The Unofficial STROLLER Thread

[kellyf2626]

Hmm, reading about P&T one, it tells you to take the wheels off last minute and pack them into the bag...

I found the other one for $27


Hmmmmmmm.


Do you have a drink holder for your P&T?

Oh....if the other one is $27, that is a great deal!

I did get a drink holder....this one....it works pretty well, and has a nice storage pocket in the middle for my keys and cell phone.

I think I have DH convinced that we will need 2 umbrella-type strollers for our trip. We have decided on the Mac Volo since we were able to try them with our kids in them at BRU. We are now wondering if there is a possibility to clip them together to make them more like a double stroller. I have not had good luck in my googling. Has anyone ever done this?

Does anyone have a picture of the red strollers that you can buy in the gift shops?? Any idea what the weight limit for them would be?? My DD5 is 42 pounds now so I don't expect she'd be over 45lbs by September when we go. Are they still about $40 and are they readily available or will I have to hunt for one? Anyone who bought one have any opinions on them??

Thanks for any input!

Has anyone used these? They look like a real pain to push, clipped like this!

Does anyone know of a inexpensive umbrella stroller that reclines? I have a Mac Triumph for my 5yo, but I need something else for my 2yo; and I'd like to keep it under $50. Ideas? I looked at the Jeep All Weather one, but the reviews say it's very narrow for anyone over 2, and my DS has broad shoulders. The Chicco C6 doesn't look (or say) that it reclines.

We have a Graco Ipo and LOVE it. It was $79 at BRU, but they often have coupons for $15 off. It is an umbrella stroller that reclines fully, and it comparable to the Maclarens without the price.

Here is my DD napping in it:

I've been looking at the mac triumph and quest. I just can't seem to figure out what the difference is between the two. Is it just the footrest? I haven't seen them in person, so maybe it's totally obvious, but if anyone can help me out that would be great.

 

[allie1078]

the quest reclines more, along with the extendable leg rest is better for infants.

I paid $8/day when we were there last year for a single. Now I'm looking at bringing an umbrella stroller with me because I think $13/day for a single stroller is far too much.[/QUOTE]

I will be visiting in June and plan to bring my own stroller. I am a little worried though because we just bought it and spent over $100 for it. My worry is leaving it when we are in restaurants, attractions, ect. Will I have to worry about someone walking away with it????

The quest has a window to see through the hood, I don't think the triumph has that

 

[tinker&belle]

Can anyone explain how to make a quest recline? I can't figure out which levers to move. The instructions have an arrow pointing to the piece in the middle, but I can't figure it out

We took our big Graco Quatro tour Duo (double stroller) with us when we went to Disney just a few weeks ago and didn't have any problems. We made a 8 x 10 laminated sign with our last name and cell phone number on it just in case it got lost or misplaced. We just attached it to the stroller handles with zip ties. From what I have heard, it seems people just accidentally take another stroller that looks like theirs. If you somehow make yours more noticable there will be less of a chance of someone accidentally taking it. Also, make sure you park in designated stroller parking areas and you should be fine too. CM's will move strollers that aren't in those areas, and sometimes they are clear across the park (again from what I've heard).

To recline the Quest you lift up center of the black bars along the sides (just behind the back) and the seat drops (if child isn't inside, you must have to push it down a little).

We decided to upgrade from a C6 (which has a really rudimentary recline using zippers, bascially pointless) to a Quest before our trip last week and it was probably my single best planning decision (also, adding two Skip Hop saddle bags which held lots of bascis and kept it from tipping). I love the Quest so much and curse that I bothered with the C6 for more than a year. Recline was enough for DS to nap (which was a must), but the most important thing was how beautifully it handled, even one-handed. I am so happy with it.

 

[mamaLori05]

Any websites anyone would like to recommend for buying the quest or triumph. Has anyone seen in cheaper anywhere and had good luck with buying it there? Also, does anyone have any complaints on either of the two strollers. I have heard nothing but good about both of them, which is why I am looking at buying one of them, I'm just hoping complaints on one of them would help me make my decision. I would be buying it to use with my 3 yr old, 9 month old, and a future baby eventually. Obviously not all at the same time, but for travel and around the neighborhood and such.

 

[katied]

I bought the Triumph and love it, but I like the Quest more. DS is 13 months old, and the recline in the Quest is much better, and more practical at his age. That's just my opinion though. I'm holding on to the Triumph for when DS is a bit older, but for now, Quest works better for us. DS does not sleep well in stroller unless he is well reclined.

So, I would think if it was just 3 yr old, you would do well w/ Triumph, but with younger ones, Quest may be more versatle.

 

[allie1078]

I too am looking at the quest for our upcoming trip, but in my search I have found the Zooper twist or the Inglesina trip. They both seem comparble online to the quest. has anyone seen these or have them and can compare to a quest for me. do they push as easy, handles high enough for taller people? thanks

It's $13 now!

I knew they went up but I didn't think that high!

Hi,

we just got back yesterday and had a fantastic time - I already want to go back!

My biggest concern before I went was getting my expensive stroller stolen. It was my big splurge when dd was born and I love it and would be gutted if anything had happened to it.

The concept of parking the buggy up and walking off and leaving it without worrying was alien to me but within half an hour it never crossed my mind again and I had no problems leaving it.

I am sure buggys getting stolen does happen but I wouldn't hesitate to leave mine again.

HTH

Here's a post that I left on the other thread recommending the strollers this site has to rent!

>>I have to say that this stroller rental site is offering a GREAT stroller (Baby Jogger Mini Double or Single) for you to rent!!! I actually just bought this same stroller in the orange/gray combo for our newest WDW trip stroller after using a Peg P3 for the last 2 years.

>>It is the EASIEST folding stroller ever...just pull up the tab on the seat of the stroller and it is folded. No struggle at all and definitely one-handed! It is great for bigger kids too. The sunshade offers lots of protection and has a nice and roomy seat. I can't wait to use ours in September!!
