- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy.

This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]

Review by W. Sager for Combi Cosmo 2010 Lightweight Stroller, Jade
Rating:
I bought this back in late January, 2008 and have had mixed results. Reading the other reviews, here are my thoughts after 5 months of use…
“My daughter is only 27 pounds and I have to use both hands to push otherwise I can’t steer straight and run in to things/people,”
I have not encountered this problem at all. The stroller pushes easily. My son loves pushing it himself. My son turns 2 tomorrow, and can easily push his 60 pound sister when she climbs into the stroller. (Stroller is not meant to hold that much weight, so don’t let heavier children do this!)
“have a hard time moving the stroller from a stopped position to maneuver around corners slowly (such as shopping in a mall store or getting on and off elevators)”
Yes, I have this problem – that’s because the front wheels are damaged! That’s my biggest complaint, the front wheels easily damage when folding this stroller. I have to replace the front wheels as we speak!
“and the bottom basket is completely useless.”
There’s about enough room to place your child’s lightweight jacket in the basket – convenient when shopping, but the basket can’t hold much else. And yes, it is very inconvenient to access.
“Also, I have the hardest time getting over cracks in sidewalks if the surface difference is more than an inch–the stroller comes to a whip-lash type stop and then I have to raise the front wheels over it”
Guess I’m just used to tilting strollers, but haven’t had any problems with cracks in the sidewalk.
However, my stroller has had a few problems pushing as the cheap plastic wheel casings cracked, thus the wheeels wobble, rather than roll smoothly. I’m afraid the will completely break off soon, thus the need to replace the wheels. The wheels should last longer than 5 months of light use.
“Forget strollering on grass or anything uneven”
My soon to be 2 year old son has no problems pushing the stroller in the grass – that is until the front wheels cracked. Now it is a problem, hence the need to replaced the front wheels (both sides)
“Don’t forget…no cup holder for mom–so try not to spill your coffee while struggling to push through the mall–and no snack tray for baby either.”
I’m sorry, but anyone looking at the photo of the stroller or reading the description can easily see this. If the cup holder/snack tray are that important to you, then don’t purchase this stroller!
“and you think you’ll be carrying the stroller on your back with the tri-fold option”
VERY convenient for those who live in apartments and must carry the stroller up and down several flights of stairs on a daily basis. One word of caution. Unless you are about 6′ tall, this stroller will bang on each step if carrying on your back, as you walk down stairs.
The full recline feature is GREAT!! My son can easily nap in the stroller while shopping, relaxing in the park, etc. Even put him in the stroller at night sometimes when he’s fussy. Walk him around the apartment in the recline position and in a few minutes he’s fast asleep.
Overall, I give it 3 stars. I would have rated it higher if the wheels were higher quality. The wheel casing should not have cracked so quickly.

Before a trip to San Francisco, I began the hunt for a lightweight stroller that would work in the airport and walking the streets of San Fran. I tried out many strollers but decided on this one because:
1. REALLY lightweight. Some “lightweight” strollers were still fairly heavy.
2. Fully reclines. In case we were out and about during nap time, I knew my daughter may be able to still catch some zzzzz.
3. Folds up easily and fairly compact. Must use 2 hands though.
4. Can be used with a car seat. If I had known this, I would have bypassed the Snap N Go and just bought this from the beginning!
5. Great for tall folks. I’m 5’9 and my husband is 6 so I knew we needed something that would accomodate taller heights.
Draw backs:
1. The basket. This never bothered me because I hang my diaper bag off of the back of the stroller anyway.
2. No cup holder or any fancy extras for the parents. There is a cup holder for the child.
Overall, I LOVE this stroller.

This stroller has many pros but Im not sure if the pros will out weigh the cons. I originally posted a better review of this stroller, but I felt obliged to edit it. I love this stroller for its lightweightness(if that’s a word) and convenience. Also, I love that it reclines very easily unlike some expensive European stollers we looked at. I love that once it is folded how compact it is. And that it stands up on its own, YEAH! I love the strap in the back and that you can just throw it over your shoulder like those compact lawn chairs, and carry the baby on a different or same arm. I also, like that I dont bump my feet on the back of the stroller while walking because the bar is high enough for me(average height) and my taller husband. I also love the style, I bought the Wasabi, because with my daughter I didnt want something too girlie girl, this was perfect!
Ok, so now for the cons…
I do have to say that I dont like the way it folds, I do agree with another reviewer that stated that it should have a one hand fold. I also, HATE the wheels. It is very hard to manuever and I get really frustrating trying to push it with one hand-its impossible! I also do not like the brakes, you are unable to place the locks on with your foot you have to bend over and do it with your hand, which can be very annoying.
I hope this review helped. Like I said the stroller has a lot of pros but for me personally the cons are outweighing the pros and I think Im gonna look for something else.

I agree with the other posts that it is extremely difficult to steer. It is being used for a lightweight one year old and yet it still difficult to maneuver. The front wheels buckle easily and unless you have momentum they do not roll over anything except very smooth pavement. Even minor seams in pavement can stop it and make you have to lift the front wheels in order to get over it. If you ever want to use it off of pavement forget it. We got it back in nov. 2008 and two of the front four wheels are already broken. It does fold up rather small, but it requires both hands and takes time as the wheels have to be just right in order to fold it. Also the basket must be completely empty prior to folding it up even in half. This just adds more time to folding it up when you really just want to throw it into the back of the car.
We inherited an old cheap umbrella stroller that works just as well, folds up smaller and is much more solid. The only part that is better with the Combi stroller is that the handle is higher up making it easier on the back.

This stroller is impossible to steer. The wheels turn independently and end up pointing in all different directions. Impossible to steer with one hand, very difficult with two-this is empty. If you actually put a child in it (mine is 30 lbs) it is impossible to steer in any condition. The basket is ridiculously small and inaccessible. If my kid leans just a little bit to one side, the entire stroller starts leaning over. It’s really flimsy. Waste of money and useless stroller. Extremely disappointed! I hope I can save someone money with this review…I will feel a little better … maybe my purpose in buying this stroller is to stop a whole bunch of other people from buying it.
