I really like this stroller. It's easy to get in and out of the car and maneuver through stores and streets. My daughter seems to find it comfortable to sit and sleep in. It's also easy to fold up and tote around on your shoulder if needed.

I love how lightweight and compact this stroller is. It doesn't take up the entire trunk of my car and it's so easy to unfold. It's also a lot sturdier than some of the other lightweight strollers I tested. The handles are also higher which is great when hubby is pushing.
it is great for travelling and commuting but it is not a very stable/ strong option.
I Love this stroller and my son always wants to jump in when he sees it.
ive seen alot of people with these at Disney world... people seem to like it, it comes in nice colors too
Maclaren is a great option for taller parents and taller kids. My son was hitting the top of his head on the canopy with the Bugaboo and he is only 2 yrs old. Also, my husband who is on the tall side pushes this stroller without having to hunch over. It pushes very easily and it is easy to fold. I've had no problems with the wheels and I use this stroller quite a bit!
My only caveat is the customer service is not the greatest. My fabric had gotten pretty roughed up in the wash and I called to let them know. Basically, I still use it but the fabic looks old for a stroller less than 1 yr old. By contrast, I've had wonderful customer service with Bugaboo (higher price end) and Graco (lower price end) on their strollers.
Very modern and lightweight.
I own a maclaren quest and love it. The maclaren buggies are lightweight so are excellent for travel - I've put mine on several flights including international without any problems.
I don't have one, but it sure sounds GREAT!!!! With a 14 month old, I could really use it.
I don't have one either .. But i sure could use one with a 10 month old and another one on the way...
I DON'T HAVE ONE....BUT, WITH KIDS IT SURE WOULD BE GREAT TO TEST THIS ONE OUT...
love to test the product as i have a young daughter and needs for infants are great
i would love to test this one since i have 19 month old twins
This thing fell apart on me!
I don't have one but would love to test this one out!!
I like it - easy to navigate and feels sturdy for an umbrella stroller. However - I wish you could move the sunshade to more than 1 position.
I have the Maclaren quest lulu guiness and it's awesome. It runs so smoothly and is so comfortable for my daughter and stylish as well. The only problem with this one is that it doesnt have a strap that you can tote around on your shoulder like the other maclarens it just has a carrying handle which i'm a little annoyed with but overall it's a great line of strollers maclaren has.
love the color and would love to use it on my baby evelyn
THis would be great to test out since I have foster children of all ages and would love to have aneasy to manuever stroller for the little ones.
We have one and I love it! It's light and it maneuvers well, and it's easy to fold and open.
I havent found a fold up stroller I like yet. I would love to give this one a try!
My friend has one and it is fabulous!
IT HAS BEEN 4 YEARS SINCE A BABY STROLLER WAS USED IN HOUSE, AND HE'S TO BUSY TO BE IN ONE, BUT IT WOULD COME IN HANDY FOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING.
I have an 18 pound 4 month old! We are looking for a stroller to make it easier to handle our big (little) guy. The slings/ baby carriers are just not working.
We test drove the Triumph and the Quest and found that they were both decent strollers. There was little to no storage, and the "see-through" window left a lot to be desired. Light weight, easy to maneuever, and good for tall parents.
i would like to test this stroller out.i need a stroller since i always have my god daughter and she can get heavy when i have to carry her all over.
We recently bought this stroller (as our 3rd) and we absolutely love it! It's super light weight and so easy to fold! My daughter is really comfortable in it (she's tall, which a lot of strollers give her a hard time), when we went to buy it, we had her (2 years old) 'test ride' each one and she didn't want to get out of this one (that was it, we were sold)!
I thing my friend would love this for her grandson
We love this stroller. It took a trip across the pond with us and survived. It is easy to use and if our daughter wants to get out and stretch it is very easy to fold-up and carry along by using its strap over your shoulder. I like that they offer bright colors so we are spotted more easily while we are walking around.
I'm expecting, and I will keep this stroller in mind =)
VERY NICE, LIGHTWEIGHT, EASY TO USE, GREAT FOR QUICK TRIPS OR LONG WALKS.
I REALLY LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!
Theoretically its a great stroller but in concept it is such a pain to push! I'm tall and hate that I have to bend over to reach the handlebars and those wheels are terrible for real walking. I wish Maclaren could make one that drives better.
