it folds not only down but in half too without you having to bend over. It is EXTREMELY lightweight and very padded for the little ones. I put my 7 month old in it and my heart melted she looked so comfortable. The bar in front is sort of a kicking bar. My little one loves to prop her feet up there and kick it. keeps her very entertained. The basket is very small though... we're talking only a few necessities could fit in it. It's basically an umbrella stroller with teh option to lay the baby all the way flat (makes a great changing station) so you could use it with a newborn. It has a 5 point harness and I feel very secure even with her leaning all the way forward. It does not have cupholders for adults or a child tray. .. so you can buy add ons like that extra. There's a viewer in the sunshade which is great. All in all, I love it, but I think it's worth $40 - $50 ... not $100!

I purchased this stroller for my in-laws. They will be keeping my daughter while I am at work. They love the stroller and have taken her out in it already. It really isn't good for infants unless they are sleep, which she does a lot of right now, but excellent for todlers and older. I would recommend it.

This is a great lightweight stroller that's easy to fold and unfold. We didn't need an umbrella stroller or a system since this works great. It's nice for travelling and shopping also. The only problem is the canopy is a bit wopsided, but it's probably just a mistake with the manufacturing.
