I posted this on the toddler board, but realized it should have been here...
After 4 1/2 years with a Combi 6100 Convenience stroller I snapped the handle off by mistake. We need advice on a new stroller but here is my situation. Don't really use a stroller much, a few times a month. Don't want to spend a lot of money (of course)!! Would like an adjustable handle like the Combi, I'm 5.2 dh is 6.2. Want one that is lightweight, but not an umbrella, dh sometimes needs the stroller for help walking, so a flimsy umbrella one wouldn't work. DD#2 is 18 months old now, so I don't need one with a car seat. Would like one with a basket, easy to push and folds up easily. I called Combi to see if they would do anything for me and they would sell me, at a 50% discount, either a Tetra or Savona but I don't need one for a car seat and those are what they consider "comparable" to a Convenience. I'm considering the Savona but now that I've looked online and found different ones, the Savona isn't really lightweight. I would consider buying one at a consignment store if it was what I needed, so if you have advice on a model that is a year or two old, please let me know. The Convenience really fulfilled my needs and would love to find a similar one. I'm not a stroller collector, we only have one other, a baby trend jogger, so it was overwhelming when I started to look at all the different options out there!!! Thanks for your help!!
