Which Buggy

Winnie

Trying to decide on a stroller for my 1 year old and have narrowed it down to Chicco Echo Stroller and the Maclaren Triumph.......anyone any thoughts on these?

ooooh tough one....the McClaren's shopping basket looks bigger but the Chicco is 30 quid cheaper. The one thing I will say about the mcclaren is though, my sister in law inherited one from her sister, so it's 11 years old now and it's still in full use. I've even used it a couple of times on mine, so they are durable.

Do neither of them come with foot muffs?

How old is your little one? Maybe they don't need a foot muff? I just find them handy in the winter time.

Another vote for McLaren here. We bought a well-used older model from adverts.ie a few months back. Stuck everything bar the frame into the washing machine to take off the layers of goodness-knows-what and it's going great since; everything still works and no damage obvious despite years of use (previous lady had 2 kids). Smallie likes it much more than the big Britax 3-wheeler as he's not as enclosed and can see more. Only downside is the tiny shopping net; things have been known to fall out of it, whereas the Britax one is much better.

Neither Petite Star Zia all the way in this house, would never buy a different stroller again.

I love Chicco... My guy is 5 and I still have the Chicco in the cupboard under the stairs, I loved that buggy... So easy to manoeuvre. I also had another Chicco buggy that lasted for years both my boys were in that and we passed it onto a friend and it's still in use it's 7 years old.

I would go for the chicco lite way. Single wheels at the front don't get stuck. Very easy to manoeuvre. Lite weight. Very handy for town

How Strange

The mcclaren stroller without a doubt. I got a quest secondhand including a footmuff and raincover and we pretty much use it all the time now.

My 3rd attempt at posting a reply.
The Petit Zia is probably the best of the strollers out there.

Thanks for all the comments but we went ahead and got the Maclaren
