Combi Twin Savvy or Peg Perego Aria?

Any opinions? I'm leaning toward the Peg perego but i thought I would ask the panel of experts here. For those of you with either of these strollers can you tell me what you like or dislike about them? I purchase this big for us right now is quite a big deal as money isn't just growing on trees around here so I really would appreciate your input. Thanks!

 

We have the Combi and love it. It is lightweight, easy to manuever, and the snack cups come in handy! The only thing that bugs, other than the small baskets, is that the straps are hard to adjust. BUT, they don't need to be adjusted often, so it isn't a huge deal.

 

I have the Peg Perego. It's light and easy to maneuver. What I don't like about it is that the basket drags and there is a plastic piece behind their heads that keeps the straps in place and it doesn't look comfortable. But I just put a burp cloth over it and they'll eventually grow tall enough where it doesn't rub their head.

 

Could a mod link this to the 1-5 board? Pretty please??

 

I have the Combi and am very happy with it. The only thing I don't like about it is the small baskets. However, I bought hooks at BRU that will hold plenty. I bought 4 and went to Target the other day. One hook held my return items, two hooks held my diaper bag, and the last hook held the shopping basket. I was still able to fit down the aisle.

 

I have the Combi. I love how light weight and easy it is pop into the back of the car. It folds up nicely. I don't have a problem with manueverablity but my 9 year old daughter cannot push it. I also had to buy the hooks at BRU which has worked out great. I still think that I might have bought the duo-glider instead of a side-by-side. I hate going into stores because I can't manage to get through all the racks of clothing, especially stores like gymboree or children's place. I think there is pros and cons to every stroller, I'm just not 100% sold on the Combi Saavy. I have never seen anyone on these boards that has been dissatified with it though, that's why I bought it. Good luck in your quest for the ultimate stroller!

 

Combi here too!! I love it. I can push it and pull luggage behind me through the airport! It's really light, but the storage could be better. There are little hook things you can get for that though!

 

Just a thought -have you checked your local craigslist or twin moms group for a gently used one? I see strollers for sale all the time at a fraction of the cost of new.

Those are the two stores that I find most challenging. But everywhere else is a breeze. On a side note, even my friends with long tandem strollers have a hard time in those stores!!!

 

I have the Aria and I love it. The baskets were the deal breaker for me with the Combi. The only thing I don't love about the Aria is that I got a floor model (it was a lot cheaper) and it was kind of hard to open at first and the cup holder was missing.

 

Neither. If you want a storage basket, forget it. The Peg Perego's basket drags on the ground with a tiny bit of weight in it. Several people complained about it on the reviews. The Combi has the tiniest storage baskets. You'll never fit anything underneath! I went with the Graco DuoRider side by side.

 

Another combi fan here I love mine. It's light, easy to fold/unfold, stands when folded, the kids seem comfortable and have convenient snack cups. The baskets are small, but I have a backpack diaper bag, so that's not a problem for me. A lot of times I just throw whatever I need in the baskets and I'm fine. HTH

 

I like the Peg Perego as well. I have to agree with the under basket though. Mine actually ended up breaking. I just love it though!!!

 

We have the Peg Perego Aria and have only used it several times walking in the neighborhood. It's nice and lightweight but for some reason the tires every so often sticks. Maybe I need to maneuver it better. I love it but glad that it was given as a gift because they are quite expensive.

We ordered the new Quattro Duoglider from Graco but it won't be available until April - it's a tandem and looks real nice and supposedly folds a lot smaller than the Aria.

I have a Peg Perego and LOVE it. The storage basket is not an issue for us as I only put jackets in there. Our diaper bag is a backpack Petunia Pickle Bottom and I have stroller clips for purchases.

I think I say this in every stroller post-- but I think the most important thing is to find that 1 or 2 attributes that are MOST important to you in a stroller and find one that fits. If it is storage then the Combi and Aria probably aren't the best choice. If it is being light weight, manuevering decently, folding up compact-then these might be the 2 best options.

Best of luck in your search!

 

I have the peg--it is OK, but the basket does drag. Stroller hooks took care of that. I would get the combi if I were you.

 

I have the combi and love it. It folds up so small. Its light. I have the hooks so I can hang my purse and any bags. Just gotta be careful cause if you take the kids out before the bags it tips . You can put stuff underneath but yah its not huge but fine for a few bags. The only issue I have with it is my son can wiggle out of any buckle except for his carseat and he can wiggle out of this one. I need to get some velcro straps so he can slide it down over his skinny shoulders. We call him houdini!

 

I have the Peg, it's nice, but I also have the wheel sticking problem, which really annoys me, I bought it because it's so lightweight, we use a jogging stroller for the neighborhood/park walks but its sooo huge. I am now thinking of getting this new kolcraft stroller.
