Summary: Urban Walker
July 24th, 2009

I bought Urban Walker as a second stroller as the first one was getting a bit too small for my baby.

I love Urban Walker because...

1. Ease of use

It is extremely easy to fold/open the stroller even when you have only one hand available.  It only takes one or two seconds to fold it.  Manoeuvrability is also excellent for its comparatively small wheel size.   When folded, it can stand on its own so it never gets dirty by being laid down on the ground/floor/etc.  In the collapsed state, you can simply tag it along behind you on its wheels while walking, no need to carry it by shoulder harness.  It is very compact when folded and comes with a useful, big shopping basket.  You only need a small storage place.

2. Lightweight

It is very light (6.2kg) in comparison with other prams/strollers, yet the body is very sturdy.  There is no need to struggle to place it in the car boot.  I have not used it long enough, but because of its sturdy frame, I think it will last for a long, long time.

3. Comfort

It has a huge canopy that covers 180 degrees, meaning the baby is totally covered when the canopy is down all the way.  This of course protects the baby from sun and wind; in addition, it becomes a privacy cover when the baby is asleep.  There is no need to cover the stroller with a blanket to avoid distraction when the baby is asleep.  If you are worried about not being able to see the baby, there is a small window on the canopy to check on the baby.  Seat cover is very soft, comfortable and dries up quickly when washed.  It is quite wide and long, so even grown up babies can fit in comfortably (can support up to 20kg).   Another great feature is that the seatback can be reclined in any degree you prefer, up to 170 degrees.  The seatback of many buggies for toddler use does not fall back at all, but this feature is great when baby is asleep as it allows the baby to maintain the correct posture.

4. Great looks

It comes in three great colours.  The design is really attractive and eye-catching.  It is very fashionable for a stroller.

I only wish that there were accesories such as travel bags and rain covers available...

I can highly recommend this stroller to anyone - it is just EXCELLENT!  I am so glad that Urban Walker is now available for purchase in Australia.  Combi is a great Japanese brand with smart technology.  I am certain people who choose to buy any Combi products will be extremely pleased with their decision, just like me!

Summary: PERFECT FOR THE CAR
July 24th, 2009

I purchased the Urban Walker after becoming frustrated with my huge designer pram.  I found it so heavy and stressful to get in and out of the car or navigate small shops.  So I researched to find a better solution for me and found Combi. 

The Urban Walker has changed my life.  I keep it in the car and can whip it in and out easily.  It is so light and simple to use.  Not to mention my baby loves it!

MY FAVOURITE FEATURES:

1. The hood that completely covers my baby when she sleeps, when the sun is in her eyes, in a light shower.  This is a brilliant feature.  I see other mums with blankets over prams that fly off, scrambling for the UV shade when the sun comes out and I have both.  The hood is a very clever design. 

2. The quick one handed fold down and set up.... fab!

3. Great harness and easy clean fabric.

4. Huge shopping basket.

The Urban Walker is a stroller so probably not the best for jogging etc but as a stroller for the car it is fantastic.  Great for the shopping centre or strip shops... I can even wheel it one handed no problem. 

I would definately recommend this to all parents who use the car regularly.  My baby loves it and feels secure and comfortable.  She sleeps well due to the reclining seat and hood and its tiny frame allows me to zip in and out of shops easily. 

I have just heard a foot muff is now avail which will be great as my baby has just started kicking her blankets off. 

This stroller is well designed and practicle.  An excellent product.

Summary: The best stroller on the market!
July 9th, 2009
Awesome: the only word I can use to describe the Combi Urban Walker! As a mother having another child I vowed not to make the same mistake I did with my first bundle of joy and have a huge heavy stroller. I wanted something practical, trust worthy and of course, stylish! After weeks of research via internet, friends, and stores the only answer was the Combi! Being an engineer, my husband examined the stroller for durability and functionality, the result was ‘get one’! I recommend this product to all mothers who are in need of an awesome stroller (that’s all of you)!

Summary: Lightweight & funky
July 2nd, 2009
I heard about Combi stroller from a friend of mine who had visited Japan but didn't know they were here. I had a demo in store and ended up buying one! I was sold because they are incredibly lightweight and really easy to open and close and best of all have a reverse handle. ( I also loved the funky colour). Definitely worth looking at if you are sick and tired of dragging around a big heavy pram.
