I'm just started making and wearing my dd (2) on my back with Mei Tai's and she loves it. They are great for short trips and all but I want to have a lightweight stroller for when we go to malls and all. We do have a Graco Quattro Tour stroller but it's so heavy and so bulky to use that I don't like using it. I did have a regular umbrella stroller (cheap ones from Wal-mart) but it was a pain to fold and everything.

I have been looking at the Combi Savvy Soho Stroller lately or just a Combi Stroller that would be lightweight for me to use when we travel or when we go to the mall.

If anyone has this and likes it please let me know. Thank you in advance.

I have one.

Things I like about it:
- It's lightweight and folds up compactly. When it's folded up it has a shoulder strap, so you can take the stroller up a flight of stairs and still have both hands free to carry your child. It also comes with a storage bag, which is great for flying - it prevents the stroller from catching on something in the cargo hold and getting damaged.

- It is easily maneuverable and has a tight turning radius. It's easy to move around in a shop with narrow aisles, or on a crowded street.

- Seat reclines easily and smoothly. A few times my daughter has fallen asleep when we took a walk too close to naptime, and when we got home I was easily able to recline the seat almost to horizontal, without disturbing her, so she could finish her nap in the stroller.

- It was much less expensive than other, similar strollers.

Things I don't like about it:
- Basket is small and hard to access. You can fit a few groceries or library books into it, but not (for example) a big bulky diaper bag.

- Doesn't come with extras that would be really handy, like a rain fly or a large boot. This probably doesn't make a difference if you're planning to keep it in your trunk and use it for trips to the mall, but we live in the city and use it for basic transportation.

Thank you so much. I am really thinking about getting one now beause I want like I said something to keep in the trunk and we are also planning on going to Disney world maybe this winter so it will be good for us to carry with us. Where did you purchase yours from? We live about 45 minutes away from any good stores. Thanks...

We have one. I really like it. It's gotten a lot of use and abuse in the last few years and still looks great, works great. My 5yo's still like to ride in it.

It's definitely a mall stroller, especially for the older dc. It doesn't handle bumps well! We took ours to Disney and it worked fine there. The basket is a joke, but we've managed. I usually loop my diaper bag over the handle bar, behind the canopy.

I think it's a great little stroller.
