Can't beat it for a double stroller Apr 13, 2009
By Ephay
"Ephay"
When I was pregnant with my twins, I got a double travel system from Graco. It included the Graco Duo Glider MONSTROSITY. The thing was so big that it ate over half of the cargo space in the back of my van. It was heavy, but really easy to use as long as you didn't use the infant carriers with it. It felt like the front kid was SO far away from you.
I don't remember where I learned about the Combi Twin, but I tell ya...I couldn't craigslist the Graco fast enough once I had!
The good points:
*Small & compact
*Carrying strap
*Light
*Easy to fold (my husband can even do it)
*Fits through doors (sometimes takes a little manuvering as the wheels have to be straight, not at an angle or you won't make it)
*Independent reclining seats
*3 child cup-holders
The bad points:
*TINY storage baskets
*Sometimes a pain to lock once folded because the clasp gets tangled in basket fabric
*Tiny sunshades
*NO adult cup-holders
Despite the "bad" points, as all you mom's will know, you can remedy all of them:
For the tiny storage baskets, I have little hooks on the parent handle that I can hang shopping bags or my purse on.
The clasp getting caught in the basket fabric is cured with preventative measures. I lean down & turn the clasp out before folding.
For the Tiny sunshades, I just bought the kiddopotomus sunshade (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2265552&CAWELAID=107511554).
The lack of a parent cup-holder is the biggest challenge. I use the Skip Hop Double Duo diaperbag because it will clip onto the back of the stroller. I use one of the front pockets or one of the side-sippy cup pockets of the diaper bag for holding my beverage.
All in all, I love this stroller. My g/f who had twins a year behind me visited recently & was insanely jealous of mine (she also has the Graco). I'd recommend it despite any "set-backs"!!

Love it but little storage Apr 09, 2009
By A. Hedgpeth
I love this stroller, but there are only two downsides I've found:
1.) STORAGE. The basket below is very small, and if my purse is full of kids' stuff (diapers, sippy cups, etc.), then I can't fit it down there. Granted I have a large purse, but most people with little kids carry either a large purse or a diaper bag. I wouldn't mind so much if I was able to hang my purse on the handlebars, but since it's got the one bar handle, you can't hang it. You can purchase those little stroller hooks to hang things from, so I think that's what I'll do.
2.) OFF-ROADING. It's pretty difficult to push over grass or rough terrain, but that's pretty common among strollers.
What I love most about it is:
1.) HANDLEBAR. I really do love the fact that it has the one handlebar across because it's better for one-handed pushing. If I get a call or am holding a drink I can still push it with both kids in (and they weigh almost 65 pounds together). Also, I have big boys (38 lbs and 25 lbs), and it fits them great.
2.) KIDS' CUP HOLDERS. They love the cup holders, too. There are three for them, so we can put their cups in there plus a snack.
3.) DESIGN. I think it's very cute, too. I love the orange. I was afraid it would be too feminine for my boys, but it's very neutral.
4.) FOLDING UP. It folds up VERY easily. I was very surprised. It also folds out with just one motion. I love that. I also like that it stands up when it's folded, and it has a strap so that you can carry it easily. That's good for going through an airport.
5.) WIDTH. Another think I was amazed about is the width. I was so surprised that it even fits through the bedroom doors at my house. I've never had trouble navigating it through places, even crowded boutiques. The turn radius is also really small, so it makes it even easier to navigate.
I love this stroller and highly recommend it as long as you purchase a separate cup holder and purse hook to attach to the push bar.

 Great Buy! Feb 27, 2008
By E. H.
As a mom of two young boys (2 1.2, and 4 weeks) this has been a great practical purchase. My youngest can sit in his carseat and be on one side and my 2 year old is comfortable on the other. It is not hard to manuver and fits through all doorways I have come across so far. It fits nicely into the trunk of my dodge neon. It's very lightweight and easily folds up. The only thing that has bothered me is the baskets, they are very small.

Great, Great, Great! Jul 26, 2009
By Andi
I received this stroller yesterday and liked it before we even used it. I really, really like the colors (we have it in papaya) - great for both boys and girls, which we needed since we have one of each. It is really lightweight, yet feels very sturdy. I really like that it has the bars and the cupholders. I am only giving it 4 stars, because they should have made the bars snack trays and there are just a couple of other small issues. There are 3 cupholders and one of them can be used for snacks, but it just would have been nicer to have more snack room. Are you reading this Combi? Add snack trays and a cupholder for the parent, and you'll have the perfect system! I tried it out in the neighborhood last night (lots of hills, took it on and off the sidewalk) and had no problems maneuvering it at all. It turns great and was easy to push the entire time. I like the peek-a-boo mesh windows to view the kiddos if the canopies are out, and I like the basket - although it is a little hard to get to, but not enough trouble to justify not getting or keeping the system. I also like that the seats recline independently, and I like that it's a pulley system; means you can adjust it to exactly where they want. AND, not only does it fold flat, but then it folds over again, so it basically folds down to the size of a single stroller and has a really convenient carrying strap. I do wish the canopies would disconnect from the back to go down lower in front if I needed them to, but they do give enough shade for me to be satisfied. We're excited to head to the zoo with this! If you're looking for a little more storage for a drink for you or your keys, cell phone, wallet, then I suggest the JL Childress Double Wide Bottles 'N Bags Stroller Organizer. It fits perfectly across
the back of this stroller, and will hold any drink bottles you have just fine. If you're hoping for it to hold a can or a cup with a straw, you might be a little disappointed. But it works perfectly for me, and perhaps the best thing about this particular organizer is that you don't have to take it off when you fold the stroller up!
**UPDATE - Over a year later, and I still love it. This has been to the zoo and around the neighborhood probably a hundred times. Still in perfect shape and exactly what I needed. It's fantastic!!!
**2nd Update - Nearly two years later - still a great stroller! Shows hardly any wear at all, and still going strong at the zoo!
**3rd Update - March 12, 2012 - STILL IN GREAT SHAPE!!! This is an amazing stroller!! When I clean the fabric, it looks new again. I'll be very sad if something happens to it, but if it does I will definitely replace it with a new Combi!

 Sturdy but inconvenient storage Jul 18, 2008
By Jeannebeanne
I bought the Combi Twin Sport 2 double stroller for my daughter-in-law. When it arrived, she was quite pleased with how it came out of the box ready to roll - no assemby required. She was also quite pleased with how light-weight it was and how small it folded up to. However, the first time she took it to the zoo, she found the storage space to be a very big problem. The baskets underneath the stroller are very small and very difficult to get to. She had put my purse in one of the baskets and I had to get down on my knees to get it out. We ended up returning it for one by Graco which was just as lightweight but had much larger and handier storage. If storage isn't a problem for you, this is a very well-built stroller.
