Maclaren Stroller Question

[EmilyC]

I have a 2 year old and was wondering if I should go with the Quest or the Triumph. Would love to hear your thoughts?

We have a 2 year old and the Truimph is perfect for her. Both my kids hated strollers but since I got the Triumph, my DD loves sitting in it. She's very comfortable in it. It does recline but unfortunately, she won't! (She doesn't want to miss a thing!) It's light-weight and much easier than our older stroller to fold up and take on the Disney buses. It also doesn't take up much room at all since it's compact like an umbrella stroller.

I was reluctant to spend the extra on the Quest since I figured she wouldn't be using the stroller much longer anyway. The Triumph is just right.

I have the Quest and LOVE IT!!!! It's the best stroller I've ever owned. It is SO lightweight and steers like a dream! It has little leg extensions in case your child wants to put their feet up a bit! It reclines nice and the basket is a decent size for me. The seat is also wider than the Triumph.

They are both great, lightweight strollers and hold up to 55 pounds each. You cannot go wrong with either one!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

We have a Quest and we love it! The seat is deeper than the triumph which was the big seller for me. I had my ds (4) try them all out and he kept coming back to the Quest and saying it was the most comfortable. I even let him try out the Techno, which was more money, and he still kept picking the Quest. It takes up hardly any room when folded and is easy to manuever. I will however buy they ray shades because the shade doesn't really do too much. I did not want to spend so much on a stroller but it was money well spent.

Is it worth getting the Techno Classic? Babies R Us online is offering them at 50% off.

We have the triumph, I am so happy I talked myself into buying it I first bought a 2004 floor model because the sales girl told me it was basically the same as the new model(different color) and it was $40. cheeper. I ended up taking it back, the basket kept falling off. I have the newer model now and its AWESOME!!! you will be happy with either.

We bought the Triumph when DS was 3, I was NOT happy about spending so much money, BUT it has been wonderful. Its lightweight, we go to a lot of amusement parks, water parks etc. and of course Disney. My DD7 sometimes even sits in it.

Hey EmilyC, I looked on BabiesRUs and it takes you to Amazon. I did not see any Techno at 50% off. Could you tell me how you got to the spot where you see the sale? Thanks so much!

During the first part of the week they had a Techo Classic on sale, but it only lasted about a day and they were sold out. Babies R Us and Toys R Us online goes through Amazon.com. You were in the right place, but they are already gone.

I decided to go with the Techno to late to get the great sale price. I ended up getting a 2006 Quest for $160.

I have the Techno C;assic and love it! The main reason I got it was for the storage space in the back. Also, if we have another baby, I can use it with a 3 or 4 month old.

We just went to Babie's R Us and bought the Mac Quest Mod. We tried both the Trimuph and Quest. We decided on the Quest because DH's shoes did not hit the back of the stroller's wheels but did on the Triumph .
Not sure if it was the way he was walking or there built a little different!?

Thanks EmilyC for the info. I went to BabiesRUs and bought the 2006 Quest. Used it Friday night at the Braves game and my 15 month old LOVED the leg extenders, which was a feature I did not think we would ever use. The thing drove like a dream, great handling and getting it on and off the Marta subway was easy. After just the first couple of trys, both DH and I were experts at getting it up and down with ease!

Can't wait to use it again.
