Combi Single Stroller Review
With a classic umbrella fold and sleek aluminum frame, this stroller comes with a affordable price. It has a cupholder for parents along with a large basket, as well as a canopy pockets for all the essentials.
The stroller bends when it is it is pushed, especially on rough surfaces. This could be a problem when you are a parent on the go and need to use your stroller frequently.
Features
Combi strollers make it easier and more enjoyable to care for your children. They are simple to use, light and stylish. These strollers also come with a variety of safety features including 3-point and 5 point harnesses, reversible handles, large canopy and adjustable suspension. Some also have cups for parents and an enormous basket.
The Cosmo is the Combi's most popular stroller that can also fit carseats. The stroller did not perform well in the stroller-and car seat compatibility test. The other models from CR such as the Flare and the Shuttle have received more favorable reviews online.
This stroller's easy-to-fold feature is one of its most impressive features. It folds in only three steps and it doesn't require you to bend over. It is easy to maneuver, and can be used on different terrains. It comes with a large umbrella that shields your child from harsh conditions like sun and wind.
The frame is made of steel which makes it durable. The wheels are made from a special material which absorbs road bumps and shocks. It also features the highest seat, which is 53cm tall, which helps keep your child off the ground and to avoid contact with dirt and other allergens. The Combi Stroller also has a parent cupholder and a large storage basket.
The Cosmo scored well in manoeuvrability and stability tests, but was unable to compete in our head-tohead comparisons with top performers like the Cougar 2. In the test for sideways tipping it was able to hold its own with scores of 33 degrees, but was not as close as the top scores in this metric. This metric is aided by the front-lock swivel wheel as well as suspension. A single step brake pedal locks both rear wheels, which is helpful in tight spaces and improves the maneuverability. Available in a wide range of colors, you can find it at many department stores and chain baby stores and independent stores.
Design
The initial look of this stroller is good and its unique fold is appealing but that's where the positives come to an end. In tests, it did not perform like its competitors and didn't offer anything exceptional in its place. It only holds one car seat, which means it's not a great option for twins. The padding is also lacking for a comfortable ride. It's heavy, clumsy and difficult to move around. While it does have storage space, it's tiny and hard to access.
The frame of the Combi Twin Cosmo has many parts and connection points, making it appear less expensive than its rivals which have frames that are made of smaller pieces that are welded, instead of riveted. The backs of the seats don't lie flat against the frame when collapsed. It has a decent weight capacity and it is a little more easy to load into a trunk than some of its competitors but the bulk could pose a problem for public transportation as it's likely not to be able to conform to any 2'X4' regulations that are in place.
Despite its size and weight despite its size and weight, the Combi Twin Cosmo earned a reasonable score in our test of maneuverability. It took 25 pounds to tip the Combi Twin Cosmo backwards which is higher than the majority competition. However, it isn't the top performers in this test which is the Chariot Cougar 2
It has a good front wheel suspension. Its wide rear wheels are lockable to enhance maneuverability. The brake pedal that is single step locks and unlocks both rear wheels at the same time which is ideal for parking in tight spaces and parking. A cup holder for the parent along with a large basket, and canopy pocket provide storage space however this is not much in comparison to other items.
The canopy includes a small storage space on the back, however it's too low to hold larger items such as diaper bags or grocery bags. Two cup holders are included, but they are too close together to be useful for sharing drinks. The canopy offers adequate sun protection with a three-panel sunshade blocking over 99 percent UV radiation.
Comfort
One of the most important features of strollers is the capacity to sit children in a comfortable place. This stroller features the option of reclining seats with a large canopy that extends to the back of the seats. The canopy also features an adult cup holder and additional storage. This stroller has an adjustable telescoping bar that allows for easy maneuvering, and can be parked in tight spots.
This stroller scored high in our quality metric but it did not impress in any of the other categories. It had the most flexible frame when it was pushed, and its connection points are made of plastic instead of soft materials like other strollers. There was plenty of movement in the wheels, which could make it hard to use on uneven surfaces.
It is a good vehicle for maneuvering, however this is offset by its weight and size. It took more force to push it and this might be a challenge for parents with smaller children to manage on a regular basis. It is easy to maneuver through narrow doors and aisles, but it could be difficult to fit in an elevator that is full of people.
The storage under the seat is a bit small and disappointed testers. It was difficult to access and there is a bar in the middle of this space that prevents larger items from being able to fit. A diaper bag filled with two children's supplies was not able to fit and the standard size purse may be a problem in the storage space. The extra pockets on the canopy are a nice feature however they don't make up for this poor storage option underneath the seat.
The unique fold and carry strap makes it a fantastic choice for transporting to and from public transportation but the size of the stroller can make it difficult to fit on trains and buses that are crowded without causing harm to innocent bystanders. This stroller is ideally suited for commuters, who can easily transport it in their car. It is lightweight enough to carry it up stairs and down escalators but it would have to be collapsed to take on a train or bus.
Safety
The Combi Fold N Go Stroller is compact and lightweight, with convenient features. single person buggy comes with an adjustable seat for your child, plush harness pads to ensure their safety and comfort, as well as a huge canopy that blocks out the sun and additional storage. Its dual front wheel suspension as well as locking front swivel wheels ensure a smooth ride, while allowing air to flow freely through and out of the seating space. The cup holder on the back of the parent large basket, as well as the adjustable handlebar allow you to customize the stroller to your preference level.
This stroller received a very high score in our tests of ease of use. CR testers liked the fact that the stroller folds in just three steps, without bending over, it's light and narrow enough to slide through doorways and also features a simple-to-use locking brake system. The stroller comes with small leg openings that prevent infants from sliding through. It is also simple to steer. These are all essential factors when it comes to a stroller, however it is equally important that the child be safely secured in the car seat. You should choose a stroller which can be folded and unfolded easily, parked, and secured with a car seat.
If the stroller is reclined, always remember to secure the child's safety belt and close the gap between the seatback and the grab bar. This will stop your child from climbing up and becoming a strangulation or a fall risk. Keep purses and diaper bags away the stroller handles to prevent getting caught in. This will also reduce the possibility that the bag will tip over. Registering your stroller with the manufacturer will allow you to be notified if there are any recalls.
A single stroller with a combi is a great choice for parents who plan to travel or do errands frequently with their toddler and infant. It can be folded up and stored in your trunk or in a closet, until you need it again. It can also be carried by hand for easier transport if you need to get from point A to B in a hurry.
