Stroller Q: Baby Planet, Maclaren & Peg Perego

[n3rf]

Hi Everyone, I know I know ... Another Stroller question just narrowed down to which stroller i would like to take to WDW in April and would like Opinions, negative and good on this 3 strollers if anyone has them, had them, etc.

I have decided to buy one of this...but would like to hear any feedback before i actually go out and buy it..either online, in store or cheapest place i can get it.

Everyone seems to love Maclaren so thinking of:

Maclaren 2006 Pink Flag Triumph
Maclaren 2007 Quest Baby Stroller NAVY/CRIMSON
really like the style of:

Peg Perego 2007 Aria Single Stroller <--- still unsure of the color

but my favorite so far is by far:

Baby Planet Solo Deluxe Stroller (think Pink Mocha)

ofcourse before deciding i will be going to test all this in person... but figured I could narrow it even further by asking opinions, concerns or any negative issues you encountered when using any of this.

Thx

I am going to be watching this thread. I am looking for a new stroller for our upcoming trip in June. I am looking at the Maclaren quest, baby planet solo, graco ipo(dh favorite because of the price), or inglesina swift. I have not been able to find the solo or swift in stores, but we live in a very rural area with not to many choices. I love the Quest in store. but still can't make up my mind.

I have the Quest (Mod- pink) and LOVE it. I also have a Volo, but with our new baby I needed one that reclined. I cant say enough good things about the Macs. I love that they push like they are gliding on ice. You can turn them on a dime one handed. The handles are very high (DH loves this feature) and they are lightweight. The only thing that I have found I dont love is that they have a tendancy to tip if you have stuff hanging on the handles. I can deal with that, though to have such a GREAT stroller!!

Awesome thanks Blessedby3 will put that on the + side for the Mac

I have a Mac Quest and love it! I tried a double baby planet stroller and it was awful. Hard to steer and close. I don't know about the single though.

I have the Baby Planet Solo in the Endangered Species Monarch style. I love it. It reclines fully, has ample storage underneath. The only drawback to that is that it has a metal X in the middle, but I can work around it. I do wish it had an extra cup holder and I have tried contacting them to see if I can buy another, but haven't been successful in getting in touch with anyone. I did try out the Chicco and Mac's in the store, but bought the Baby Planet sight unseen as there aren't any stores here that carried it. My dh even said he likes it. Good luck on your quest.

I have the peg aria and am looking to replace it with the Mac. The Mac holds up to 55# and my DD is at the max for the Aria (which I'm sure is only about 35) and I find that it is not as easy to push as the Mac. I like the way the Macs fold up (typical umbrella fold, long and compact) with the carrying strap. The Aria does not fold as compact.

I do like the Aria because it is wider than the Mac and it has a hard plastic footrest. It also reclines more than the Triumph (not sure about the quest). The Mac is narrower and has a soft plastic footrest so you can't (or shouldn't) step up onto it. I loved using my Aria when DD was younger, but now that she is older, i have to move onto a stroller than can carry a heavier child.

wow had no idea peg perego had such low limitations on weight... guess that one will be out of the running then since my DD is already at 30.4lbs at 2 1/2 which is considered lean by our Pediatrition.

Glad to find some solid feedback on the Baby Planet becuase i really wanted that one... loved the Butterfly endengered species model ....

Guess the fight continues between Mac and BP

We love the Maclaren Triumph. We took it with us last year and it was very easy to push around the parks all day. It's also pretty light weight and folds up easy, so getting on and off the buses was a breeze.
