Finally...I found the perfect stroller!

[trulygoofy]

I wanted a smaller stroller to take to Disney and went to purchase a Maclaren after reading good reviews. While I was out shopping, I found the Combi ST. It is great. It is light and is a cross between a regular stroller and an umbrella stroller. The shoulder strap came in handy on the buses. It has a real canopy, basket, and it reclines. It even has a removable bar in the front. At $59 I feel I got a lot for my money. My 22 mo. old was very comfortable, and once even my 6 year old borrowed it for a nap (he was snug, but it did the job).
With 5 kids, I have been through many strollers (and taken different ones to Disney) and I wish they had these out with my first. I was so happy with it, I just wanted to pass this along.

That's good to hear. I just posted a few days ago asking for performance reviews for the Combi Cosmo. I just bought the DX model (got a great deal online) and like it so far, but we haven't taken it far yet. I'm worried that it seems a little wobbly compared to the Britax and Mac I tested, but I love the features it has that the Mac doesn't, like the tri-fold and lock, the cupholder, and the window in the canopy. Did you find pushing it easy in the parks?

I had no problems with it. It pushed and turned very easily. I am 5'1" and it was great for me. My 6'2" DH found the handle to be a little low for him. That was the only issue we had, but we have that problem with all strollers.
The tri-fold feature was great. It was easy to carry folded up and it fits better in my vehicle than any other stroller I have had.

Do you feel that this stroller would be big enough for a 3 yr old weighing about 36 to 38 pounds and close to 40 inches tall? I can not tell by the picture on the internet. Also where did you get such a great price on this stroller?

We have two Combi's (one model is comparable to the DX and the other comparable to the ST) that have been on many trips and we love them! They are especially great at Disney because they fold up so compactly for the buses, but still have a lot of comfort features.

I found it at Burlington Coat Factory after looking at the usual places (Target, Toys R Us) and not finding what I wanted. I saw "Combi" and when I saw the price, I knew I had to get it.

My 6 year old just took a nap in it and he weighs around 40-45 lbs and is 45" tall. He looked pretty snug in it, but it could be because I am used to seeing my 26 lb. baby in it! He does not ride in a stroller, but the heat and walking got to him and I was glad he could fit in. I would think a 30-35 pound kid would be comfortable. It was not hard to push at all with him in it, and the front bar can be left off for more space.

The basket on the bottom does not look big, but we stuffed it full with no problem. It does not have a cup holder, but there is a small pouch on the back of the canopy that I would put a Coke bottle in. That is the only down side, but everything else more than made up for it.
