maclaren triumph stroller review and giveaway

I love me a nice stroller but finding one that has all the qualities you need is hard to come by. Lightweight, transportable, comfortable for baby and easy to carry around.
I was recentl;y sent the Maclaren Triumph and now we take it everywhere.
When making quick trips to store or in the mall where space between clothing racks a huge a big stroller can just get in the way but not the Triumph.
The 11.5 stroller is definitely light weight and since it has a long carry strap it's nice to be able to fold it up and throw it on your back when at Disney getting on and off the trains.

I define the Triumph as an umbrella stroller with style. This is not your regular run of the mill umbrella stroller for sure.
Maclaren has put features that you normally only get with huge buily strollers.

• 5 point harness
• Multiple position reclining seat
• Rain resistant hood
• Rain cover included
• One step break system
• Washable seat
• Compact fold

The 5 point harness is great with the thick straps. You can adjust the height of the straps so you get the perfect fit depending on your child's height. the only complaint I have is it's really hard to release the buckle. I brought this up to my rep and she said it is like that on purpose so kids can't undo it. Once learning the buckle was made to be hard I have learned to love it.

To release the buckle you have to push the front and back of the circle. I have found that instead of pushing directly in the center focus your attention on either the left or right side. Pressing on the left side (front and back) then on the right (front and back) one at a time tends to work a lot better.
One feature I love is how easy I can maneuver this stroller even with one hand. Even when Makenna (6 1/2 years old) sits in it I barely feel a difference in weight.
Even at almost 7 years old Makenna has plenty of room to relax and lots of headroom



Gotta love my photography skills.

 

As you can see the hood is round and quite large. Just in case you can also purchase a seperate sun cover that provides extra protection. The hood is water resistant so I love not having to worry about stains on the pretty fabric. The Maclaren Triumph comes with an included rain cover that easily attaches to four bolts sticking out from the side of the hood and on the side of the foot rest.

Like other umbrella strollers there aren't any cup holders for mom, dad or baby but you can purchase a Universal Organizer which has 2 cup holders and a smaller pocket to put your keys and phone in and a larger mesh pocket for toys.

We absolutly love this stroller and highly recommend it if you're looking for a lightweight compact stroller. If you visit theme parks often like we do then Maclaren strollers is a must in your stroller collection.
You can now purchase on Maclaren's Online Store with FREE shipping!!
