Perfect car & travel stroller,
March 17, 2011 Corinne Hutchinson - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maclaren Triumph Stroller, Scarlet/Silver (Baby Product)
This is our 6th stroller (my daughter is now 10 months old), and I think we've finally found the one that works for us. We've had it for two months now, and are very happy with it. We currently keep it in the trunk of our car and use it for errands, excursions, and plane travel.
Pros:
*Lightweight (approximately 11.5 lbs with canopy & shopping basket): the only lighter stroller that also reclines is the Uppababy G-luxe, which also weighs about 11 lbs. The shoulder carry strap is a nice feature and makes it simple to transport the stroller up/down flights of stairs or on walks if your child decides to walk or wants to be carried.
*Strap recline (as opposed to other reclining Maclaren strollers, which use a fiddly system of two levers that have to be operated simultaneously, and block access to the basket). The strap recline on the Maclaren Triumph can be operated one-handed.
*Great steering. Even weighed down by a 20 lb child and 15-20 lbs of...Read more

Lightweight, durable umbrella stroller!,

I also live in an urban area, so I love that I can fold this up and strap it over my shoulder for an unexpected staircase or to get on and off public transportation. I've used it in airports, malls, Disneyland, zoos, cities, everywhere. It also fits in any car I've ever tried to squeeze it into--even on the floor behind the front seats, for when the trunk is all loaded up for a road trip.
It does have a small basket, but that's never bothered me because I know that's a trade-off for having a lightweight, easily compactible stroller. My only complaint (and this may be a factor on all umbrella strollers, but I've only used the Maclaren) is that when it folds up, the front wheels rub on the stroller shade and get it all dusty. Not a big problem, but the inside of my shade is black so it shows and always looks dirty...Read more

Comparison,

This review is from: Maclaren Triumph Stroller, Charcoal/Silver (Baby Product)
I debated which stroller to buy via online reviews and decided to just go to a big box store and take a look at them. The store only carried Maclaren, Jeep and Chicco (no UPPAbaby or Britax). Here is what I found:
I looked at the Maclaren Quest, Triumph and Volor, Jeep Reclining Umbrella, Chicco C6. I narrowed it down to the Quest and Triumph and ultimately picked the Triumph based on color =)
Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller, Coffee/Sky Blue
Maclaren Triumph Stroller, Charcoal/Silver
Maclaren Quest and Triumph: Very similar to each other, differences noted here. Both reclines to same spot, Quest only has two positions, Triumph can be reclined to any position between...Read more
