55 of 56 people found the following review helpful.I've seen lots of reviews on this stroller, so I'm trying to hit on stuff I didn't see.We actually bought this stroller for an upcoming trip to Disney World and it meets all of the things we were looking for... folds small enough to fit in our car with our luggage, folds so we can take it on the Disney buses, has 2 reclining seats for when our kids get exhausted in the parks, has cup holders (3 for kids, 1 for mom), has some storage, isn't too heavy, is a fun/unique color so we can find it easily.Color (sunset orange): it's a very nice color combo... the orange is sort of a dusty-orange, sporty looking. and the swirls are bluish-gray. The colors look sporty and fun, but not too bright and crazy. It would work well for girls or boys.The wheels are small, but sturdy. They can easily handle some uneven pavement, and a trip across some grass. But this is not an "off-roading" stroller and it is not for jogging.The stroller is narrow enough to fit through "standard" doorways. I can drive it through the front door of my house with a couple inches of clearance on each side.The stroller is very light, for a double stroller (21 lbs, I think). I can easily lift it with one hand.The carrying strap is a little silly because it's quite awkward to actually carry the stroller that way. But, when folded, you can hold the handle and roll it like a carry-on suit case (it's a little hard to explain, but is immediately obvious when you've folded it up). So carrying the stroller (even if it's folded) isn't necessary.It does not fold up itty bity. It folds very flat (the width of the 2 seats, the same height as the unfolded stroller, but only 5 o r 6 inches thick). Then you fold the flattened stroller in half (fold the 2 seats toward each other) to end up with a folded stroller that is as wide as 1 seat, as tall as the unfolded stroller, and about 2 feet thick. We've found that it's better to just leave the stroller flat if we're putting it in our car. But when folded completely, it stands up on its own and can be wheeled around (as I already mentioned).The are 3 cup holders in the front and 1 parent cup holder in the back.The baskets under the seats aren't huge, but they're as big as they can be (if you want bigger baskets, get a bigger stroller). And each canopy has a pocket in the back that could easily hold cell phone, sun glasses, keys.The canopies do not rotate forward like some strollers. The canopies are a good size, but they are either folded or unfolded; you can't rotate them forward if the sun is shining right in your kids' eyes.The stroller comes with 2 plastic pieces that can be used to attach a combi shuttle car seat. I haven't tried this feature, but it looks like it would work fine. Note: it will only hold 1 car seat (so it'd be fine for 1 toddler and 1 infant, but not 2 infants with car seats).It also has built-in "boots" on both seats. It is a piece of fabric that attaches from the bottom of the seat over the cup holder bar. It's to make the seat like a bassinet so your baby can't fall out the bottom. My kids are a little too big for this, but it looks like it might be a good option for a little baby without using the combi car seat.My older son is about 38 inches tall and the top of his head is at the top of the stroller seat. So it'll probably be fine for a couple few more inches, but after that he won't be able to rest his head comfortably anymore (but it will still offer a place to sit).
24 of 24 people found the following review helpful.(Review for 2011 Combi Twin Sport EX) Best baby product I've ever bought!! I have currently have a large (always in the 95%) 2 1/2 year old and a baby on the way in July. I am HUGE researcher and spent dozens of hours looking into and reading reviews on double strollers. I initially wanted a tandem stroller but I finally decided that side-by-side would be best because I wanted my toddler to be able to easily get in and out by herself, fully recline for naps on the go, and have interaction with her sibling that did not involve kicking the back seat.My MUST HAVES in a stroller were...-Side-by-side-Can fit through standard doors easily-Easy to maneuver-Light weight (There was NO WAY I wanted to lug around two large kids AND a massive stroller)-Comfortable and can fully recline in both seats-Cup holders/snack holders for the kids-Allows room to grow (I'm the kind of person who likes to make a smart buy that will last a long time)-Heavier weight limit (my toddler already weighs over 30lbs)THIS STROLLER DOES IT ALL!! I was excited to order this stroller after all my readings but I still had doubts and was fully prepared to return it after the first use if I was not pleased. When it arrived, my 2 year old immediately went crazy for it! She insisted on sitting in it for hours, so that told me it was comfortable. I've used it several times since it arrived and every time I use it, the stroller impresses me more. It is SO easy to maneuver when the front wheels are put are allowed to swivel and really easy to push even with my large toddler and her same-aged friend.Some reviewers have said that they dislike the small storage. The storage does not seem too small to me. It will easily hold the necessities (diapers, wipes, snacks, blankets/jackets, etc), but I wouldn't plan on using it for holding all your shopping items w/out using bag hooks.Another complaint I hear is about the lack of adult cup holders. This one I agree with but to me it shouldn't be a deal breaker. There are A LOT of after market products that can be clipped or secured on the handles to provide adult storage and cup holders, this is what I'm planning on doing in the future.I also have read that some people claim that they have problems pushing this stroller over small bumps and cracks. I've taken this over several cracks and bumps and haven't had a problem with it at all.Overall, I LOVE THIS STROLLER! My 2 year old gets excited every time I say we are going to use it. I've started bribing her with it. LOL! The only downsides to this stroller are minimal and can easily be fixed with after-market accessories.
