Question for Maclaren experts

[tooncanator]

After much research we chose to purchase a Maclaren
Triumph for our September trip to Disney. Can someone
please explain the trick to folding this bad boy quickly,
i'm starting to think it's broken or I made a big mistake.
Thanks. Toon

I am terrible at explaining things off the tip of my head, but here goes. We have a triumph. I usually do both things to it, but DH only does the one. I push the middle bracket up with my foot and push down on the little bracket on the right side with my foot. DH can get it to work by only pushing on the side.

We do exactly what the other person says. I kick up the thing in the middle (Underneath where the shopping basket is) then on the right hand side step down on the black thing. We have a Techno, but think they all fold the same

Have you tried going to the Maclaren website, I think they may have a video to demostrate how easy it is to fold it.

You will love the stroller, you just need some practice.

This may be redundant, but we have a Truimph too. I think you have to first push down on that black lever on the right side with your right foot. This I believe releases the locked position. Then you push UP the middle of the frame on the back, just above the basket, with your foot and push forward at the same time. It should fold down forward.

Once you do it a couple of times you will have it down. It was great for our last trip. DD took a couple of naps in it and it saved a lot of time not having to travel back to the resort for naps. It is also very lightweight for plane and shuttle bus travel. In my mind, it was worth the cost.

Ours was a little hard to fold up too at first when it was brand new. I think the more I did it, the easier it got. I guess the parts "loosened" up a little and needed to be broken in. I remember getting really annoyed when I couldn't get it folded up! Now after practice and use, it takes about 10 seconds.

I pull up on the carrying strap then use my foot to press down on the lever thing (just like the others have said).

i do exactly the same thing. And i do both things at the same time -- push down on the lever with my right foot while I am pulling up on the carrying strap. It takes like 1 second. I LOVE this stroller! (oh, and I have discovered that if this doesn't work, it's b/c the stroller is not fully open. push down on the hinge in the back and try again).

Did you get the accessory pack thing that hangs on the back? It holds water bottles and other stuff. it's pretty handy to have...
