Combi - Flash EX Stroller Chassis

This is the most amazing stroller, a real gift for travelling parents everywhere! We have the Graco infant carrier/stroller combo, and the stroller is just too cumbersome to travel with (we tried it, ONCE!). We were once again travelling with an infant and bringing our infant carrier, and researched several infant carrier travel strollers before we decided to purchase this one. Avsolutely one of the best decisions we have made. We travelled with four children (two under two years) and breezed through the airport with this stroller and a basic umbrella stroller for the 20 month old. This stroller is fabulous - it is lightweight, super easy to fold down and set up (you can even do it single handed while carrying a baby on your hip), and was easy to fit into the rental vehicle. Gate checking it was easy, and it has a carrying strap that you can pull over your shoulder when carrying it. I simply love this stroller, and have even used it a few times since our return, even when I had the trusty Graco stroller in my truck. It unfolds at the flick of a wrist, and folds up in under five seconds - great when you are juggling children in an airport or in a foreign country. I highly recommend this to any parents, especially if you are flying anywhere. The price was far cheaper than renting a stroller, and worth every single penny. I am a mother of four and I would have to say that this is one of the five best baby-related purchases I have ever made. The only possible downside is that the basket is pretty small and not really easy to access once the carrier is snapped in; I solved this by purchasing a set of stroller clips and hanging my diaper bag off the handle, as well as any shopping bags, etc. The stroller comes with a fabric "compartment" the fits on near the handles, and I was able to carry my wallet, sunglasses, camera, and a bottle of milk in it quite easily. Super great stroller!

This stroller folds up smaller than others in this category, which is why we chose this one ... easier to carry through the airport, etc. It is very lightweight and easy to collapse, and can be expanded with only one hand. Our Graco Snugride clicks in with ease, and is pretty secure even without the additional strap over the feet ... which was not at all incovenient to put on (as I had read in one comment). I really like everything about the stroller. However, we have just returned from our first trip, and first time using the stroller. We gate checked it, but when it was returned to us, one of the back wheels was already broken ... surprise, the airline does NOT cover stroller wheels. The metal axle that holds the wheel on is bent. Apparently, this stroller was not made tough enough to withstand airport stressors. I'm very disappointed as we have several other trips coming up in the next few months and it really made getting around the airport much easier!

If you're looking for an easy to open/close and compact universal car seat stroller, this one is good. The biggest drawback is that the basket is small and difficult to access when the car seat is attached. The brakes are a bit tedious as well as the space to reach them is small, but it's not too bad. It's very compact and quite easy to use. All in all, it's great for everyday outings and for travel.
