Maclaren Twin Triumph vs Techno? Pros & Cons...which do you have?

Lina1030

I am trying to decide between these two....

the techno is more expensive, more padded, has leg rest, larger sun canopy, canopy extends higher, a little taller, couple pounds heavier, bigger wheels, multi recline position, cupholders....not sure what else I am missing. I forgot the weight capacity and width.

the triumph is a little cheaper, less padded/comfy, reclines a tad bit more but different latch system to recline (belt vs autoclick), tiny bit shorter, little bit lighter, smaller wheels, no cupholders, smaller canopy...again I forgot weight capacity and width of seats.

so which do you have?  would you have preferred one over the other if money wasn't an issue? what do you love/not love about the one you have?

any sites worth shopping on to get a good discount on them?

We haven't used it yet, but we got the twin techno, and for many of the reasons you mentioned.  The techno also reclines enough to use w/newborns, though we have a DSNG.  I had planned to get the single techno XLR for travel (over the basic techno or triumph or quest) and then when we found out we had two, it was a no brainer.  I got a great deal on ours on Gilt.com ($230 vs. $380).  Either look for a deal online or use a 20% off coupon at a store, if you are looking to get the techno for the triumph price.  GL!

awesome deal you got! I vaguely remember this...how long ago was it on gilt?

I think we had the triumph and it was really nice. We sold it when DD1 decided she was too big to ride in a stroller, but this was the best double stroller (we tried several) that we had. I bought a previous years colorway for less at albeebaby.com.
