Combi Miracle Turn DX review by andsb80

I purchased the pram after seeing the video that the company put on youtube to show the features of the pram. As I am quite petite I was looking for a light-weight, easy-to-fold stroller and in the video it seemed it was everything I was looking for! Though I am mostly satisfied with my stroller, after using it for several months now, I have to say there are a number of not-so-good things about this stroller.

It is very light-weight, I can even carry my baby in one arm (8kgs) and carry the folded stroller in the other should need arise. Small when folded, great for smaller boot space. Quick and simple to change from forward to rear-facing (but be careful not to crush your baby's finger in the click!)

It is very easy to unfold, but can be quite fiddly to fold as it has to be locked in half after folding it. (So effectively it is not possible to fold it with one hand.) Also it isn't the stroller for taller parents, as the handle is quite low and not adjustable. I'm okay with the handle myself but my husband (185cm) finds it really difficult to bend down and push. In reverse the handle gets even lower and it's impossible for him to push it without kicking the wheels.

I mostly use the stroller for a short trip to shopping centres. It is the most compact, smoothest stroller in the shopping centres, but for the trip to and from there it isn't so good. The small wheels get stuck at the smallest bumps on the roads.

I searched online for reviews ect and they came up pretty good, so i brought the pram for its easy fold, light weight, reversable handle and large sun shade. All these are fantastic although you can not fold the pram with one hand as stated.
The worst part of the pram is it is so hard to push, my feet keep hitting the wheels and that is forwad faceing. Rear faceing, i can not push at all as its hard to manuver and i have to walk to the side of the pram or im stepping on the wheels. The pram tips forwad at every little bump as the wheels cant go over it. It even stops at the gaps in the walking foot paths. My children age 7, 10 and 13 have trouble pushing it rear faceing too. This pram is only good for a shopping centre forwad faceing only which therefore, there is no need for such a large sun shade as you cant push the pram comfortably outside. Certainly not worth $500. I got mine on special for $250 and thats still too much for this pram. You can even fit nappy bag on the handle bars. The only thing you can fit in th tiny hard to get basket is your purse (not bag, only purse) and the rain cover it comes with. I am so disapionted in this pram. Cant even go for a walk out side on the foot path without nearly tipping baby out. Prams seat is allso ver squasy. It wont fit a toddler in there comfortable. I just want to cry waisting my money all because i needed something rear faceing and small to fold to fit in my car.

My daughter takes the trophy for the most energetic baby in the family. ,cannot hold still, especially not in strollers. But as the name says, the Combi Miracle has performed a miracle as she has never slept so long in a stroller great, compact and well-priced, let's hope it lasts. One tip: improve the wheels as it can get bumpy at times, otherwise great product!
