Yet another stroller question...Macclaren quest and Triumph, what is the difference?

[hygienejean]

I have been looking at strollers so long they are now starting to look the same to me!

I am now looking at the Macclarens and besides the price, can you tell me the difference between the Quest and the Triumph? The features look the same....

If you have either, please tell me how you like them. Is the basket big enough to heold a diaper bag? Are they good for WDW? How about running errands from home?

Thanks!

I have both. The Triumph has a carry strap and no adjustable legrest. The seat is also quite shallow. The Quest does not have a carry strap (but you could make one) and has an adjustable legrest. The recline is not full. All else the same, I much prefer the Quest.

The basket is rather small and quite inaccessible. Only a very small diaper bag will fit down there. If you hang a bag on the back of the stroller, the stroller will tip backwards when your child gets out.

They are lightweight and easy to fold, and incredibly easy to push, even with a bigger child. But I prefer a stroller like the P3 for a younger (under 3yo) child at Disney - full hood, plush, full recline, adjustable legrest, tray, bigger basket.

When we go this year, we will bring our P3 for our then 22mo and our Quest for our 5yo.

Is the Peg's P3 similar to Mac's techno model???
Are they priced similarly? Mac and Peg...I like them both and it is so hard to decide!

Yes, the P3 and Techno are fairly comparable. P3 will be less tippy and larger around when folded. Features are very similar.

The Maclaren-like Inglesina's are a nice compromise between the Quest and the Triumph. The Inglesina Tripp is very similar in features to the Quest, but with a smaller price tag -- somewhere between a Triumph and Quest. I also find the Trip to be less tippy and a bit more comfortable to push. We've been using a Quest or Trip for WDW since our little one was 16 mos. He's always been very comfortable in each. The Quest is our car stroller and does great in the malls or shopping centers when we're out and about.

I have a Maclaren Ryder that I love, but I still take the P3 to Disney. You just can't beat the sun protection you get with the hood of the P3 and the ability to pull it down to the tray is great if your little one wants to hide away from all the noise/lights/action for a little bit.

I just took the plunge and bought a P3! I think it will be great for my 17 mo old DD. I love that it reclines all the way back. It still seems to be lightweight. Would you other P3ers tell me if this stroller is fairly lightweight (REALLY hoping)or bulky (Hope not!)??
