Combi Helio DX Lightweight Stroller in Ember/Wasabi

Combi Helio DX Lightweight Stroller in Ember/Wasabi

Buy this stroller!!!

After using a wide array of strollers, we think this one really is the best. It has all the features we USE and NEED without all the bulk and weight of a traditional stroller. It folds up easily and barely takes up more room than the cheap, ten-dollar umbrella strollers. It only weighs thirteen pounds, and with the carrying strap on the back, it's amazingly easy to get in and out of the trunk. Opening it is a snap, it sort of opens on its own without any effort. The included bag is nice, I have a toddler so all I carry is a changing kit, Purell and some bandages w/ointment and hand/face wipes, all of which fit perfectly and either stows in the basket underneath or hangs from attachment points near the handle. Not having a parent's tray was no biggie for me, I added some accessories Click 'n Go Stroller Cup Holder, and Convenient Hook 'n Go 2 Packto attach if I need them. The handle of this stroller is taller than most, despite its compact fold, making it comfortable to push. I love that the child bar has a cupholder and another for a snack or small toy and opens on both sides or can be removed completely (for washing). The ENTIRE seat cushion comes off easily, to throw into the wash. The whole area around the child is roomier and more comfortable for my son, he likes to sit back and rest his feet up on the bumper bar. I really think this is excellent for the features and price, I only wish I'd bought one sooner.

Lightweight but cannot carry much stuff

it is indeed very lightweight stroller. the basket under it is TOO small to fit anything. i suggest to buy hook which could be attached to the handle in order to hang things

MADE IN CHINA

I bought this stroller believing I was purchasing a stroller from an American subsidiary of a European company since they advertise as "Combi, USA". I was beyond disappointed when the stroller came and the box read "Made in China". Shame on one more company for going to the dark side. I've since purchased a Peg Perego P3, on sale here at Amazon for $179, to replace the Combi, I did give the product 2 stars because the stroller works well and was easy to put together. I'm just extremely disappointed at having sent one more dollar to that ruthless government.

HELIO EMBER/WASABI

The stroller lived up mostly to my expectations.Except the swivel wheels dont swivel so great. Otherwise I liked the cushioning and the lightness of the product.

Combi Helio - Great Stroller!

Great stroller. Everything we needed in a lightweight. Closing it is a bit stiff, but once you get the hang of it it's great. Cupholder for the parent would be nice. Harness pads to keep the little one from chafing also would be nice.
