Advice: Lightweight & Easy 2 Open Stroller 4 Toddler: Maclaren Quest? Other?

I love my Quest stroller. I usually keep it in my car and it's easy to open and close, pushes nicely, and I haven't had any problems with it. There is a decent sized basket underneath so I have room for my diaper bag. My son is pretty comfy in it and when he was younger, I liked that it could recline a little bit if I wanted him to sleep. It's a good stroller - I think you'll be really happy with it. All Maclarens are really good quality.

I'm not familiar with the Maclaren Quest, but know that most people are very happy with that brand.

I just wanted to talk up the toddler stroller I use: The Joovy Caboose Sit n' Stand. I love it, I love it, I love it, I do! It opens and closes like a dream, is lightweight yet sturdy, and can accommodate an infant and a toddler. It also allows the toddler the option to sit or stand on a platform in the back. I know that Joovy makes a double stroller version as well...though I have not used one first-hand.

So I own a very small, earth-centered shop on Cape Cod. What I pick to carry as products often are not well known, but are fantastic! These companies do NOT spend a lot on advertising, instead investing in a top quality product. I carry the Keekaroo Karoo Stroller - it is the same as MacLaren, but half the cost ($149.99)! Beautiful product that I bet you never heard of!

I was going for the Quest until I saw the Baby Jogger City Mini. It has a fantastic shade for S. FL. as it covers most of the stroller. It also folds in one swift move. It's so easy, you can fold it and put it in the car while holding your child at the same time. Never regretted my decision!

Love my Quest, the only problem is the shade isn't very big. but I am interested in what someone mentioned below about the extra shade they purchased. It would be worth it for how great the stroller is.

I was looking at the Quest, but I ended up getting the Baby Jogger City Mini because the shade is awesome!! It really keeps my toddler shaded and it folds with one hand and opens really easily, as well. It's so easy to push and I'm so happy with my decision. I would definitely take a look at it because I LOVE it!!!

I have a Mclaren stroller and the baby jogger city mini and hands down the baby jogger is WAY better in every way.

I used an umbrella stroller for both of my girls. It worked out great. It didn't take up any space so was very easy to carry everywhere.

My son is over 2 and I've been using my maclaren Quest since he was sitting, love it! Lightweight but sturdy, easy to maneuver and fold up with decent size basket. I keep it permanently in my car for outings, has been great, plus it's good quality so over a year later mine is still like new. If you ever find you need a tray (my son went thru phase where I could only keep him in stroller with snack), I found one online "strollermate" that attaches when you need it.

Hi,

I just purchased a Quest on ebay and LOVE IT!!! It's super lightweight and is also one of the few to have a higher weight limit (I think 45 pds). This is my 3rd stroller, and will be the last.

I also purchased a sun shade that extends pretty far. It has been a lifesaver on hot days, and is super cheap:

I have the peg perego aria and I love it. Weighs about 9 lbs and can be opened and closed with one hand. I can also lift it and toss into the back of my suv with one hand.
