I have a 2 year old DS and am looking for a good lightweight stroller. We have a Combi and hate it. I'm debating between the Volo, Triumph and Quest. Any recs/pros and cons. I know the Volo doesn't recline. That is the only con I have found.
I have the Quest and really love it. I bought a triumph and returned it because the recline was very minimal. If recline was not an issue-i'd be totally into the volo--the lightest and cheapest of the bunch, but still a well made Maclaren!
I bought a Triumph when DS was 6 months old and loved it, he never had any problems sleeping in it and actually preferred it over the full recline jogging stroller for napping. Went to NYC for a long weekend last month and DS *forgot* to pack it, aaah thats what I get for leaving it up to him. Anyway bought the Volo in a pinch and love it! it's sooooo light and super easy to push, DS has taken naps in it but is a bit to old to stay in a stroller for long periods of time. I haven't touched the Triumph since we got back.
We have the Volo and the Quest. Both are great strollers!! I use the Quest most often because that is what I keep in my car (the Volo is in DH's car). If you don't think you need the recline, then go with the Volo; if you use the recline a lot, definitely get the Quest.
I have a Quest and I love it! If I were buying a new one for my 2yr old then I would probably go with the Volo. I have never used the recline feature and I've used my Quest since Jack was 3m old. He's now 30m. I like the size and comfort the Quest has given my boy over the years. If you aren't planning on any more kids then go with the Volo.
