Combi strollers?

My DH and I saw a cute Combi stroller in the store and we loved the way it looked and handled. All the reviews on BRU and other websites are pretty good but I was looking for bumpies advice.

I have one and it is alright, they don't handle as well as you'd think, you'd be better off to spend a bit more and get a Maclaren. 

I may dislike the Combi so much because my main stroller is a Bugaboo Frog and my other is a Maclaren Techno XLR.  But seriously, the Combi was $120 and for $120 I feel like it could handle a lot better than it does.  I left it at my mom's house for when we go there.

I agree with the pp- they really don't handle that well when you have a baby/toddler in it.  Also, DH is pretty tall (6'2") and the Combi's are just not comfortable for him to push.  Maclarens are better or a slightly cheaper option is the Graco Ipo- this one is nice b/c the seat folds flat.  But I will say that over time, the Ipo has gotten harder to steer as well.

We have one and love it.  I can't speak for toddlers, but I have a 30 pound 8 month old, and he loves it!

When I was pg with DS we purchased several Combi items (infant car seat, high chair, pack n play and stroller).  We have been fairly disappointed in all of it.  The only thing that hasn't given us some kind of issue is the high chair.  I don't know anything about that specific stroller but I do know that for what that brand charges for most if it's items, you would think that they would all be a little better made.  We will not buy anything Combi again.

I agree with Vivian, our Combi stroller is cheaply made.  I got it before our baby was born and really didn't know what a "good" stroller was, obviously.  It isn't worth the price tag, at all.
