I purchased the Maclaren Quest Mod stroller for all of our airline travel. This stroller is really perfect for that. It folds easily and very compactly. This is important when you are trying to fit it in the rental car or through the x-ray machine at security!  I have had no problems checking it at the gate, and I don't use the travel bag. Ok, the pros...first, the weight. I really appreciate having such a lightweight stroller...it is just over 13 pounds. And the fold much easier than any stroller I have owned. I love how small it becomes when folded, it can fit just about anywhere. For its size, the stroller is very comfortable, more padding than I expected and the legs rests are great. I also love the mod circles print, it is very "hip" for a baby product! I have found this stroller very easy to steer, even one-handed (which is a VERY important feature to me!). As for cons...my least favorite thing about this stroller is the tippiness. The handles are great to hang things on, but when my child is out of the stroller, it will tip. I use a backpack diaper bag when I have this stroller, and that is one less thing I have to hang on the handles. The wheels are smallish, and this stroller is really best for indoors. It does not do well on dirt, sand, or uneven sidewalks. And also the sunshade is very small, you will need to buy an additional sunshade in the summer if you use this outdoors. Overall I am happy with my purchase. This could not be my only stroller, but complements my P3 very well. I have found that I can really only use it when we travel and need a stroller for short amounts of time. For longer periods, my son prefers the comfort of the P3, the snack tray, etc. But the plushness of the Quest is great for those times when I need to get out and go quickly. This stroller has found its place in my lineup!

This stroller is amazing. I can steer it with my pinkie holding a latte in my other hand, going up a curb. Well, slight exaggeration, but barely. This stroller has amazing steering. I had a graco previously, and it was hideous. I would crash into walls with it....The only downsides of this stroller are that 1. it doesn't have full-recline, so you can't use it with a newborn. My daughter had good head-control and we used it from about 2 months. She is 13 months now. 2. It doesn't have a ton of storage, but the small basket underneath does come in handy--it's a trade-off for the light-weight, compact nature of the stroller.I absolutely love it and would not trade it for any other. I've used it shopping and outside in the city (Atlanta). Not great for off-road walks--a jog stroller is better for that.

This is a great lightweight stroller. It is my easy in, easy out stroller. For quick trips to the store, this stroller can't be beat. I love the quality, the extendable leg rests. Very comfy to stroll with. Storage is limited but I can still get a lot in it, key is to pack underneath the seat too. I don't expect this stroller to hold much since it is a light weight stroller. It can be tippy if something heavy is places on the handles. Overall, this is a great second stroller. I don't think it could be my one and only, but this one is probably my most used stroller since it is so light and easy to open and close. Great when I am in a hurry!
