Maclaren Twin Triumph?

[laceyinwonderland]

I know there are 100+ posts on stroller issues, and Im sorry to add to them, but Id really love some feedback!

We have always used kingdom strollers and loved them, but we are planning two back to back trips this year. I have an friend who has offered to sell her Maclaren Twin Triumph to me for $100. So I can buy this stroller for what it would cost me to rent only once. We will drive, so getting it there shouldnt be a problem.

I know thats a good deal, as they go for $270ish on amazon, and on amazon it seems every other review says good things about it at Disney World. However, Id like some reassurance from my dis friends!!! Anyone have any experience with this stroller? Pros or Cons?

Thanks in advance!!!

We have this for our twins. I prefer the BOB Dualie now that they're bigger, but we took the Mcclaren to Disney and it was great. We flew and used it in the airports, too. We use the Mcclaren at the mall as well. That's an excellent price for it!

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I think Im going to go ahead and buy it! Worst case, maybe I can resell for what I paid.

We used the Maclaren twin techno and loved it. How old are they? I would test it first as it narrow.

I purchased a Twin Triumph for $50 on Craigs List before our trip in December (I would check CL before buying it from your friend, it doesn't sound like a great "deal" to me). I had a 2 yr old & 5 yr old. It worked for the trip, but I'm selling it now. It's not a great everyday stroller due to the size/weight difference in my kids. I really wanted a Peg Perego Aria 60/40, but there wasnt' one in my price range.

The TT folds easily and compact, which was great for the busses. I liked that the seats reclined independantly, but unfortunately the storage basket SUCKS. A lot. But, that's any Maclaren stroller -- not just this one.

We have a Phil & Teds double stroller that I LOVE but it got beat up pretty bad by the airline 2 trips back and I won't take it again. The TT was fine for a stand-in.
