I can't keep track of just about all of the stories I have heard about parents who buy inexpensive umbrella strollers - simply to 'have to' buy a completely new stroller weeks later.Personally, i fall into this group... My umbrella stroller from Jeep fell apart -- the footrest snapped and one wheel broke - leaving me and my daughter high and dry. We replaced my broken umbrella stroller with a Maclaren stroller which, unlike my past stroller, was created to last. Maclaren is really a stroller manufacturer from England who is known for their high quality products.

The Maclaren Triumph stroller, made with strong lightweight aluminum, is really a bare-bones umbrella stroller which has a reclining seat. The key advantage which Maclaren offers with all of their strollers may be the quality and sturdiness of the materials they often use. I have owned the Maclaren Volo stroller for 4 years and it looks and functions as though it was brand new.The handles on the Triumph baby stroller aren't common for an umbrella baby stroller, they're ergonomically made to accommodate moms and dads of various heights. Additionally they have foam padding that tends to make it relaxing for parents to stroll.

The wheels on the Triumph baby stroller are small , plastic, there's really no shock absorption with this particular stroller - so you will find yourself leaning to even surfaces.The actual wheels do swivel so your own turning radius is pretty remarkable. My personal daughter loves to be spun around as well as around in her stroller. The swiveling wheels lock if you want a bit more control - however this is a feature that I by no means use.

The seat on the Triumph stroller is actually removable - it may be removed and tossed into the laundry to be cleaned. The seat reclines using a nifty draw-string-like device -- therefore you can customize your perfect angle of recline.A few moms and dads reported that the seat doesn't recline 100% flat nor does it sit up right. However most mothers and fathers, generally, loved this particular feature.

The canopy, or hood, around the Triumph stroller is made out of high top quality water resistant material.The coverage that it provides is at par with other outdoor umbrella strollers... which is pretty minimal.Thank heavens that a rain cover, along with substantial coverage, comes standard with the Triumph. Triumph strollers collapse and unfold wonderful. Maclaren calls it a five second fold... I would call it a two second fold.Pull up on one latch, step on another as well as drop the actual stroller - that's it!The stroller automatically locks in the folded placement.And with its carry strap you can whip this bad boy over your back and off you go.
