5.0 out of 5 stars Great lightweight stroller!!, September 8, 2010

This review is from: Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller, Black/Scarlet (Baby Product)

My husband and I recently took a $20 umbrella stroller from Target with us on a several month long trip and when we returned, purchased this stroller in charcoal/silver. On our trip, we became quite frustrated with the shortcomings of our cheap stroller and talked with several other parents who had the Maclaren Quest or other Maclaren strollers and spoke highly of these strollers. I did thoroughly read reviews before making my purchase and also considered several less expensive, but comparable brands, but ultimatley went back to the Maclaren Quest and am so glad that I did. In addition to the cheap umbrealla stroller (which looking back now, I am glad I did not spend much money on), I also have a Chicco Cortina stroller that came with the travel system. I found nothing particularly "wrong" with the Cortina, but didn't like the bulkiness and impracticallity for use while traveling.
I truly think that your satisfaction with this stroller will be guided by your expectations of it. You have to keep in mind that this stroller is built to be lightweight and fold very compactly (while at the same time not compromising seat comfort, storage, etc.), and is in a totally different class than trendy, stylish strollers such as the Quinny or Bugaboo or than traditional strollers such as those that come with travel systems. For a lightweight, compact stroller, the storage is pretty good....no cup holder, but I will just put a water bottle and my son's cup in the back or bottom storage compartments. Getting stuff into the mesh storage basket can be a bit of a tight squeeze, but that also means that stuff will not fall out easily, either. I can open and close the stroller with one hand and even holding my toddler in one arm if I don't have any help. Having one break pedal can either be viewed as a good or bad feature, but I tend to like it after having two other strollers with individual breaks. My husband is tall and I am short and we both find the stroller's handle height comfortable. My son seems very comfortable in this stroller and the buckle is very substantial and child-proof. I really like having a chest harness as it prevents my child from leaning forward to try and touch the wheels. My only concerns for the future are the wheels, which seem a bit flimsy. Knowing that the wheels were going to be flimsy and that the stroller didn't fully recline almost made me purchase the Techno XT, but I just couldn't justify the price difference (also the Techno XT is much heavier than the Quest). Maybe I could have justified the price had I never bought a travel system stroller to start with, but live and learn! Hopefully the wheels will hold up in the long run and if not, that I will be able to find replacements. I hope that my review is helpful and that you enjoy your Maclaren stroller as much as we have.

This review is from: Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller, Black/Champagne (Baby Product)

I debated which stroller to buy via online reviews and decided to just go to a big box store and take a look at them. The store only carried Maclaren, Jeep and Chicco (no UPPAbaby or Britax). Here is what I found:

I looked at the Maclaren Quest, Triumph and Volor, Jeep Reclining Umbrella, Chicco C6. I narrowed it down to the Quest and Triumph and ultimately picked the Triumph based on color =)
Maclaren Triumph Stroller, Charcoal/Silver
Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller, Coffee/Sky Blue
Maclaren Quest and Triumph: Very similar to each other, differences noted here. Both reclines to same spot, Quest only has two positions, Triumph can be reclined to any position between fully upright and fully reclined. That said it doesn't recline all that much. The two positions on the Quest would be sufficient. My four month old (13lbs) fits fine in either stroller. I did add a padded headrest (the ones they sell for car seats) just to make her a little more secure. The stroller still folds up with the headrest in it. The Quest has an extended foot pad. It will keep wind, etc... off babies legs once they are long enough to hang off. The actual seat size isn't any different. The big functional difference between the two is that the Quest had a pocket on the canopy (between the handles). The pocket is large enough to hold a wallet, cell phone and keys (not much else). Has a velcro closure. Quest also has a couple of small side pockets - not sure what you would put in them though. You can buy stroller organizers for $20 that will attach to the Truimph which include zipper pockets and cup holders.
Maclaren Volo Stroller, Black
Maclaren Volo: Is 2 lbs lighter than Quest and Triumph. The thin mesh seat made me nervous about how well it would hold up and that it would be too cold for baby on slightly chilly days. Also doesn't recline. For $30 more I thought it was worth the recline feature and slightly heavier/cushier seat. The weight savings didn't seem all that significant over the Triumph or Quest.
Jeep All-Weather Reclining Umbrella Stroller, Pink
Jeep Umbrella Stroller: Just felt junky and not well made.
Chicco Ct0.6 Capri Lightweight Stroller, Tangerine
Chicco: Felt relatively high quality but at 5'7" I kicked the wheels while walking. Wouldn't be able to stand that. The blue and black are cute but the orange is hideous and I love orange. It is a very bright almost neon orange. Nice that is comes with a carrying bag.

Wish I could have looked at a Britax and UPPAbaby but I liked the Maclaren so much that I decided to just go with it!
UPPAbaby G-Lite Stroller, Jake
UPPAbaby G-Luxe Stroller, Denny
Britax B-Nimble Stroller, Red

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have, July 4, 2011

This review is from: Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller, Black/Champagne (Baby Product)

We have a 6 month-old baby and I have tried/owned a variety of strollers (Uppa Baby Vista and G-Luxe, Bugaboo bee, and finally MacLaren). The Vista is a fantastic stroller, but my baby never really liked the bassinet, and because of its weight, I was never taking it in the car or on the plane. The Bee is a more travel-friendly stroller and we took it overseas, but its uneasy fold got tiring as well.
In the end, the Quest is the only stroller we ever want to use:
- It fits in the trunk of my Mini Cooper (G-Luxe was too long)
- It is lightweight and truly a one hand fold (G-Luxe took two hands)
- With the strap, I can carry the stroller and the baby at the same time
- It is nimble, even though grass is not its forte, but great enough for all I need to do (city sidewalks, stores, parks, airplanes, restaurants...)
- It is fantastic on steps, and easy to carry in stairs (well, easier than with most strollers)
- The hood has a clear window to check on baby
- The harness buckle is easy to use
- My baby likes the reclining seat even though it's not completely flat.
- The hood has a roomy back pocket that's great to hold keys, wallet, etc...
- It has a small footprint
- The quality of the fabric and construction are impressive

It does have some cons, as any other stroller.
My biggest grievance is about the sunshade. Why isn't it bigger? We always have to tie a muslin blanket to properly protect baby. It's a shame that it doesn't come with a rain or mosquito cover. The basket is somewhat small and all together unaccessible when the seat is at its maximum recline.

But all in all, it is our go-to stroller. It's the perfect all-around stroller. Because baby is our first-born, I tried to buy the perfect stroller, ended up with several that still frustrated me, while all of our needs would have been met with a MacLaren. With a newborn, I would recommend investing in the Techno XLR because it fully reclines and you can add a car seat. I wish I had known that before getting the Vista or the Bee. But baby is old enough that we don't need those extra features anymore. I didn't pick the Triumph because my baby seemed more comfortable with the extended footrest, and the back window is a necessity for me.
I have friends who like me invested in heavy strollers for their newborns, but after trying my Quest, they have all agreed that it is a "must-have". I sold the Vista, the Bee is now collecting dust, so it's probably going to go too. Since we got it, the Quest is the only stroller we need and want to use.
