Customer Review: I return it
The product arrived pretty quick. It's very lightweight and compact but it's not stirdy. The seating area is too small and not deep enough for my boy. He is only 12 month (27LB and 30" long). No way he can sleep in there without his legs hang out too far.
I thought I want to have something that can handle my boy till 3 year old. The plastic wheels are flimpsy. They turn easy but not the direction you want to go so I return it.

Customer Review: Love the features, but won't last past first kid
I love the features on this stroller, especially for the price. I love how it opens and folds up, the amazing recline, the basket, and great sun shade. The parent's organizer isn't the best, but hey, it came with one. Unfortunately, after three weeks of normal use (and I would go as far as to say light use) the front right wheel became very wobbly. I went back to Babies R Us to exchange it for another Combi, but when I asked the manager about how long another new Combi would last, he informed me it would not make it past my first child. If you drive it around, you can just tell. So for the price, it is cheaper to buy a Maclaren in the long run. I miss my Combi, but despite the Maclaren Triumph's cons (it really is not the easiest to close and the recline is horrible), it's the better financial choice. Especially with a 20% off coupon. Everything about the Maclaren is much sturdier, especially the wheels.
