maclaren for dummies

[PoohHappens]

I know I know another thread about strollers. I am 99.9% pos that I want a Maclaren stroller. Not only for Disney trips but for every day use as soon as we are done using an infant carrier type car seat. I got an Inglesina when my previous DS was like 2 1/2 and wondered why I waited so long. So I want a lightweight umbrella fold stoller as soon as I ditch the baby seat. So now the question is which one. I know I do not want a Volo because it does not recline. What are the main differences between the Quest and Triumph. And if I find a great deal on a Techno does it have some features that are worth the extra cost.
The other .1% of me still has interest in a babby jogger citymini. I thought of getting one from the get go for the baby seat, but the attatchments and everything were really starting to add up. We have ened up with a graco Cleo which is like a P3 knock off. It is harder for set up, and has larger wheels but I think especially for the $89 price we paid and that I do not plan of using it forever I will be fine. Thanks for any info.

I have had both Maclaren Triumph & Volo and the Baby Jogger City Classic (I got the classic as it has a higher weight limit and my dd was getting older. I would by far recommend the Baby Jogger. It is much easier to maneuver, the folding is sooooo much easier than the Maclaren & the quality was great (the Maclaren is good as well). My husband is almost a foot taller than me so the fact that the handle is adjustable both up and down was a huge selling point for the Baby Jogger. We are both able to push it comfortably with no backaches & I am 5'2 & he is 6'1. My dd prefered the seat comfort of the Baby Jogger much better & she can still ride in it at 6.5 yrs old (yes I still do a stroller for Disney only). I bought both brands of strollers from Albee Baby online & they were excellent as well. Hope that helps!

Thanks, we love Albee baby. Well I will revisit the baby jogger as well. I think I had decided against it mainly because of our vehicle, but thanks to a wreck we now have a minivan so that is not an issue. I am not due until October but trying to make some decisions. Thanks for the info and recommendations. Our last trip to Disney my DS had just turned 7 and my DH insisted we would not need a stroller. He is smallish and only weighed about 42 lbs at the time. Guess what we rented the last 3 days