You can open and close with one hand. Its great.
I don't have this but it seems like it would be wonderful. Very user friendly!
I have an old Volo from Maclaren and it has been a dream. The fabric is my only complaint=it is light gray and pale pink and I cannot get it clean. I wish I had a stroller closer to the pictured one above in darker colors for a cleaner look. Would be great for Disney next year!!!
I have a Triumph from Maclaren (one step up from the Volo) and it is a great umbrella stroller. It is lightweight and easy to set up and fold. It doesn't replace a regular stroller though. A few of the cons small storage basket, the seat does not recline all of the way, no cupholders, no child snack tray, easier to tip (because it is so lightweight).
It is a nice small stroller to have in your car but I think it is a little overrated for the price. You are paying for the name!
This is an awesome stroller for the money. I admit it is pricey at 175$ but aren't are kids worth it? :) just try it out and you will see how wonderful this stroller is.
I've had this stroller for three years and love it - it is the one we use the most. It will be making its first trip to DisneyWorld next week, and I know we'll be glad we brought it. Yes, it is a little bit lacking in the storage department, but it more than makes up for that with its easy steering, lightweight and easy foldup and carry.
A girlfriend has a Maclaren and I've always been impressed by how much easier it is for me to maneuver than the umbrella style stroller I had for my oldest (now 4). I'm 5'11 and it's by far the most comfortable stroller I've ever used. Now that my youngest is getting to where she can transition into this style of stroller, we're seriously considering making life easier & more comfortable and shelling out the extra $$ for a Maclaren this time around.
I would love to try something like this. $175 is a lot of money for us to spend on a stroller for a growing toddler. My friend has one, and she loves it.
this is all fine and dandy but i can get a simple little umbrella stroller for 15 bucks, why pay that much for the same thing just a bit fancier??
I agree with rebeccaluv. This looks like a glorified umbrella stroller. I understand its probably a bit more rugged than a regular umbrella stroller, but if Im wanting sturdy and strong Im going to use my regular stroller. I cant see paying this much for something like this....
that is exactly what I think , really nice but no storage !!! but over all - i do recommend :-)
Maclaren is the best! We don't have this particular stroller but we do have the Maclaren Volo. Maclarens manuveur the best, you can even steer with one hand if needed, and it is the roomiest umbrella stroller for a tall or big child. It folds up in mear seconds also. The only part I do not like is the storage. It has a very small basket underneath but no cupholders. But other than that it is definitly a product I would continue to buy.
I would love to test this one out. I have gone through a few Graco strollers and it seems that I need to replace them on a yearly basis!
I have a folding stroller but I am currently looking for something different since it has been used frequently and I have a baby on the way. Saw a ton of these on a recent Disney World trip and asked one mother what she thought. She had rave reviews about it. I would love to try it!
This stroller sounds awesome. I would love to try it! The stroller I have is hard to pack up!
We bought one almost 2 years ago. It is very easy to use and light weight and does not take up a lot of room in you trunk. The one we bought has adjustable handles- that is great cause my husband is taller and can adjust the handles to his liking. On the back there are pockets to put things and a small basket under the stroller but I wish there was a place to set you drink by the handle bars. That is the only bas thing that I have to say about the stroller.
Ive seen this stroller,, its just the price i cant do at the moment
I received this as a gift and didn't necessarily want it, but now really like it. It's great for travel since it's small and light weight. Now that my son is 18 months and doesn't want to be as constrained in a stroller, it's a little easier to get him to stay strapped in.
i dont have one but it sounds like it would be great for my lil guy.
I am thinking about purchasing an umbrella stroller after borrowing a friend's on a recent trip to a waterpark hotel; however, I am concerned about the "cheap" factor that goes along with the more inexpensive strollers. I think it would be neat to test this stroller out to see how it compares to a regular old umbrella stroller. It would be great to get the chance to test it out so that I can pass along my opinions to all my friends that are new mommies!! There is nothing more frustrating then paying for a product, either cheap or expensive, only to find that it does not meet your needs so you have to go and spend the money to buy a second product that does meet your needs---how frustrtating!!!
