I wanted to mention that I had registered for the ultralight Combi that I intended to use once DS was out of his travel system. Even though it would probably be a great stroller for most people, DH and I are very tall (I''m 5''9", he''s 6''3"), and not only did I have to stoop over to push it, but my leg strides were too long - I would trip on the wheels with every step. I ended up using it once and then I gave it to a friend of mine who had a baby - she is 5'' and her husband is 5''8". They really like it, because it''s a better fit for her. We ended up with the McLearen Techno with adjustable height, and love it.Date: 3/1/2010 5:04:30 PM

We have the UppaBaby Vista and a lighter umbrella made by Combi.
The UppaBaby has *awesome* basket storage underneath the seat. A huge plus for new moms: it comes with a bassinet attachment for teeny babies, then converts to a full stroller for bigger babies. I know Sophia''s past the teeny stage, but for anyone else reading...
We use the UppaBaby most of the time. I keep it unfolded in our garage for our daily walks. It''s big, however, so if our car trunk is full, or we''re in a situation where we''d need to carry the stroller around a lot (at the airport, a long trip, etc.) we either take the Combi or go without. The Combi is super light and has a shoulder strap for easy carrying once it''s folded.
So, make sure that you test a stroller for height and stride length before you buy one.
