Combi Single Stroller Review
With a traditional umbrella fold and a sleek aluminum frame this stroller comes with a very low price tag. It also features an adult cup holder, large basket and canopy pocket to hold all your essentials.
The stroller flexes a lot when pushed, particularly on rough surfaces. This can be a problem for parents who are on the move who wish to utilize their stroller on a regular basis.
Features
Combi strollers are designed to make the care of children more enjoyable and less stressful. They are easy to use, light and stylish. They also have a number of safety features, such as 3-point and 5-point harnesses, reversible handle, a large canopy, and a suspension that can be adjusted. Some models have a cupholder for the parent and a large storage basket.
The Cosmo is Combi’s flagship and can fit a child car seat. It did not fare well in the traditional stroller and car seat compatibility tests however. The other models that the company offers, the Flare and the Shuttle have received better reviews on the internet.
Its ability to fold is one of its most impressive features. It folds in just three steps, and it doesn’t need you to bend over. It is also easy to maneuver and can be used on different types of terrain. It comes with an umbrella that shields your child from harsh weather conditions like wind and sun.
The frame is constructed of steel which makes it extremely robust. The wheels are made of a special material that absorbs road bumps and shocks. The 53cm high seat keeps your baby off the ground, preventing contact with dirt or allergens. The Combi Stroller comes with an adult cupholder as well as a large storage basket.
The Cosmo scored well in the stability and manoeuvrability tests, but was unable to compete in head-tohead competitions with top performers like the Cougar 2. It was capable of competing in the tilting test that is sideways, with a score of 33 degrees, but it wasn’t quite enough to the top scores. This test is made easier by the front-lock swivel wheel and suspension. The brake pedal is single-step and locks the rear wheels. This is useful for tight spaces, and improves maneuverability. It’s available in a variety of colors and is available at many department stores, chain stores and even independent baby shops.
Design
The initial look of this stroller is nice and its unique folding mechanism is fascinating but that’s it. In tests, it didn’t perform better than its competitors and offered little in return. It can only fit one car seat, which means it’s not the ideal choice for twins. The padding is lacking for a comfortable ride. It’s heavy and awkward to maneuver, and although it has storage, it’s a bit tinny and difficult to access.
The frame of the Combi Twin Cosmo has many parts and connections, making it appear less expensive than its rivals who have frames with fewer pieces that are welded, instead of riveted. The backs of the seats aren’t flat against the frame when collapsed. It has a decent capacity for weight and it is a little easier to load into a trunk than some of its competitors, however the size might cause issues with public transport since it’s not compatible with any rules for 2’X4′ that apply in the area.
The Combi Twin Cosmo scored well in our tests of maneuverability despite its size and bulk. It took 25 pounds to tip the Combi Twin Cosmo backwards which is more than the majority of the competitors. However, it isn’t the top performer in this metric: the Chariot Cougar 2
The rear wheels with wide tires can be locked to enhance maneuverability. The brake pedal lock and unlocks the rear wheels simultaneously, which is great for parking in tight spots. A parent cup holder, large basket and canopy pocket offer storage space but this is minimal in comparison to other items.
There is an incredibly small storage compartment on the back of the canopy but it’s too low to be useful for storing larger items like diaper bags or groceries. There are two cup holders but they’re too close to be useful to share drinks. The canopy offers decent sun protection by using a three panels of sunshade, which block over 99 percent of UV rays.
Comfort
Strollers are designed to allow children to sit comfortably and upright position. This stroller has an adjustable seat that reclines and a huge canopy that extends to the back. The canopy also has an adult cup holder and additional storage. This stroller features an adjustable bar that can be telescopically moved for effortless maneuvering, and can be parked in tight spaces.
The stroller scored well in our quality metric however it didn’t stand out in the other categories. It had the highest flexible frame when it was being pushed. Its connection points are made of plastic instead of a softer product like other strollers. The wheels were very flexible and may be difficult to maneuver on uneven surfaces.
It’s a decent size and weight but its maneuverability is compromised. It took more effort to push and this can be difficult for parents with smaller children to manage on a daily basis. It is able to move through narrow aisles and doors with ease, but it may be difficult to squeeze it into an elevator that is crowded.
The storage under the seat was a disappointment for the test participants. It was hard to access and there is a bar in the middle of this area that keeps larger items from fitting. Even the standard size of a purse could not fit in this area. A diaper bag with two items for children did not fit. The extra pockets on the canopy are a nice addition however they don’t provide the needed storage option under the seat.
The stroller’s unique fold-and- carry strap makes it an excellent option for transporting it to and from public transport. However, the bulky stroller could make it difficult to fit into crowded buses and train cars without causing injury to innocent bystanders. This stroller might be best lightweight single stroller for commuters who are able to easily transport it in their cars. It’s light enough to be carried up and down escalators. However, it would have to be folded down to carry buses or trains.
Safety
The Combi Fold N Go stroller offers convenient features and a lightweight, compact design. It includes a reclining seat with soft harness pads for your baby’s safety and comfort and a huge canopy to block out the sun and an additional storage space. Its dual front wheel suspension as well as lockable front swivel wheels help ensure a smooth ride while allowing air to flow easily through and out of the seating space. The cup holder on the back of the parent large basket, the adjustable handlebar let you adjust the stroller to your preference level.
This stroller received a excellent score in our user-friendliness tests. The CR testers loved the feature that it folds down in only three steps, is lightweight, slim enough to fit in doors, and features a brake lock that is simple to use. The stroller has small leg openings to prevent infants slipping through. It is also easy to navigate. These are all crucial aspects to consider when choosing a stroller, however it’s also crucial that your child is securely secured in the car seat. That’s why it is important to choose a stroller that can fold, unfold and then parked by attaching the car seat without the need for complicated steps or tools.
If the stroller is reclined, always remember to attach the child’s safety belt and close the gap between the seatback and grab bar. This will prevent your child from climbing up and becoming a strangulation or a fall danger. Also, be sure to keep bags for diapers or purses away from the handles of the stroller to prevent entanglement and decrease the risk of falling over. Registering your stroller with the manufacturer will permit you to be informed in the event that there are any recalls.

It’s lightweight and compact when folded, which means it can be easily stored in your trunk or closet until you need to use it again. It can also be carried by hand for easier transport if you need to get from point A to B quickly.
