Maclaren twin strollers--recommend?

schnappycat

I don't quite have 2u2, but pretty close so I thought I'd ask here. I have been debating to get a regular double (we have a double BOB for hiking) for malls, etc., but I think we need to bite the bullet. So I am researching right now. DD is still in the carrier most of the time with the single Maclaren (while DS walks), but should be able to use a stroller soon. I don't think a Phil & Ted's will work for us because DS would hate the low seat. Similarly, I think he would hate a Sit N Stand because he'd be RFing with the jump seat. Anyhow, how are the Maclaren twins? It seems there are 2-- the Triumph and the Techno. Anyone have these? Pros/cons? I can't really tell the difference aside from the Techno being a bit larger. 

Or any other suggestions would be great. TIA! 

Oh, and the City Select looks awesome, but I don't think DS will be in the stroller for too long, so I don't want to invest THAT much money.

I have the Maclaren Twin Triumph.  I love it and its THE stroller I use for air travel.  It's lightweight and folds up small.   It's easy to get up on the TSA counter and fits through all doorways at only 30 inches wide.  It does get exhausting to push long distance though.  I thought it was going to kill me at Disney but I had a 4 year old, 2 year old and was 20 wks pregnant.  The basket is small but works for us.  I used it for my NB and it lays back pretty well.   Overall I really like it.  I also have a BOB duallie and a double Graco (which I only use for the infant carrier).

How tall is your DS?  I think the Techno is slightly taller.  Diapers.com had close outs of the Techno and you could use the 15% off for new customers.

Thanks for the info! 

Oh, and DS isn't terribly tall--probably only around 35-36" now.

I have the twin techno and love it! My only complaint is that the cup holder is useless. But overall it is a fantastic stroller and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
