Would you get a Triumph or a Quest?
Now that you know the difference, which would you choose?
Which Maclaren stroller would be best for you, the more basic Triumph or the full-featured Quest?
Triumph
baby-strollers says:
The triumph is a sweet machine. Our has take an absolute beating.
Jen says:
I don't think the few added features of the Quest justify the price. It would be nice to add the seat extender to the Triumph as that is the only feature that seems particularly useful. We got the Triumph.
Amyji says:
The price is so vast between the two and reviewers say that the Quest really isn't worth it. The only thing I'd really be hesitant about giving up on the Quest is the seat extender for small babies.
Quest
Amyji says:
I just reviewed the Quest, you can see it on my video above. I love it! The extra features are worth the $40 more you pay.
j says:
I have both a Triumph and a Quest, and in my opinion the Quest is much better, despite the price difference. The inclination of the seat is higher in the Triumph and the kid is forced to lay against the back of the chair all the time, while in the Quest the kid can seat with its back straight and in a more active position.

go for quest
Nicole says:
The quest is worth the extra money, especially the seat extender when your children becomes a toddler or is tall.
WorldVisionary says:
The Quest... I love luxury!
