HATED IT!, September 16, 2006
Reviewer: cg_harden from California

Overall Grade   2.00/10  (2)


Pros: Lightweight, carrying strap
Cons: Horrible steering and very little basket space...

I purchased this stroller after wanting it for a long time. I was VERY dissapointed. I travel a lot and wanted a lightweight stoller and was attracted to the carrying strap. It took one use of this stroller to know how BAD it was. You have to have 2 hands to steer the thing and since there is no cup holder, it is very hard to run through the airport with a cup of coffee. I used this stroller 2 times before getting completely frustrated and buying the Maclaren. I will never own another Combi.

Pros: folds flat, light weight, comfortable
Cons: drink holder, not a smoth ride, tiny basket

All in all, the best stroller I have used so far. It is very light and folds flat. It also has a small frame. It is not east to push. The wheels frequently stick. It is easy to carry around but who wants to get it out if it is hard to use. My baby seems very comfortable in it. I paid 89.95 on ebay for this stroller new. In my opionion,that was overpriced and I didn't even pay retail. There has to be a better stroller out there.

Awesome stroller! The only one you'll ever need!, May 4, 2006

Pros: Super lightweight, easy to fold, turns on a dime
Cons: sun shade only opens/closes--it doesn't rotate 180 degrees

I live in the suburbs, but I'm not a mall crawler. I love to walk in my neighborhood, but it doesn't have sidewalks. I only wanted to buy one stroller, and thanks to previous reviews in BBB, this is it! This stroller is awesome! It's lightweight, and easy to push. I'm 5'7" and the height is very comfortable. I go out in my neigborhood nearly everyday for 2.5 mile walks and there's no sign of wear. My son loves this stroller! It folds very compactly and did I mention it's lightweight?! (only 11 pounds) I see other ladies in my neighborhood laboring with uber-expensive strollers and I don't understand why. The Savvy Soho DX is the best stroller and I recommend it to all of my friends.

I paid 99.99 from Albeebaby.com and the shipping was free! When the stroller arrived, there was a flaw on the fabric of the crotch strap. I called Albee's and they shipped a second stroller immediately! They were terrific!

Great travel stroller! Loved the speakers, used w/ my iPod., March 3, 2006

Overall Grade   9.00/10  (9)


Pros: Lightweight! Easy to fold/open! 5 pt harness sys Reclines.
Cons: No cup holder. Price. Small basket.

Bought this stroller online when we were preparing to travel for the first time. It was on sale so wasn't so painful to buy two ( I have twins) . I am very pleased with this stroller for travel and for crowded places. I really love the speakers that came with it, I attach my iPod and DH attaches his to the other. DSx2 love their individual strollers and gnaw on the soft crossbar all of the time. Other great features include: a 5 pt harness system which made my decision to buy easier. A carrying bag. A shoulder strap. Very nice.

I gave it an A- only because of the price, I found similar strollers for half as much since.

Beware parents - Handles break!, March 1, 2006
Reviewer: deliaschneider from Paris, France

Overall Grade   1.00/10  (1)


Pros: Lightweight, comfy padding, useful pockets
Cons: Handles break. Hard to manouver. Bad warranty.

Dear Parents, I have been a lover of Combi strollers since our son was born in Jan, 2004. First we had the high end bells and whistles stroller. Lightweight, acoustic canopy, good size basket, comfy padding, etc. The handle broke 13 months after purchase. After some debate with Combi, they decided to replace it with a reburbished product providing that I would pay shipping. I was without a stroller for 6 weeks but happy to pay $18 to get back my $299 stoller back. I was so happy that I bought 2 more. This time the Soho, one for us and one for our neighbors as a present. Same reasons, lightweight, small footprint, etc. This was last May. It is now February and our stroller handle breaks again! They redesigned the handles so we thought this would not happen. Wrong. This time under warranty I called, was treated horribly, and they won't cover me at all since we no longer live in USA. Buyers beware, if you take the stroller outside of the USA, your warranty is no longer valid!!! I was not expecting them to ship the product to France, only to replace it and send it to our US address.

Now, if you thought of buying this lightweight stroller because you travel as much as we do, think about it twice!

I promised myself I would let everyone know about this. We went from being Combi's most loyal fans to McClaren fans in a matter of seconds. Now we know why everyone buys McClaren. Too bad.
