Combi Twin Sport 2 Side by Side Review
This side-by-side model accommodates up to 45 lbs. per seat and features 5-point harnesses, sun canopies, all-wheel suspension, washable seat cushions, and a deep reclining seat for an infant; Combi Twin Sport is compatible with an infant car seat. Experts rate this stroller a best buy for its light weight and easy steering/ease of use; users like that it fits through doorways and shopping aisles despite its side-by-side configuration.
A no-nonsense side-by-side double stroller, Combi's Twin Sport wins praise from many quarters. Celebrity Baby Blog testers appreciate its portability and light 22-pound weight. Combi Twin Sport reviews on Cookie Magazine give it an overall score of 4 out of 5, and point out its value, maneuverability, and practicality. A unique tri-fold design allows the Twin Sport to break down into a compact 17-inch width -- the size of a full-sized single stroller -- for easy stowing. Testers also like the convenient carrying strap and the fact that it stands when folded.
The Twin Sport's seats feature plenty of padding for child comfort, a full recline, independent canopies, and five-point harnesses. Despite its side-by-side configuration, the Twin Sport fits through standard doorways and most store aisles. Note, however, that this model can only accommodate the Combi Shuttle infant car seat, and small plastic wheels and a lack of shock absorption make it better for mall trips than rougher terrain.
Although the featherweight aluminum frame may not hold up to long-term abuse like more substantial strollers, the Twin Sport's sleek profile makes it the perfect traveling companion.
