Overall it works for us

This was the exact type of stroller that I was looking for, and here is why... My son will be 3 years old next month, weighs 35 pounds, and is 39" tall. He is a big boy for his age, and on top of hauling him around, I was strolling him around in this big "cadillac" graco travel system stroller that we've had since he was born. I wanted something more compact, lightweight, I wanted to downsize, and I wanted something more age appropriate for a toddler (something that was easy for him to get in and out of when he wanted to walk).

I wanted a stroller that had a drink holder by the handles for myself, and also one for my son like the graco, but we settled with this one which only has a cup holder for my son. Everything about this stroller for the most part is great, however I will state my dislikes: the cargo area at the bottom is fairly small, but it's big enough for an essential extra diaper bag. One thing I really have a problem with is that this stroller does not have a lot of leg room for toddlers...being that my son is 39" and around 35 pounds his legs are long, and if he falls asleep, sometimes his feet fall off of the leg rest and drag on the wheels. There is also not a lot of knee room when you bend his legs to put on the leg rest. I can't see my son getting to 55 pounds and being comfortable in this stroller though. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

What I love about this stroller overall: it does what it says it does, it is lightweight, it does fold to a very compact size, and it rides smoothly, and is easy to push and maneuver with one hand. I also like the small diaper bag that comes with the stroller...nice to have extra storage for essentials.


Works great for us

I'm really impressed with this stroller, especially after having a very heavy Graco (as part of the travel system). I was in the market for a lightweight, functional stroller and I believe I have it! I do agree, the basket underneath is pretty much worthless - what's up with the bar right in the middle of it? Can't get much in or out. And I would liked to have had a cupholder for me, but again, overall I'm pleased. It's extremely lightweight, folds easily, steers well and the handle-bars are a good height for me (and I'm 5'11).

happy traveler

We purchased this for traveling to disney world and think the lightweight compact style will come in handy. It is roomy and comfortable for my 2 and a half year old. I would have liked a better basket though.


great!

It's light, very easy to maneuver and to fold. It was a lifesaver on trips to Europe and New York.

Great Light Stroller!

We got the stroller for an upcoming vacation. I've used it a few times already and love how light it is! The weather guard works so well even in windy conditions (try taking a stroll in the Windy City with a 13 month old!) Folding it up for the first couple of times was a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's a snap. The pocket in the back works great to hold keys, cell phone and even a sippy cup and crackers. My daughther likes the front bar to hold on to. I'm glad we went with the this stroller instead of the average umbrella stroller.

i use every feature on this stoller!

i am not the type of parent that buys tons of baby gear with all the bells and whistles - i knew most things would be used for less than 6 months so i contented myself with consignment shop finds. however, i was determined to find a stroller that i wanted since it was to last me 3 years or so.

i ended up with the Combi Torino and i love it!! i have a small frame and needed a lightweight stroller. the Torino is only 16 lbs but provides all the amenities of a full-sized stroller. it also has one of the biggest extendable sunshades - perfect for babies that won't wear hats. there is one a panel of clear plastic in the shade as well that lets you see baby while you push. the stroller i used for my older child didn't have one of those and i was constantly stopping to peek around and check if she was sleeping/in the sun/lost a toy/etc... i also love the harness system on this stroller. it has the full 5 point harness, but the arm straps are looser and adjustable to allow more freedom of movement without having baby's head dangling out the side. the arm straps can also be unclipped easily when baby is ready for just the crotch harness.

the other thing i looked for in a stroller was maneuverability - i like that there is just one handlebar that goes straight across as opposed to 2 curved handles. i have a dog to walk everyday and it is infinitely helpful that i can steer one-handedly while holding the leash with my other hand.

i had considered getting a cheaper model by the same brand, but decided that having a parent cup holder and adjustable handlebars was worth the extra $40. there is almost a foot difference b/w my husband and i in height so the adjustability was key. and although i haven't had to wash it yet, the seat comes off and is washable! besides that, it is well padded and is made of breathable fabric.

of course, there are cons, though very minor. i wish the wheels were made of rubber, not plastic. the brakes are easy to apply with your foot, not so easy to disengage with same foot. i have to bend down to disengage the brakes with my hand depending on what shoes i'm wearing. maybe it will loosen over time. folding the stroller is also a tad difficult (though not a deal breaker for me) b/c the front wheels have to aligned just so in order for it to fold properly. you also need two hands for folding...

in short, this is a great lightweight stroller with tons of features for the price. hope you enjoy yours as much as i do!


Wonderful Stroller..........very light

I researched stollers and car seats before committing to a purchase and am really pleased with my decision to purchase this stroller. I like the fact that it is very lightweight and not as bulky as other strollers. It folds down easily in oder to get it in & out of the car. The shuttle car seat is compatible with the stroller in order to make it a travel system. The car seat easily snaps into place on the stoller to make very lightweight and manageable travel system. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is searching for a lightweight travel system at a reasonable price!

light weight = great!

This stroller arrived yesterday and we couldn't be happier. This stroller is so light compared to my Graco full size stroller. If you live in a city its great for subway rides and stairs. The best feature this stroller has is that it folds up completely and has a strap to wear it over your back!! Great price, lightweight construction, good canopy coverage, highly recommended.


My baby loves it!!!

I just bought this stroller and my daughter loves it, she has never stayed in a stroller for so long. The steering is great, it's comfortable, lightweight and I like the unisex design. Before buying it I read other reviews and let me tell you, this stroller is not cheap at all.


Great Travel Stroller!!!

This stroller is great for what it is advertised for (it's not meant to be a full-size stroller). For the price - it's stylish and very useful. It travels well, my 2.5 yr old daughter has no problems taking naps. Also I have used it for my 5.5 yr (54 lb.) daughter for short trips with no issues. I love the carrying strap and the recline. The only thing I haven't tried with it is the carseat - I would be interested in knowing how that works.

Great stroller for the price.
