Anyone buy a combi stroller and regret it

Ok, I have been thinking about this and researching it and really want to order a stroller tonight! I think I am going to order a combi sbs. Do you have the one with a cup holder? If so, do you utilize it a lot. After using your combi, do you have any regrets about choosing that stroller.

I already have a jogger but it is heavy so I want another light weight sbs basically for going to stores. I also dont want to pay a crazy amount since my sbs will be the one I use for walks and all outdoor activites. Thanks for your help!


Edited to note that I meant to put this in the first year forum. I dont mind if it stays here though!

 

I have the Combi Twins Savvy with the snack tray/cup holder. I love it and I do find that the cup holder is a lifesaver for us. I put snacks in there to bribe them into staying in the stroller. I got it when they were about 19 months old and I wish I had it sooner.

BTW, do you want me to move this to FY for you?

 

I have the combi and although we have only been using it for about a month - I love it!

 

Thanks but you can keep it here! There is a lot stroller experience here!

 

I LOVE my combi, we have the snack cups too, but have to use them, but can see their utility already. Fits thru doors great, so easy to fold and carry.

 

I :wub: my Combi!!! I DEFINITELY think the cupholders are a MUST!!! I feed mine out of them and they set their sippies in them all the time!! Wouldn't get one without it.

I say BUY!

 

I have the TwinSavvy and I HATE it. The only things I like about it are it's compact fold up and the cupholders for the girls. That's it. To me it feels flimsy and weak. It doesn't steer as easily as I would expect given the price either.

 

We have a MacLaren Twin Traveller, which is similar to the Combi (but no cupholder/snack tray). It's not significantly lighter than our jogger is, but it is a whole lot more compact when folded up. (GREAT for air travel) You should be happy with it until the kids get older/heavier, when a SBS umbrella design like the Combi or MacLaren gets a little tough to steer, but you already have a jogger to switch to when the time comes. (that's probably why Jennie finds her Combi hard to steer - it's because the stroller is so compact you have no leverage)

Hope that helps!

Love ours!!

Although now that the kids are 2, I have to say that I would like an even lighter, compact double stroller like the Jeep umbrella stroller. BUT, Ben has exceeded the weight max and I think that it would be really hard to steer. It would just be nice to have something simple that they can get in and out of all by themselves.

 

We LOVE our Combi Twin Savvy. We started using it around 9 months or so and still use it often. We are able to walk to a lot of things from our house, so on the weekends it's often our primary means of transportation. We don't have any trouble steering it, and we use it on the sidewalk, in the mall, on the bike/jogging trail, off-roading a little bit at the parks and such. Works VERY well for our needs.

We don't usually do a lot of snacks or sippies when we're out and about unless we're actually going out to eat, so we don't use the snack cups that often. Usually they both want to put their snacks in the middle and they fight over it. Ah well.

 

For us cup holders are a MUST HAVE! The sippy cups will haunt you without those cup holders. I don't know about all the brands but definately you want cup holders!

 

I was initially thrilled w/my combi - but it hasn't held up well. One of my straps/clips broke so I can't fully strap one of the kids in.