I love my Triumph but I definitely use it as my "extra" stroller. It's nice and compact and lightweight so I use it when I'm going somewhere that's tough to manuever around when I have a stroller like a restaurant, coffee shop or smaller store. For everyday use, I definitely need more storage space- something the Triumph is definitely lacking in. But I definitely love it and would recommend it to anyone.
I purchased the Triumph after being frustrated with my bulky Graco travel system stroller and I am IN LOVE. The Graco was great with the snap on car seat, but I won't go anywhere without my Triumph now. It's super easy to use and lightweight. The baby doesn't get bumped around as much as with the larger stroller
I do wish it had more storage space, a cup holder, and a tray for the kiddo.
Its expensive for an umbrella stroller and for the $$ I'd go with something sturdier
I love it because it is SO light and portable. We have a Bugaboo Frog, but sometimes it is so much easier to grab the Maclaren and go versus deal with putting the other one together. Our oldest really loves it. The only negative is that because it is so low to the ground it is very easy for the 2 year old to jump out and grab EVERYTHING on every shelf in a store.
I am tired of seeing the latest trend in strollers that dont improve the stroller concept is self Like storage, height of arms etc....
I love this stroller. It is easy to transport. Great for children of all ages. The only down fall is no cup holder and minimal storage.
I adore this stroller. Lightwieght, yet sturdy, easy to maneuver in tight quarters. Stoller handle hieght is terrific. It drives like a dream!
The adjustable seatback is more difficult than it needs to be, would be nice if it could be done with one hand. A cup/bottle holder would be a bonus.
We have a Maclaren Techno XT and love it. It is light and easy to fold up and put in the trunk. The only thing with I belive all the Maclarens is there is that the basket is really small and hard to reach and there is no tray for my son if he has a sippy cup. They should make an attachment for the side so toddlers can hold onto to their cups.
i adore this streoller, look lightweight and easy to use
My husband & I are both tall people and our 2 year old is too. This product would be great for us. I would love to try it out. But my main concern is th eprice that is pretty steep for an umbrella stroller
where did you purchase this item for $175.00? I also like this product. However, it was between $5-700.00. I purchased a Jeep, not easy travel, but very comfortable for baby or toddler and parent.
We are a family of travelers and I was thrilled with this stroller! Our saw numerous airport, train stations and so on and was only regifted when my son out-grew it.
WOW,what a great deal 175.00? My aunt really needs this!
I have a double wide Maclaren (have twins). Got it out-of-box with 40% off (there was a small tear in the original box). Quite sturdy, light-weight and multi-functional. Folds up umbrella style (best term I could think of) with ease. Absolutely love it and have recommended this brand to others many times!
I don't have this, but with a 9 month old and a used and falling apart stroller, I would really love to test one!
It's been years since I had to use strollers, but I always purchased Maclaren in the past for my daughter and twin boys. My british friend had one and I fell in love with it. I traded in my brand new American made stroller for the Maclaren. Then when I had twins I got the double (actually purchased two for two different homes). We spent tons of money on them, but never regretted it for a moment. They had the best rain cover then available. Good for Chicago weather. I bet 20 years later they are still in the top 5 of strollers. I remember one particular thing I appreciated and that was the handles were nice and tall. I'm tall & I didn't have to stoop over to push.
Hi, We are planning to have a child sooooooon. After having twins 17 years ago it's going to be a real pleasure. Would love to try this as my last stroller weighed a ton, hard to unfold. This sounds so convient. Hope we baby & i get to try this one.
I would love to have one of these. I've hated every stroller I have ever bought which has been 6. My friend has one and it is so easy to push and store in the trunk. I have priced some on Ebay, but it seems as though people hold on to these for a long time, and you can't find any great deals. I have a 2 yr old that has outgrown all of the other strollers, but he still likes to ride in them. I have a 7 month old that is getting to be to heavy to sling anymore. I guess I'll keep searching for deals.
I like the model.Though the cost little bit high.Features are good.
I love this stroller. I push my 11 month old in it and I push my almost four year old in when she's super tired. I love the fact that it is built like a tank. We travel often and the baggage handlers aren't very careful and have broken other strollers...not this one. The recline is great too for sleeping kids. It's so easy to get around. The wheels aren't huge and you can get in and out of small spaces very easily. I can carry the stroller in one hand and my baby in the other going up or down stairs if necessary.
I would love to try this stroller!!!! I have a 14 month old and th estroller I have is a pain to take anywhere it is huge and heavy!!
