Maclaren Quest??? Help???

[WDWorBUST]

Okay....we're shopping for a new stroller for Disney. The one we currently have is the one that came with our travel system and has served us well...but it was a pain in the rear end on the buses this past December. In fact to be such fans of Disney transportation we only rode the buses once because of the stroller. So I've researched and researched - been to the baby stores, etc. I can get a Maclaren Quest for $130 (2004) or the Maclaren Volo (2005) for $99. DD is 19 months and will be 23 months and 25 months on our next two trips. She would not nap in her stroller during our trip when she was 13 months but I would really like a recline just in case. So tell me - will I regret the little bit extra weight and extra $30 if I go with the Quest? Or if I go with the Volo will I be kicking myself in the rear for not going ahead and spending the extra $30 and having a stroller than can recline?

Thanks!!

Go with the Quest. It's definitely worth the extra $30, and has better resale too. Look at it this way - the Volo is a $100 stroller, period. The Quest is a $200 stroller, and you're getting a deal for $130.

I would go with the Quest if you need the recline. It is a sale and comes with the raincover as well. While I love the Volo, it is a very minimalistic stroller and might not be suitable for young kids. The Accessory Kit for the 2005 Volo cost quite a bit too.
