Our Costso had this for $178, I have never seen them for less than 279, usually 299. I just thought this was too good to pass up, so I bit the bullet today and bought one. Now I am having second thoughts. I have had the Mac Triumph for about a year and a half for dd(3), this one was purchased for ds for our December trip, he will be 7 months when we go.

I LOVE my Mac and I am sure this one is even better, but why do I "need" a stroller this expensive :confused3

So, can anyone with a techno tell me why you love yours and why I should keep mine :rolleyes: I hate the thought of carrying around our bulky stroller that goes with the travel system, we are staying off property, so the busses won't be an issue. I guess I am just having buyer's remorse :blush:

Well, I just checked it out on the web. I would love one of those and I'll tell you, if I had $178 to spend on a stroller, I sure would buy that one.

I bought the one that you are referring to from Costco a couple of weeks ago. I have been impressed by it and I was NEVER a Mac fan. I do think that the stroller is an excellent value.

I have one and love it. I have had larger, full sized strollers but they were getting harder to handle at the parks so last summer I got one for our June trip when ds was almost 3. We've used it for 4 trips and are getting ready for #5 and it's a great stroller. Easy to maneuver and fold up, yet comfortable and great for napping. Shade is a good size too. While I would love a cup holder (I never bought accessories for it) I think you'll love the ease of this stroller.

And that's a great price.

How does it fold? Does it fold down completely, like an umbrella? I'd love to see a picture of it folded up.

It has the umbrella fold. One drawback is that it doesn't have a shoulder strap to carry it with. It does have a handle. I think that it is a little on the heavy side, especially compared to my Combi, but it's not too bad or unreasonable for getting on and off a Disney bus.

Well, all I had to do was take it out of the box and try it out a little. There's no taking it back now, I think I will love it. We call our Triumph the "cadillac", this one is much nicer, not sure what we will call it :teeth: . Can't wait to put ds in it! I think that was worth rolling up all that loose change to buy it with :thumbsup2

Does anyone know if I can buy the connectors and connect the Triumph and the Techno if needed?

Since I have never owned another Mac, what are the differences between our strollers and the Triumph?

I have the Techno XT and love it. We have DS4 and DS1 this trip. I don't want a new double (have a Sit n Stand) but need another single. We've decided to go w/ the Quest. It's a bit smaller and less bulky folded than the Techno w/ slightly smaller wheels but not as small as the small Volo wheels.

If I had it to do over again I would have bought 2 Quests but hey..that's a great deal on a Techno. I got mine for $199 from somewhere else so that's why I went that route initially.

Great stroller!!!
