 Ok stroller but... Mar 04, 2008
By A. Duncan
I actually tried this out at a local retailer with my son. The rear wheels we have on our current stroller are worn down and it would cost me $50.00 to replace them on top of other issues I have with the thing. So I thought I'd start researching other strollers and see if I could find something I'd be happier with. This steered very nicely and folds into a square shape, the canopy seems to be ok and the back wheels locked easily. It is very lightweight and the attached carrying strap is a nice feature. I like that it is supposed to go up to 55 lbs and my son liked the cup holder. But this is a VERY narrow stroller, my son's shoulders barely fit in the seat, he's average size as in 50th percentile. I don't see how a 55 lb child could fit in here when a 28 lb 2 year-old barely does.

 Great, little, compact stroller Feb 08, 2008
By Scole
We have a big baby who won't be getting smaller anytime soon. This stroller goes up to 55lbs. which is bigger than other umbrella strollers. This is strictly an "umbrella" stroller. If you're expecting the conveniences of a larger stroller, this is not for you. If you want something compact that folds up in a flash, then great. The bonus with this little number is that it reclines, unlike traditional umbrellas. It also has a handy cup holder and a somewhat useful mesh basket below. Although, I didn't buy it for the storage capability. We're very pleased with it.

A+++++ Jan 18, 2008
By C. Castillo
My original COMBI purchase was a universal stroller frame. I thought surely it couldn't get any better. It was time to upgrade my stroller and that's when I found the Flare stroller. WOW!! It's light, easily portable, and the colors are very pleasing. I get lots of compliments on my stroller as I'm trekking about in the city. It is great for on-the-go moms and their babies. The stroller weighs almost nothing, so I don't need any help getting up and down stairs or other non-stroller friendly areas. I highly recommend this stroller!

Great lightweight stroller, especially for tall parents Jan 25, 2010
By jodimcjodi
"Jodi K."
We bought this stroller for a trip to Japan. Space would be at a premium, so we wanted something compact, yet with a recline so we could let our 3-year-old daughter nap if needed.
CONS:
-The wheels sometimes stick, making maneuvering a little hard (although it's not inoperable by any means).
-The tri-fold requires two hands. Can be difficult to fold in very crowded places.
-The sun canopy isn't designed to move (other than open and close). So if you're walking toward the sun, you can't lower the canopy in such a way as to block the sun.
PROS:
-The handle is quite tall - tall enough for me to push for miles and miles a day while on vacation (I'm 5'7"), and even tall enough for my husband to push for short distances (he's 6'5").
-The single handle can be used with one hand, which makes doors easier than with a two-handle model.
-The stroller is lightweight. Many times I had to carry this down stairs in subway tunnels with a sleeping child still in it. Every ounce mattered, I can assure you.
-This things has fairly generous size limits. My daughter is 3.5 years old, weighs 38 pounds and is 43" tall. She outgrew her Chicco before she turned 3. She still fits in this one and will probably fit for another year. Of course, now she's "a big girl" and generally hates strollers anyway.
-The footprint is small - even open this doesn't take up a lot of floor space. On crowded subways this becomes very important.
-The basket, while not huge, is sufficient to hold a few things (potty seat, snacks, change of clothes).
-When folded, this will stand on the two back wheels. I got more use out of that feature than I expected. It also has a strap for carrying.
Everybody's idea of a good or bad stroller is different. This one suited my needs well, and I was very happy with it.

 pinches fingers Nov 13, 2008
By norcalmom
We were attracted to this stoller becasue it is lightweight and smaller than our other stroller. And while it has been a good stroller for most every outting we have has two instances in which our daughter's fingers have gotten pinched under the front bar. Right where the bar attaches to the frame there is space where little fingers can rest. If someone reaches for the stroller by the bar and the bar moves upwards fingers get caught. Too bad - if it wasn't for this design flaw I would highly recommend this stroller.
