Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller Review #1
Best double stroller ever!
I bought this stroller about a year ago. I LOVE it!
I tried several front-to-back double strollers, including the "sit-n-stand" type. I do not have twins, I have a 5 year-old with special needs and a (almost) 2 year-old, so the weight discrepancy was a nightmare. If I put my 5 year-old up front the front-to-back was impossible to push, especially up or across a hill. If I put my 5 year-old in the back, she literally tipped the whole thing over, twice. Plus, she still got tired and napped in a stroller, and the "sit-n-stand" did not allow her any seat-back support.
I cannot say how wonderful the Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller is! I have washed it, it still looks brand new! I can still push this stroller with one hand with one or both kids in it. (again with a 22 lb. difference in weight!) I have never met a door frame I could not get through. (Not so with several of my friends who chose other kinds of doubles.) I have never had trouble with my wheels (again, un-like other options). I love that I can take off the sun-hoods. I can get it in and out of my husband's Camry trunk ...unlike my front-to-back. It isn't particularly heavy, I can one-arm the Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller without much trouble. The ability to put each side up and down individually is great! It's also super-quick and easy...you can one-hand it down, but you need two to get it back up.
When I got it, I was concerned about the poke/pinch factor of the side-by-side vs. the front-to-back, and I have to say the side-by-side is more social and my girls don't get bored, so it doesn't turn as ugly nearly as often!
Anyway, I would get this stroller a hundred times over, and have recommended it to anyone who would listen! :) Hope you listen!
Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller Review #2
Best stroller for twins!
I purchased this stroller about two weeks ago to replace my Babytrend Double Snap N Go and it has far exceeded my expectations.
My twins are 4 months old and they love this stroller. My boys were getting too hot in their car seats in the Snap N Go and they are so much more comfortable in the Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller. They sleep very well in it and seem very happy in it.
The only downsides to this stroller I've found are the underneath compartments aren't easily accessible with the seats reclined and could stand to be a little larger. I purchased the Carbon Black organizer with this stroller and it does NOT fit the Twin stroller so please don't waste your money. The organizer was only meant for the single strollers. Cup Holders would have been nice but since it's easy to steer with one hand it's not a huge deal.
Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller Review #3
Love Maclaren - again!
I love this stroller! It's our second Maclaren - we have a single stroller too. Now that we have two boys - ages 11mos and 26mos - a lightweight, easy to maneuver stroller was a must.
*Good - holds up to 50 lbs on each side - watch that with other strollers if you have bigger kids, lightweight, easy to fold (I undo the metal parts, then lay it on its side and push it down - simple), very easy to steer (with one hand too - I sometimes am carrying one kid), and my sons love it - they like to recline in it (and one son is a handful!), great belt release - you have to push it in the front and back (my kid is crafty - but can't manage this), you can push it through doorways with one hand
*Not so good - kind of spendy, but I think it's a good investment if you can do it
Hope this helps!
Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller Review #4
Wonderful Double Stroller
I spent several weeks researching double strollers before deciding to purchase the Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller. I have two kids (a five month old girl and an almost 3 year old son), but my son is large for his age (38 lbs and 37.5 inches) and most double strollers we looked at only had a 40 lb weight limit per seat. I wanted to find a stroller that was big enough to accommodate him for at least another year or so, but would also push smoothly with uneven weights in the seats.
I also needed a stroller that would fit in our trunk (we have a Honda Civic) - I initially considered the Graco Quattro Tour Duo, because we have the Quattro Tour travel system and love it, but I couldn't fit the thing in my trunk. The Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller has been great - it's relatively easy to push (except, of course, over grass, but that's only to be expected since it wasn't designed for that), pushes fine even with only one child in the stroller, it's relatively easy to set up and fold, and it folds up almost as small as our Chicco umbrella stroller.
(Incidentally, the website here says that this product is recommended for 3 months and up, but I checked the Maclaren website and this stroller is okay for newborns. We've used this with our daughter since she was born).
Some cons: as other reviewers have noted, the canopies aren't very large and it would be nice if they would come down farther. We've also found the canopies to be a pain to snap into place, so generally we just put them on without snapping them in. The storage bins aren't very large, but I don't find that I use them all that often, so that hasn't been a problem. It would be nice if you could snap a car seat onto the Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller, so that you could use it with small babies without waking them up as you transfer them to and from the car, but very few lightweight double strollers allow you to do that.
All in all, we've been very happy with this stroller and thought it was a great value for our money.
Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller Review #5
Perfect for flying
If you have 2 kids, get the Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller because it makes flying a breeze. Even allowed my wife to travel solo from Chicago to Miami with a 6month old and a 2yr old. Folds easily and has really good style. The seats don't extend though like some of Maclaren's solo strollers.
