Peg Perego Pliko Lite OR Maclaren Quest or Techno??

[cheerbop]

We love these and can not decide between the 3.
Please tell me what you think of them. What do you like and not like?
Any input or direction would be VERY helpful!!!

Tell me the differences

We have a 3 1/2 yo that will use it and also a 4 1/2 month old (who will be 9months at time of travel).

I can only comment about the peg perego pilko lite. We bought it and it was TERRIBLE. The first trip I took it on, to Tampa to visit family, the bottom fabric basket thingy broke off completely. True my DS is a typical boy, but it shouldn't have broken. Anyway, I exchanged it when I got home, and needless to say the same thing happened again. So now it sits in the garage unused!!!! Yes it seems comfy and it is light, but I need some sort of basket to dump all our stuff. Hope this helped.

Love the Macleren Quest....sometimes a little tough to open but have been very happy with it overall.

OK, I voted for the Peg but now realize that i don't have the Pliko lite. I have the p3. The Pliko P3 is an awesome stroller.

Ok. I voted for the Maclaren, but I actually have the Maclaren Volo thanks to a lot of suggestions from here on the DIS. I have to say that I love it. It doesn't have the huge basket, but I bought the organizer the other day to hold our drinks and stuff and it seems to work great. Good luck finding one you like! It took me a while to decide.

We just got back from Disney and I was shocked how often we had to fold up our strollers! I would go with a Maclaren but make sure to get a Carry You Pescara Saddlebag. You can fold the stroller up without taking it off, which solves the storage problem. Wished I had brought my Maclaren!

I have the mac quest..........love it for trips around town, etc. reclines back...................my only concern about bringing it to disney is the small basket underneath, and it "tips" back when child is not in stroller, and you have a bag hanging off the back .....keep in mind that I like to have extra stuff with me while in the parks, so I am not a light packer for the day!!! however, it will be a dream to fold and bring on and off the bus , nice and light, compact, but still comfy.. best of luck, have a great trip.....annabug

I voted for the Maclaren Quest, it is a bit smaller and lighter than the Techno. That said, I have the Techno and am contemplating bringing it with us on our trip this October. The only thing I don't like is the inaccessibility of the basket. I tend to carry a lot of crap around with me (hoarding is in my genes) and I hate digging around in the basket, it's so small and it's a pain to reach when my daughter is in the stroller.

My mom has a Peg Perego Aria, and I had to borrow it recently. I think it would make a great Disney stroller. It's light, easy to fold, and the basket is decent-sized and accessible--no umbrella fold mechanism blocking access to the basket. Albeebaby has 2005 models on sale for $99.00. I wouldn't use it for my every-day stroller, but I think it might work for the parks.

Not sure I answered your question, just wanted to let you know I'm having stroller indecision too!

Ohhh! Thanks for suggesting this saddlebag. I just ordered one for my Quest!

Thanks for the replies!

I would go Quest. The Techno doesn't have *that* many more features that you will need for a travel stroller. Quests are a rock-solid bet.

We just purchased the Quest last month and LOVE it!! I have about 6 other strollers and I am planning on getting rid of all of them now with the new Quest! Very light, comfy and soo easy to push.
