Anyone have a Combi stroller? Need advice

I just bought a Combi Cosmo. I am not sure if I should keep it or not. I went to Buy Buy Baby to look at them since I knew they had them. I was not able to take my DS the day I went to look. I test drove the stroller and looked at some others. I was sure the Cosmo was the right choice. They didn't have any in stock, so they order it and it gets shipped to my house. I got it today.

Now that I have it together, I had DS in it and his head is just about to the top of the seat!!! How is this stroller supposed to hold a kid up to 55lbs?? Seems like DS would outgrow it way before that b/c he would be too tall.  At DS' 18 mont appt. in March, he was 75% for height, so he is a little taller than average, but not all that much.

Anyone else have a Combi and is your child over 2 years old and still fits in it? Is it worth it for me to keep the stroller?? Thanks for your input. 

Also, I should add that I had a Maclaren Volo and sold it and bought this stroller to replace it. The Volo was rubbing the back of my DS' legs and leaving marks. Any other lightweight/umbrella stroller suggestions are welcome, as long as they are under $130.

  • looks just like my combi savvy.  My kids still fit in it just fine.  After about 2 y/o, my kids stop growing as much in the torso and their legs and arms grew longer and thinned out.  neither is a really big kid, but DD is >50% and still fits in it fine at 3 y/o.

  • IDK if the seats are comparable but we have the Combi Twin Savvy Sport and both my 3 year old daughter and almost 5 year old son can sit comfortably in the seats. Neither is anywhere near 50 lbs, which is the weight limit for each seat on ours. HTH!

  • thanks for the advice! I am going to take it on our walk today and see if I like it enough to keep it.
