Double Stroller - 2004 vs 2005 Maclaren Rally Twin?

[WDWLinda]

I can't see much difference between these two (besides $5 to $10)...anyone care to comment on either one?

Thanks,
Linda

I have an older one (03 or 02) that I bought when my kids were 4 1/2, 3 and 1. My youngest HATES it! We brought it to Disney in Jan 2004 and the older 2 used it and I rented a comfy single stroller from ABBF. On our last trip I brought a Peg Perego Pliko P3 which the youngest LOVES! We rented doubles for the older 2. I also have an older MacLaren single daytripper which the baby used to HATE but we took it out a few months ago and now she loves it-try to use the Peg a few weeks ago and she cried. So we took out the Rally Twin for a spin last week and she still HATES it and with her (30 lbs) and her brother (38 lbs) it was a lot of work pushing that around. On our next trip we are taking the Peg (which has a running board) and the old single MacLaren. Hoping that will work most days and will rent doubles if needed. If I had taken DD to the store before I bought the Twin I would have known that she hated it right away. I think its just her personality. She's a bit of a spit fire! Doesn't want to share her space with no sibling.

I noticed you asked about Albee. I got both Rally Twin and Peg from them. When I ordered the Peg I called to ask them the difference between the 2003 and 2004 model and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. You may want to call them and ask.
