Mac Quest, Volo, Techno or Triumph for taller 4yr old?

[Tiger926]

I know this has been asked a ton of times, but I can't get search to work - sorry!

Our tall 4yr old is getting a bit squishy (she's only 42lbs) in her Triumph, so I am off stroller shopping tomorrow, for our upcoming WDW trip. Can't remember which has a larger seatback for longer, as I don't care about storage basket, carry strap or cup holders.

I also started a thread about Baby Planet strollers - very similar to Macs (but have only seen online) - but no one seems to know anything about them, although they are generating lots of positive buzz. Anyone?

Any stroller tips for taller kids, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Tiger

I actually have a Graco stroller that I bought at Target for $99 last spring. I have a tall almost 3 y/o and a 4 y/o niece that both fit in it very comfortably. The front bar unlatches and can be moved out of the way for a kid to sit into the stroller. I even have had my DD8 ride in it when she wasn't feeling well and she fit (75 lbs and tall for her age!) I know this isn't one of the strollers you were asking about, but I am very happy with it, so I thought I'd mention it!

Thanks for mentioning that. I don't care for Graco strollers at all - they don't steer well for me and that makes for sore bones and a cranky Mama!

I own a 2006 Techno Classic and my dd7 is about 40lbs and she is just about 48inches tall. I will be using it for our upcoming trip. Normally I would just use the cheapy umbrella b/c she mostly walks but I haven't used the mac in disney and she will be doing competition cheer so I figured it will be best for both of us. When dd sits in it the back comes all the way up to the bottom of her head and she seems to have plenty of room.

Thanks. We are going to try out the Quest and Techno and see which is better. Whatever is most comfortable for her, is what she will get!
