Combi Flare

Evenflo X Sport

The Evenflo X Sport Stroller has a bi-fold frame, storage basket, and a fabric console with two cup holders and a concealable storage area. The seat includes mesh for better air circulation. The stroller has a removable, adjustable canopy and is recommended for children up to 40 pounds (18.1kg).

Combi Flare

A lightweight portable stroller with a compact tri-fold design. It weighs only 11.6 pounds, but will hold up to 55 pounds. Designed for taller parents, reclining seat, and many more features.

Accessories

The Evenflo X Sport has ample room in the good sized underneath basket. Still, for some users it was too small and they found it difficult to get things in and out of it. The cup holders and zipper pouch are very good as long as you don't try to put large drink cups in the cup holders. The sunshade is good value.
The basket underneath the Combi Flare is small but comfortable enough for small items. The cup holder is small but very functional, and the zipped compartment is quite roomy. The sun shade is great, sturdy and locks well in place. The front bar is removable and that is very helpful. You may purchase extra stuff holder for the stroller. It does not tip the stroller over. The cup holder for the child is very good. There are many accessories available from different manufacturers.

Adult Comfort

The handles on this stroller are not adjustable, and as a result the stroller is not very comfortable for persons over 5'3 (160cm). Taller persons usually kick the back wheels while pushing the stroller. This stroller rides very smoothly and has great steering which makes it able to turn on a dime. In some cases the cup holder may tip out, and the stroller may flip if bags are hung on the handles when no child sits inside.
The Combi Flare steers nice and smoothly and the back wheels are easy to lock. The carrying strap is a nice, helpful feature. The front wheels do not rotate as easily as other strollers. The stroller is usually good for people between 5'8 (172.7m) and 6'1 (185.4m) as the handles are tall and they don't kick the wheels when pushing it. The stroller is stable and able to hold the weight of a heavy bag on the back even when no child is sitting inside. The wheels work usually well on gravel paths, city sidewalks, and grass. Almost all users had no difficulties pushing the stroller outside.

Child age and weight

Evenflo suggests that the stroller holds children up to 40lbs (18.1kg).
The Combi Flare manufacturer promises that it will hold up to 55 lbs (25kg).

Low Cost

The Evenflo X Sport is usually cheap.
The Combi Flare is usually not expensive.

Easy Folding and Carrying

The Evenflo X Sport is very easy to fold and unfold, but not that easy to do it single-handedly. It doesn't take up much space when folded.
The Combi Flare is light and easily portable, as it has a helpful, convenient carrying strap. It folds up small and is very easy to load or unload from cars and buses, but does not fold very well if the basket contains items.

Security and Comfort

Children are usually comfortable in the Evenflo X Sport, although for some the backing is too soft, and they may sink when they fall asleep. This is truer for younger children. Older children are reported to love this stroller even though the seat does not recline. The harness is 3 point and not 5, which is considered less safe. The canopy is adjustable and the sun is therefore never in the children's face.
The Combi Flare is narrow and may not be a good fit for larger children. However, is stable and will not tip over with a heavy bag on the handles and no baby inside. Children find the cup holder very comfortable. For most children the stroller's seat reclines enough for to nap comfortably. Sometimes the stroller jolts the children when encountering a bump in the road. Also in one case a mother complained that her baby's fingers were pinched under the front bar because of the way the frame is constructed (this can probably happen in many strollers). The sunshade is very good for the children.

Lightweight

The Evenflo X Sport weighs 9.6lbs (4.35kg)
The Combi Flare weighs 11.7 pounds (5.3kg). Most people will find it very lightweight and have no problem carrying it with their children inside.

I bought this for my 4 years old son; it is good for carrying stuff but can't sleep properly as head base pushes forward and always his head falls forward while he sleeps....

Great Stroller

(Score 4/5)

I needed a light weight, easy to store stroller for my toddler for trips to the mall or just for out and about and this stroller is perfect. I have a deluxe stroller that I use for long day trips or when I need more storage but it takes up my whole trunk and is very heavy. This Evenflo stroller is very easy to open and close, more sturdy then the standard umbrella stroller and takes up barely any room in my car. I can even carry it one handed. My only complaint is that sometimes I kick the back wheels when I'm pushing and I'm only 5'6. My husband can't push it at all, but they do have an option (I think it's only $10 more) where you can get longer handles so I highly recommend that and then it would be the perfect stroller. All and all I am very satisfied and would suggest this to anyone looking for an umbrella stroller. You can't beat it for the price either.

it was ok.......but a 5 point harness is much

(Score 2/5)

i received this as an xmas present for my daughter but in grey, im anxious to open it and use it as i know evenflo (for me) has always made great products. i asked for this gift because i have an aura select and the size wasnt always easy to manuvre with.i used it for 6 months but my 1 year ols is on the larger side and it was hard to get overside walk etc with out having to lift the stroller which was a strain. i hate the 3 point harness because ofter when coming and going up on sidewalks my daughter always sprung foward.............a 5 point harness would of been better. i invested in the first years jet stroller (retro red) instead and the bigger wheels made it much easier, the handles were also much taller and the width was way better as my daughter was packed in tightly in the evenflo. if the handles and width were taller and if it had the 5 point harness i would of chosen this any day buut sad to say i prefer the first years jet stroller anyday.


buy the first years jet stroller instead.

