combi stroller

anyone have a combi lightweight stroller? I was looking into either a combi or a chicco liteway.  I see mixed reviews on both.  Any advice?

I have a double combi. I like that its very lightweight and compact. I wish the visors were a little bigger. After a couple of years, the straps are coming apart (I've abused that thing).

We have the Combi Cosmo and have been very happy with it.

I had a lightweight Combi base for DD's first stroller.  I LOVED it.  It attached to DD's Graco car seat very easily, so when we strolled she was facing me.  That was nice when she was a baby.

I took her strolling every single day of her first year, until she outgrew the car seat.  When usually walked at least a mile up to 3 miles.  It really withstood the Chicago winter slushy and snowy streets well.  It was so easy to take apart, stow, and reassemble, which I had to do a lot to get on public transportation.

I also could fit a good amount of groceries in the basket underneath the seat.

Don't know if they're still the same 4 years later, but I highly recommend one based on my experience!

I don't know anything about the Combi, but we got a Chicco Liteway and returned it the next day.  The back wheels were really close together and I kept kicking them with my feet.  It was also really hard to get things in and out of the basket because of how the back of the stroller is built.  I loved the steering on it, but that was about all I liked.

I had a combi for a few years and I am not a fan.  I traded it in at the last BRU event. 

We bought it as a travel stroller because it is very lightweight and compact.  It served its purpose as a travel stroller but I would not recommend it for regular use.  It is very flimsy.  When my DS was buckled in he could still stand up because he could pull the back forward.  It's also difficult to steer.  When they're younger it's not too bad but as they get heavier it gets harder to steer.

What did you get instead?
