Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller -- 5 year old?

[laurafaith]

hi all -- im trying to make a final decision on a stroller purchase. we will be going in nov and my boys will by almost 5 (dec 19) and 7 months. i thought i had my mind set on the maclaren twin triumph -- but after doing more research it says it is for 6 months - 36 months? do any strollers recommend/allow a 5 year old. im torn. i know maybe he is to old for a stroller but he is small and i know his little legs will get tired and then DH will end up carrying him?? what should i do??

I just bought a single Triumph for our recent trip to WDW. I pushed my 55lb. 48" tall Nephew around in it no problem. He did not even feel heavy in it. I love the stroller and it was easiy to fold up and carry on the bus.

Also my sister rented a double from WDW to push the kids around in (there were 3 of them). They are nicer than they look and push really easily even with my Nephew and my 40lb. 45" DD in it. The singles worked nice for him as well. He liked stretching his legs out which he couldn't so in the Triumph.

I hope this helps!

Baby Planet also make a nice double that has a weight rating like a Mac (130lb total weight limit). It folds up small too and is only $289.

maclarens will support 55 lbs on each seat, regardless of age. I'd take the maclaren double
