40 of 41 people found the following review helpful.Summary: I chose this stroller over the MacLaren Triumph, Chicco Liteway, and the Aprica Presto, after comparing all except the MacLaren in person. This is a great lightweight stroller, with desirable features, and could easily be your only stroller if you're in the city or suburbs.Pros:-sunshade is huge, easy to use-one-handed unfold is really easy-seat reclines and sits straight, stroller is ideal for newborn-4 years-5-pt harness is SO easy to use-carrying strap-holds a Combi infant seat if you choose-stands on its own when folded-small fold (much smaller than the similar orange Contours stroller, bigger than MacLaren)-cup holders x 2, plus snack tray-really high-quality materials-can still fold the stroller with items in the basketCons:-folding takes two hands, and isn't necessarily intuitive-wide-set back wheels limit walking space for long legs-doesn't come with a weather shield (MacLaren & Presto do)-not all-terrain in any respect-sunshade doesn't rotate forward-you actually need the directions to assemble it (not really a con, just a heads-up)--lots of velcroMore details: I spent a long time researching and testing strollers before purchasing this one (and a couple of others along the way!). I wanted a lightweight stroller with a carrying strap, and I wanted a sunshade that could actually cover a whole baby. I needed a stroller that could accommodate an infant or an older child easily, and I wanted a small fold for my small car's trunk.I was torn between this stroller, the Maclaren Triumph, the Chicco Liteway, and the Aprica Presto.The Liteway didn't come with a carrying strap (does have a handle!), but had a great flat recline. But it also didn't feel all that sturdy (the ones in the store were already broken). And the sunshade was very stationary, and not that big.I bought the Presto to try it, and I envisioned spending the next 3 years having to lift my daughter into the high-seated stroller instead of her climbing in herself--not ideal. It advertises 70 lbs max, but honestly, that's an average 7-year-old--no one is going to be putting a 70-lb child in a stroller under normal circumstances. Advice: don't get caught up in silly advertising; think about what YOU need! Also, the Presto didn't actually allow an older child to sit all the way forward--they are always in some state of recline, which I didn't think would be good.Anyway, I ordered this stroller and was really excited. The sunshade is ENORMOUS. It doesn't rotate forward, which I wish it would, but I had a hard time finding a stroller in this class that did have that feature, and this one only has about a 8-inch gap between the bottom of the shade and the snack tray bar. It's beautiful. It's also easy to unfold. On the Presto I wasn't quite sure if I was doing it right because it always felt like I was going to break it.It has a carrying strap, and the seat reclines almost flat, and comes up to normal sitting as well. And it has cupholders for mom AND baby, and a snack space, with footrest between the two--love! I didn't feel like I needed this feature (the Presto didn't have it), but daughter seemed really happy to have it when I put her in! I also have friends who have Combi strollers from 8 years ago and they are still in use, so I know it will hold up, and I know it will hold a 4-year-old comfortably.I also preferred the 5-pt harness to the Presto--in the Presto all 4 straps pop out when you push the button, so you always have to puzzle them together to re-clip. In this one, the top straps stay connected with a clip, so you can have them on or off really easily, and they stay however you used them last.The fold isn't quite as easy as Combi suggests--it definitely takes longer than 3 seconds. It also takes 2 hands to fold, but only one to unfold. Actually, the unfold is amazing. See the video review to see it in action. That review also suggests to me that the stroller will "break in" and become easier to fold. It stands up when it's folded (and reminds me of a robot just for fun). I LOVE that I can leave things in the basket when I fold it; the Presto didn't do that at all...Driving-wise, this is a typical stroller. It's not an all-terrain stroller, but will be just fine in the city, store, mall, etc. We have a jogger for parks and trails, so this didn't bother me. The back wheels are a bit wide-set, which limits walking space. Probably a bummer if you have especially long strides, but also something I think it's easy to get used to. I also stepped on the wheels about 20 times today on my long walk and never tripped/stopped the stroller/really was bothered by it, so maybe it doesn't even matter.The stroller weighs 13.8 lbs by my bathroom scale, identical to the Presto.Random note: I also think the wheels on this stroller will be better on sand than the Presto's wheels, where the axle is hidden in a sand-trapping case. Just a thought for beach-bound folk.

I like lots of the features on this stroller, but a few of these improvements fall short. Find out which ones in my video review.PS: If I could add a half-star I'd give the Cabri 3.5 stars.
9 of 11 people found the following review helpful.This is my second combi stroller. We travel quite a bit with the kids and this stroller makes airplane trips super easy. This is Combi's newest stroller. The seat is slightly wider than the earlier versions. The basket is definitely larger than before but it's still not the most accessible basket. There isn't mch space to squeeze items into the basket. If the kids aren't sitting in the seat, then you can lift up the seat slightly and fit items into the basket no problem. I've been using the "Mommy Hook" to hold bags on the handle. We have a graco snugride and it fits very well into this stroller so I was able to skip getting the graco snap n go (put the seat all the way down and turn the snugride facing you a the handle). One thing I have noticed, which is in the instructions, is that you really need to make sure the front wheels are lined up perfectly into the back wheels when folding the stroller. Overall, I love this stroller and am very happy with the purchase.