16 of 17 people found the following review helpful.I have had this stroller for 6 months now and do like it. I have 2 boys that are 18 months apart. I read a lot of reviews and debated forever on a side-by-side or in-line double stroller, and some days I am still not sure. My "stroller history" is that I have a Chicco stroller that came with my carseat, a chicco umbrella stroller and a Baby trend single jogging stroller so that is what I am comparing it to. The following are my pros and cons after 6 months of use:PROS:1 - love that the boys both have good views when we are out. I think my 2 year old would be kicking the seat in front of him and not happy with a blocked view (but have never tried a in-line stroller). I holds his brother's hands which is very sweet2 - My chicco carseat (not a keyfit - 30 but the one that goes up to 22 lbs) DOES fit in one side when the seat is reclined and my 2 year old is still comfortable in the other side. It fits very securely and snugly with not a lot of finagling to get it that way. It does not snap or click into anything (this stroller technically only accepts combi carseats) but I feel safe going everywhere with it. It definetly won't just fall out. I don't think I would jog on rough terrain with it that way but... see my cons for more on that3 - LOVE the colors (sunset scribble) and fabric, very quality and does not feel plastic-y4 - folds flat - I have a full size truck with bed cover and leave it in there, I don't fold it in half usually b/c I don't have to but it does do that.5 - for a double stroller it is pretty light and small which was one of my main objectives for a double stroller. I love some of the features of my full sized chicco single stroller but I really did not use it that much because it was so big and bulky (mostly used my chicco umbrella stroller when I just had 1 child)6 - it does fit through most doorways. I have only had 1 door I could not get through and that was in an old store downtown. It is obviously wider than an in-line double stroller so for some of the department stores like Kohls that have crowded paths it is a hassle... but let's face it, I had trouble getting my single chicco stroller through those clothing rack sections so it isn't really the stroller's fault7 - single handle bar - I can push with one hand. I am 5'7" and it is a good height for me8 - my 2 year old is big (35 lbs and 36.5 inches at 26 months) and he is comfortable in it... but probably won't be in another 2 years (maybe even 1 year)9 - attention getter. If you don't want to be noticed then this stoller may not be for you:) With 2 cute little smiling faces side-by-side you will almost almost gets stopped and "ahhh"-ed atCONS:1 - child cup holders are pretty useless, too shallow to hold a cup really2- child bars are bendable and soft (necessary to fold in half) but my VERY active 2 year old yanks and pulls on it when he is restless which is annoying3 - storage basket is small and hard to get to, especially if one seat is reclined with carseat in it. I can't get my diaper bag in the storage basket. I solved this by getting 2 stroller hooks at target and attaching the bag whick works ok4 - no parent cupholder bar. It does have the cup holder that attatches but because of the slotted design it does not work well to put keys or cellphone in it AND... when it is attatched it pushes you over the width limit on getting through some doorways. I don't use it and purchased a cloth parent organizer from target that works better but it was annoying that I had to attatch something else to the stroller5 - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND as a jogging stroller so if that is your main purpose for this then look for something else. I am very pleased with it for store/mall outings but it is difficult to push on uneven terrain or rocky surfaces even if flat. I am researching double jog strollers right now6 - still fairly large when fully folded. Not much bigger than my chicco single but if you expecting it to be very small (like to carry over your shoulder like shown in some pics) it is NOT that. Probably smaller than other double strollers though (let's face it, anything designed to hold 2 kids won't be tiny)OVERALL: I think i I was purchasing one now I would look at a sit-n-stand stroller to achive my objective of a compact double stroller for town errands but this stroller has served me well with my kids ages and I plan to keep using it. My son was 18 months old when the baby was born and he would not have stayed in a sit-n-stand. Honestly he probably still would not do that and I like that he can't get out whenever he pleases when I am in stores. If you purchase an after market parent organizer and some stroller hooks (all cheap and easy to find) then you can pretty much fix all the cons of this stroller. If you have 2 young children (3 or under) this is a great stoller for errands on paved surfaces and malls. If you plan on doing a lot of trail walks or zoo type settings and only want 1 stroller I would look at a double jogging stroller (con on using those as your mall/errand stroller is that they don't fit through most doorways I am finding on reviews)HOPE THIS HELPS
