    This is now available at sears (Canada) so I can use my Sears club dollars to buy it. Yay! However, I would like to know your opinion of this particular stroller. I think I really want a SBS. I'm just wondering ease of use, doorways, aisles, durability, etc.

    Thank you for any opinions you have. Feel free to share your fave stroller with me too, and why!

    Cheers,
    Andrea :)

    I have a Combi Twin Savvy and I think it is the same except it has the snack tray?? Not sure. But if so I would highly recommend getting something with a snack tray for finger foods when the time comes. It is so nice to throw some Cheerios in a tray to get a few extra minutes of being out and about and not listen to screaming. It is a very nice lightweight stroller.

    I also have the Valco Twin Trimode and that is my very favorite stroller :)

    I love my Combi Twin Sport. I wish it had the snack cups though.. I can easily fit thru MOST doorways and isles. As with any double stroller there are faults and it is hard to fit into places..

    GL!

    We got this stroller for walks, trips to the zoo, etc. There is hardly any space for a diaper bag underneath. We have to take a smaller diaper bag when we use this stroller. Also, I think it's not really made that sturdy. Some plastic parts have cracked. We have a Graco Duo Glide and I love that stroller, it is SO much easier to handle, but it is heavier than the Combi. If I had to pick which one I would buy if I could only have one, it would be the Graco, hands down.

    Oh, some doorways it doesn't fit through and it's hard to get down isles at the stores (I had a very hard and frustrating time getting around Old Navy last week. I had to leave the store!).

    Double strollers in general are a pain... i think the combi is one of the better ones! I have had 3 strollers... i had the double snap n go when they were in carriers-- LOVED that one-- sad to see it go. From there i got the combi twinn savvy, mine has snack cups. I like it. It does have small baskets, but i bought those stroller clips to hold my bags and that was fine. It is super lightweight and folds up to be like a golf bag-- which is MUCH smaller than most double strollers. It will fit anywhere a wheelchair will fit-- standard size. It can be a pain to get through some stores.. but EVERY stroller is a pain in some stores! My kids like to ride in it. NOW, i also have the Joovy ultralight sit n stand. it rolls like a dream and is OK for them to ride in/on, but it doesnt fold up as nice as my combi. FWIW, i like my combi and it is a good buy.

    I bought the exact one from Sears you are talking about. I love the SBS so both kids can see well, and I also don't feel like I'm driving a train and having to look around corners before nosing out! It folds very easily, first the seats go against the back and then it folds down the middle. The only issue I have with that is I thought it would fold COMPLETELY in half, but it kind of angles outward a bit, not a big deal, but not quite what I had thought. The baskets are a decent size, the problem is they have a bar that runs through them, so if you are filling them with single items it would be great, but I can't get any of my diaper bags to go in. It is nice and light, and has a carry strap that when I grab right makes it easy to carry, but sometimes I have issues I think it's just me) and it is somewhat awkward. I love that I can get it through my house door, that way I can get the kids ready and all buckled in then we leave. It has the five point harness, but it also allows you to just use the waist belt if you want. It seems to walk nicely, but I have notices that one wheel rides a little wobbly. I wish the sun visors were bigger though, I find I hang a blanket over the top so it shades them more.

    I think that's all I have to say about it, sorry for the length. I really wanted this stroller, and am really glad I got it.

    i also have the one with the snack cups (cup holders lol) i throw cheerios in them and they love it. it is hard to get around some isles but i think most of them are anyway because of the double stroller idea. the straps always come undone on my DS's side if he is moving around alot. i am not thrilled with the recline on it either. the baskets don't hold a diaper bag but that's not a problem i just put what i need underneath in one of the baskets. it has bottle holders which is insulated to keep em cool or warm whatever and a pouch in the middle of it i keep my car keys, wallet, and their gas drops in. if your going to get this one get the one with the cups definately. good luck with your search

    No, you don't have to remove the bar.