It was a mistake buying this throller

(Score 1/5)

After reading many reviews I bough the Evenflo convenience stroller for a week long trip I was doing in Miami with my 1.5year old son. We arrived at the hotel and the stroller was there which was great. First time out we had to put the stroller in the trunk of our rental PT Cruiser, it would not fit!!!!! We had some bags in the trunk so we had to place the stroller horizontally and it would not fit. The way this stroller folds makes it a very long package to store. Our second problem with the stroller is the seating position its too upright, and it is not adjustable!!! I could not bear the seeing my sons head wobbling from side to side when he fell asleep.
Besides the design problems above the stroller is on the heavy side, and the built is not great. I would have returned it if I could, but since I had used it I did not feel it was right to return it. Next time I will go to a store to check out a stroller before buying one through the WEB. My advise to a stroller buyer is buy one that has adjustable backrest, your son will sleep safer and better!

Easy, Lightweight, Perfect for Travel

(Score 5/5)

This stroller truly is light weight and compact. I was skeptical about how easy it would be to fold it up, but I shouldn't have been worried. Although I can fold it up while holding my 1 year old, it isn't that easy - it is, however, very easy to fold it with two hands. It is easy to push and maneuver, and super easy to get my squirmy son strapped in - only two things to snap into the harness, and the connection is large and simple so there is no fumbling around. The canopy stretches out a little farther than other strollers I've had. The "basket" on the bottom isn't very easy to slip items into; it is more of a large mesh bag - but it does hold things securely. When I fold it up nothing falls out. And there is a smaller mesh bag close to the handlebar which is the perfect size for your keys and phone. The handlebar is high enough for me to use easily, and I am 5'8".

The only thing I wish this stroller had is a snack tray. Also, an adult cup holder would be nice. It comes with a removable child's cup holder that hangs off the side of the stroller at the child's level which is pretty useless for children under the age of 2, since the child has to hold their cup out of the stroller and get it in just right or their cup lands on the ground. Impossible for my 1 year old, but ok for my 3 year old. BUT, the stroller seems a little small for my 3 year old, so I really only use it for the little one.

Overall, I really do like this stroller. and it beats my umbrella stroller made by Maclaren.

That is a perfect stroller for those who are looking for a Lightweight, compact but stong product. I "forgot" in my trunk, doesn't take a lot of room, so when I need, it is there!

I love mine! Great for quick shopping!

(Score 5/5)

I had the graco melbourne stoller that thing was huge. It took up the whole trunk. This nice stroller fits in my backseat of my small honda and my husband's mazda (trunk and or backseat). It seems like we don't even have it with us when we travel.

It is super lightweight. It has great wonderful wheels that move freely. Also all the wheels lock into place. Which on an umbrella stroller does not happen.

My child is almost a year old and I still change his diaper in this stroller instead of using the nasty restroom changers they have.

This stroller I stuck inside with my evenflo carseat at the airport in a bag and it was super light weight. I would buy this stroller again. It survived the trip to and from! I love the arm strap on it to carry around which that is not heard of.

Also it can go into the washer and dryer. How many strollers do that? My old one I couldn't take it off and laundry it.

The only bad thing is that there is not really a useable basket, which is fine with me because I just stick reusable tote bags to the bag handle and it works.

There is a really nice pocket in the back for parents to put keys into and so on. I can even stick a bottle water in there. It comes with a cupholder for the child.

It fits super well down isles while shopping and people are amazed that they don't have to move there shopping cart over for me to get around them.

Bad Steering

(Score 3/5)

Well, we love our double COMBI, so we thought this would make a great travel stroller.

Pros
Lightweight
Folds Compact
Nice Recline

Cons
Steering is impossible with one hand and lots of effort with two hands. I am surpised because I can steer the double stroller with one hand no problem.
It is NOT a 5-point harness, it is around the hips only.
When my daughter pulls up on the front bar sometimes she can pull it up and out of shape, because it is not hard but soft plastic (it is soft, as part of the compact fold).

I would not buy this stroller again, unfortunately.

Not the best...

(Score 3/5)

This stroller looks nice and classy but sucks. It is so difficult to push it with two hands, imagine one?!
Not the best in the market, make sure you review it well and even test drive it, if you have the option.
