What is the best umbrella stroller?

[cancer_survivor_06]

I ordered the Kel-gar Keep Attachable Pin wheel fan for 10.00 from walmart.com I hope it works well.

I haven't used that specific fan but I bought the mickey on in disney and the covered fans don't seem to fan as well. you may want to buy one other O2 mini clip on fans as an extra it has foam blades that are exposed and even though it is mini it has a really good air flow. If was funny this past June we went to TN and my dd was in the stroller she is disable and was sticking her hand in the fan all of the sudden a man came running out of a crowd at us about to have a heart attack when he saw her. It was very thoughtful and funny at the same time. the fan didn't hurt her at all.

I cannot say enough good things about my Maclaren Quest. We have been using it since my DD was about 6 months and she slept in it all the time.

For those that have the Maclaren strollers, I am trying to decide between the Triumph, the Quest and the Techno XLR. Can anyone provide feedback or point me in the direction of some reviews?

I've found some great deals on these strollers, but aside from the weight difference I can't specifically see the difference in them. I've found the Techno XLR for under $200 which seems like a great deal but I don't know if it is too heavy or not.

I'm purchasing one for my 4 year old and then doing a swap with a few different families in my area to use at WDW this year.

Thanks!

We have a Quest and a Techno XR. We bought the Techno just for Florida/Disney. (My parents live near by, so it stays at their house.) We chose the Techno for Florida bc the seat is bigger, has a lot more sun coverage, reclines a little better, has adjustable handles and is higher off the ground, so we will get more use out of it later on (our daughter is very tall). The only negative vs the others (if you want to call it a negative) is that the wheels are mucher bigger and are a little bulky compared to the quest. So when we are on the buses, I always feel like they are in my face or some one elses. The Quest is only a pd or two lighter and they both fold the same. The Techno just doesn't have the carry strap, just the handle on the side.

Thank you for the great information!
I just wonder if I will miss the carrying strap if I go with Techno. I've had a Peg before which had the handle on the body, that seemed to work well.
I am leaning toward the Techno, as I think I've found a great deal on it!

The handle that is on the side of the stroller works great. I actually use that more then I do the strap on the quest. I don't like the dirty wheels hitting me when carrying it on my shoulder with the strap! The handle works much better, in my opinion!
