Have you used it a local places? My DD is 38lb and shes about 42 inches. Do you think she will be to big. Were driving an hour and a half away this wkend for me to take with us to WDW next wk. We purchased a jeep wrangler and its junk so I thought I would pay the extra for one of these. I like the idea that it folds up like an umbrella stroller. I wanted to get a Combi but I can't find one around here if my life depended on it. Any feedback you can give me would be very helpful. I can let you know when we get back MAy 11th how the stroller did in the parks/buses.

We bought the IPO for our trip back in September. I was very excited about this stroller as it would work for both my DD3 and DS5. However, by midweek of our trip the stroller was very difficult to push and a huge pain when it came to turning. I'm not sure if the frame was bent on the airplane or if with our park bags and a child we exceeded the weight limit and somehow "broke" the stroller. I also found that the back of the stroller did not stay in the upright position very well. I like a reclining option but this stroller tended to want to stay in the reclined position. Maybe we just got a bad stroller - I hope you have better luck with yours.

We've used ours pretty frequently. Havent had any troubles with it other than it doesnt go in the grass very well (we were at a track meet going to watch them throw javelin). Other than that no problems. Im not sure how big my son is........my guess would be about 35 lbs and I think he is 36 inches tall. He seems fine in it and we havent had an issue with the recline either.
The only thing I dont like is the sunshade isnt very big, but we are getting a rayshade and that should eliminate that. The basket isnt big either, but guess you cant have everything.


I didnt like the combi..........they just seemed flimsy to me but that is just my opinion.
