Combi Flare Reviews

Great for on-the-go & travel
by Arvind , 2010-02-22

We bought this stroller before a long overseas trip and had to haul it everywhere.... but the lightweight made it a breeze to travel with it! The clasp to collapse the stroller into a folded position was a bit tricky at first, but you soon get the hang of doing it - but you need both hands to close it! The storage sack below is great for shoving things in when you are in a hurry, and I bought the Combi all-weather cover for it - which was a perfect fit and was super handy in the rain and snow! I also have a warm weather fleece insert that I use in the snow and prefer this one most times to the other huge jogger stroller we have. Overall a good stroller!

Go to stroller!

I used an older model of this one with my 1st daughter 4 years ago and loved it. Back then, they didn't even have cool colors, just black and grey. Then for my 2nd daughter I got a more highly rated, more expensive stroller and then that one was not as good and it got recalled for chopping fingers off. So I went back to this one and have one in the trunk of my car, my husband's, and the nanny. It is easy to fold up, light weight to carry and doesn't take up that much room. Better quality than the cheapie $20 strollers and fabric wipes off easily. Not too hard to assemble either. I am about 5'6" and my husband 5'11" and we both drive it comfortably.

Pretty Good Stroller

Pro's
Lightweight
Compact
Easy to navigate through stores
Great for traveling--We travel from PA to OR frequently via plane

Con's
Wish it had a harness restraint rather than simply around the waist
There is no parent tray so it makes carrying the diaper bag etc a little inconvenient. I solved with Mommy Hooks.
Basket underneath holds minimum items

All con's are not a biggie since this stroller is so easy to use. I recommend it to any mom with an infant 9 months and older.

Great lightweight stroller, especially for tall parents
by jodimcjodi from Seattle, WA, 2010-01-25

We bought this stroller for a trip to Japan. Space would be at a premium, so we wanted something compact, yet with a recline so we could let our 3-year-old daughter nap if needed.

CONS:
-The wheels sometimes stick, making maneuvering a little hard (although it's not inoperable by any means).
-The tri-fold requires two hands. Can be difficult to fold in very crowded places.
-The sun canopy isn't designed to move (other than open and close). So if you're walking toward the sun, you can't lower the canopy in such a way as to block the sun.

PROS:
-The handle is quite tall - tall enough for me to push for miles and miles a day while on vacation (I'm 5'7"), and even tall enough for my husband to push for short distances (he's 6'5").
-The single handle can be used with one hand, which makes doors easier than with a two-handle model.
-The stroller is lightweight. Many times I had to carry this down stairs in subway tunnels with a sleeping child still in it. Every ounce mattered, I can assure you.
-This things has fairly generous size limits. My daughter is 3.5 years old, weighs 38 pounds and is 43" tall. She outgrew her Chicco before she turned 3. She still fits in this one and will probably fit for another year. Of course, now she's "a big girl" and generally hates strollers anyway.
-The footprint is small - even open this doesn't take up a lot of floor space. On crowded subways this becomes very important.
-The basket, while not huge, is sufficient to hold a few things (potty seat, snacks, change of clothes).
-When folded, this will stand on the two back wheels. I got more use out of that feature than I expected. It also has a strap for carrying.

Everybody's idea of a good or bad stroller is different. This one suited my needs well, and I was very happy with it.

Excellent Stroller
by ajk from usa, 2010-01-24

We put this stroller through the works over the last year and a half and its still holding up.

Its great for traveling as it compacts to nothing and is light.

The only complaint are the wheels the rubber tends not to roll over pavement that is pitted.

Over good surfaces the stroller glides effortlessly.