Have heard mixed reviews - I would love to try it out as I have one on the way..
I have another brand of umbrella stroller that I am not overly impressed with. I have been hearing awesome things about the Maclaren from my online moms group and I would love to test it out!
I've heard such great things about this stroller and would love to test it out too see if it's worth it. I tend to always go with my full sized since it has the room and is more sturdy. I'd like to find a better light weight one, all of the other one's I've used seem like my daughter's behind is practically dragging on the ground. Poor thing, that can't be comfortable. I'll have to look into this one some more.
I have on ....and I just love it , east to fold nice look and easy to navigate and the price it reasonable
We have the Triumph as our stay in the trunk/take the train to the city stroller. It works ok for those purposes. I would never use it as our regular stroller, though, because I walk EVERYWHERE and the tiny wheels lurch to a stop on the slightest bump in the sidewalk. I suppose it would be a much better choice for you if you just used it in,say, the mall. My biggest complaints: we have the drink holder/bag attachment for the back since it has no storage and the whole stroller tips over from just a water bottle being in the holder (!). Also the sunshade is useless. We bought the double now that #2 has arrived and it's so cumbersome that we've only used it one time so far! It's easier for me to just put baby in the Ergo carrier and push #1 in our BOB revolution stroller (a DREAM!, by the way)
I don't know how i ever lived without my Maclaren LOVE IT, my son LOVES it plus very light weight and convenient to use. I recommend it to friends all the time.
I am a grandma and would love to test this stroller with my new grandbabay and another on the way.
the one i currently have is way too low for i am a tall person.
I have purchase many strollers in the last 4 years and this is my favorite. It is lightweight compact and easy to navigate in the store aisle.
I'm currently looking for a light weight folding stroller for an international trip I will be taking with my 1 year old. I would love to try this stroller out!
i dont own this stroller but would love to test one out..i have a 1 yr old and another on the way
Although a bit pricey you will love the quality of this stroller. Great for traveling cause it is lightweight. Worth the investment.
I love it. With 3 children & my middle being almost 10, starting over again was a change but to see how far stroller have come, it has been a blessing. It is so easy to use & I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With four kids I am always looking for something to make my life easier. I would really love to test this stroller.
I wish it reclined a little more
i have only read good reviews about this stroller, I have a 9-month-old baby girl and that was the stroller i wanted for her, but we ran out of budget, sooooo, we bought a cheap one from walmart and is already broken now i have to carry the baby in my arms wherever we go. I have to find another stroller, and as i said to my husband they could be cheap, but you get what you pay for.... i think we will have to dig on our savings to buy a stroller like this one, i know the investment is worth it
We used this stroller for about a week! The wheel locks kept getting jammed and all of a sudden, it decided to not fold up. I would not recommend this to anyone.
I love it! It's extremely light and easy to take on plane with!!!
I really love this stroller Its light weight, and easily folded. I love the design as well.
it is REALLY GOOD for travelling . I LOVE ITAS COLOURS
I bought this as it is super compact and I have a small car. (My nice SUV type stroller doesn't fit) :o( I think my little boy was spoiled by his first big, comfy stroller. He does not like this one much! He usually does not like to stay in it longer than 45 minutes. I think it is just uncomfortable for him. Its hard to nap in it and he usually likes to lean forward in his other stroller. Unfortunately there is nothing to lean on with this stroller. Storage is limited and there are no cup holders or extras. The seat is easy to wash which is nice! It is sturdy & turns on a dime too, compared to other strollers that seem shaky and wobbly. Its easy to fold and open when you get the hang of it. As much as my son doesn't like to stay in it for too long, I like it for quick trips around town.
Be careful though.... if you put your bags on the handles and take your little one out, the stroller with flip over as its so light.
I have a Maclaren and I love it. The wheels steer easily, smooth to push around, easy to pack up. It's barely larger then you're typical umbrella stroller, but sturdy and made for people taller then 5'4! (Thank you!) Well worth the cost.
I just the older model of this stroller but am excited to see how it works out. I've found that too often with the baby stuff I get the latest and greatest and my daughter ends up not liking it, but I've spent too much. I've only heard great things about the Maclaren, and I see them all around town.
Quick, easy to use, real easy to take along.
