Combi Twin Sport DX Stroller, Graphite Scribble

 (5 customer reviews)

I've seen lots of reviews on this stroller, so I'm trying to hit on stuff I didn't see.
We actually bought this stroller for an upcoming trip to Disney World and it meets all of the things we were looking for... folds small enough to fit in our car with our luggage, folds so we can take it on the Disney buses, has 2 reclining seats for when our kids get exhausted in the parks, has cup holders (3 for kids, 1 for mom), has some storage, isn't too heavy, is a fun/unique color so we can find it easily.
Color (sunset orange): it's a very nice color combo... the orange is sort of a dusty-orange, sporty looking. and the swirls are bluish-gray. The colors look sporty and fun, but not too bright and crazy. It would work well for girls or boys.
The wheels are small, but sturdy. They can easily handle some uneven pavement, and a trip across some grass. But this is not an "off-roading" stroller and it is not for jogging.
The stroller is narrow enough to fit through...Read more

(Review for 2011 Combi Twin Sport EX) Best baby product I've ever bought!! I have currently have a large (always in the 95%) 2 1/2 year old and a baby on the way in July. I am HUGE researcher and spent dozens of hours looking into and reading reviews on double strollers. I initially wanted a tandem stroller but I finally decided that side-by-side would be best because I wanted my toddler to be able to easily get in and out by herself, fully recline for naps on the go, and have interaction with her sibling that did not involve kicking the back seat.

My MUST HAVES in a stroller were...
-Side-by-side
-Can fit through standard doors easily
-Easy to maneuver
-Light weight (There was NO WAY I wanted to lug around two large kids AND a massive stroller)
-Comfortable and can fully recline in both seats
-Cup holders/snack holders for the kids
-Allows room to grow (I'm the kind of person who likes to make a smart buy that will last a long time)...Read more

I realize that folks have very strong opinions about strollers, but IMO this is a solid buy and a good value for a family that places a premium on ease of use, baby comfort, and affordability. The reason for only 4 stars is that it does not appear to be the sturdiest stroller, and I wonder how reliably it will operate after a year's worth of abuse given its cheaper lightweight components. We also tried out the Maclaren Twin Triumph and were disappointed -- the only aspect that the Maclaren was superior (IMO) was how small it was when folded up. I can see how folks in NYC or frequent travelers would love it; however, we found it more difficult to fold than the Combi (by a lot), it doesn't stand on its own when folded, and it has metal bars that run right down the center of your babys' back (uncomfortable and unavoidable).

Other observations -- the bar that comes with the Combi is mostly useless, but it does project an aura of comfort for the babies (they can hold onto it,...Read more
