Just back, loved my Mac for DD 5!

[shelly3girls]

I searched all over for the perfect stroller for our trip to WDW. We previously brought our Combi Twin Savvy, buy my DD 5 is just too big for it. We planned for my younger DD (3) to mainly use the stroller, but knew that the older one would use it at times. I decided on the Mac Triumph (bought it at Babies R Us on sale $120). My husband and I both agreed that this is the best single stoller we have ever owned, just a shame that it took us 4 tries to get it right! We loved everything about it, the size, weight, carry strap, easy fold, one hand stearing, nice size basket, etc. I highly recommend this stroller!!!

Thank you for posting this. I have been struggling with what stroller to buy...

Now I just need to decide between the Triumph and Quest...

Did you take it with you on buses and the monorail? We are staying at the Poly in June and are trying to decide if we want to bring our big Graco, or just the umbrella stroller, or both. We have a 1 year old and a 5 year old.

We took it everywhere while staying at the Poly. We also have a Graco and were happy using it in the past except it was a pain taking it on the bus. I don't like traveling with an umbrella stroller b/c my younger DD naps in the stroller but only if reclined. If my choice was the Graco or the umbrella, I would take the Graco for a younger child. The bulk on the bus is worth the inconvenience to me for the convenience in the park. The thing that I loved about the Mac was that I could handle the stroller and both kids at the same time. We rented a stroller for my 5 year-old when we needed it, which turned out to be often. If you don't want the expense of renting, I would probably bring both strollers. My DD5 could not have walked all day especially in the June heat.

you can get a maclaren that will recline for a younger child - I'm not sure of the model names, but they definitely do models suitable for all but the smallest infant

Just another suggestion -- we bought an Inglesina Zippy stroller for our trip last year and loved it. My husband was leary of buying another stroller, but after we got to disney and started using it, boy was he happy. The stroller is so easy to fold and it has 4 recline positions. It also doesn't weigh a lot. It was a little expensive but we found it to be well worth the cost.

Just realized that this will be the first year without taking a stroller with us! I love the convenience of stollers for hauling our gear, but took an umbrella stoller for our 4 year-old last year and never really used it. My DH states he would rather carry a back pack instead of deal with a stroller any day, so we are going to be free! After being at WDW with our daughters at every age since infancy we've been through it all. Very immature I am sure, but when we see those with little ones hauling all that gear around we love to grin at each other and do a freedom dance.

I am soo happy that I found this thread. I too am struggling between the Triumph and Quest. I just posted a new thread in hope to make an educated decision. Nice to know that Shelly3girls loved the Triumph... but I am still very interested in the Quest. Luv2trav.... I will be interested in knowing what decision you make