I always need a drink holder on my strollers for $175.00 I expect to find this.
Maclaren strollers are the best. They are lightweight, manuever great in those tight store aisles and have a pretty decent basket at the bottom. I have a MacLaren Ryder which is pretty similar. Only wish that it had a cup holder.
wow seems pricey, but i would love to test one out for our upcoming vacation.
At my job a lot of parents have this stroller for their children (I work with handicap children) These strollers are great and they are built to last, well worth the price!
Very much interested in testing out this product. I am in need for a more comforting and safe stroller for my taller than average 4 month old.

Love it! Easy to push & lightweight!
Looks very user friendly and nice and compact, I am always looking for a durable lightweight stroller
its lightweigt wat u want the most & convenient
This carriage, being that I have grand baby who will probably need a stroller my only concern is it srong ?being that she is a little fat cup cake ,she likes to grab at things, will she it turn over Etc. Etc. safety issue other it look Great
This sounds very interesting.
I have two children, one 3mths and the other 2.5yrs. I'm looking for a stroller that I will work with each of them when we are doing errands. I currently have a double stroller, but I'm looking for a single that can be left in my car for day to day outings and traveling. I'd ideally like something that is lightweight & versatile. This would be a great product to test out.
This reputable brand seems to be very popular. I like the style and size of the stroller. I would love to test it out!
not crazy about this stroller
I have a 3mo old that we are currently using the bulky Graco travel system. It works well but is very large and hard to move around tight stores. This one sounds very interesting and usefully being more lightweight and easier to move then what I have. I may have to check it out.
Love it!
would love to try this stroller. have a baby who is always up for a new challenge!
This seems like a neat stroller and I have heard of the brand before, I think it would be a perfect fit for my 23 month old.
Would love to give it a try.
I would love to give this stroller a try . I have a 4,3,2 and a 1 year old . It does not look as bulky as our full size one but it looks like is a lot better than our umbrella stroller. My husband wont use the umbrella one because its to short for his this one looks like its a little taller the color looks great too!
After reading all the reviews that say its great for tall people,, I dont want one ! I'm only 5'1 .
Love: lightweight, easy to maneuver, folds up with one hand and easily, carrying strap, stylish Don't Love: good size basket but hard to get to, and no cup for keys, coffee, etc.
I love it, it is lightweight, has a carrying strap, has stylish fabrics, is a good height for a 6ft tall Mom. However, my son is still getting adjusted to sitting so far back (in his Bumbleride stroller he sits upright and can lean forward more easily) and there is limited space for storage, no cup for drink, etc.
My girlfriend has one of these, and I've pushed it around quite a bit, and love the material, which seems lightweight, but very durable, as well as the quality engineering of the stroller, yet is so NOT heavy!
I've looked into this stroller for my soon to be 2yr. old, but they are a little too pricey for our budget, though.
We purchased one of these for the same reasons many people mentioned above. My husband chose it because it was one of the few strollers he didn't kick when pushing it.
I have the Twin Triumph. I love how lightweight and easy to manuever it is. But I wish it had more and easier to access storage space!
We have had this since our daughter was born 3 1/2 years ago and now use it with my son 10 months. Love how it is like an umbrella stroller but much sturdier. My only complaint is that I've found mine to be very hard to open and close. Definitely can't do it with one hand.
I have a similar McLaren except the fabric is more of a silver mesh material. I love it. It is lightweight, easy to push one handed and folds up very compact.
my friend has this stroller for her child and it's easy to push, i like it.
I have a 3 year old and another one on the way. This stroller looks comfortable and easy to maneuver through the isles of stores. I too have one of those bulky travel strollers that I used with my 3 year old and still do with the stroller part. This would be a good item to test out!!
I don't have one but it looks like it would be comfortable for the child to ride in. looks like it is lite and easy to push around.
I have the Maclaren Twin Techno. After buying and returning or reselling a few other strollers, in my opinion the Maclaren definitely makes the best double on the market. It feels sturdy & luxurious, it's light, and folds compact, and the sleek styling gets so many complements. I would love to try the Maclaren Triumph Stroller too. With an infant & toddler how great it be to have a single stroller my husband or I could use when we were out with just one of our babies!
niece i like it
This is the best umbrella stroller! Super sturdy, higher handlebars, and I love the convienent basket underneath!
