As a replacement stroller this pushchair has served its purpose. It is very easy to use with an increasingly heavy toddler. i brought this pushchair because it was light.
As a city dweller who is very reliant on public transport I appreciate how easy it is to get around with this pushchair. It' s small enough to comfortably fit on a bus with a child in and not get in the way of other passengers unlike some of the bulkier travel systems, and is also very easy to fold and carry as well as holding a small child, something that is not always easier for slight woman of 5'3". The handy strap on the back is a good plus point.
I have a nineteen month gap between my children and am now beginning to use the triumph with a buggy board almost as much as my double buggy. I do miss having a sturdier stroller for regular use with a smaller child and wouldn't recomend this one for younger babies despite Maclaren's age rating. Their is very little support at the back due to lightweight nature of this design and the change between two postitons is negliable, a feature which is annoying when transporting a baby who still takes long naps. The brakes are also impossible to fathom out, no swift click of the foot as with other models, so you either need to hold it or wedge it up against something to stop it slipping.
The Triumph is normally £70 and but promotional discounts or on-line purchasing can bring this down to around £60. Having borrowed a friend's mothercare stroller which was nearly half the price though I would recommend the Triumph as a second pushchair. The difference in ease of movement is noticeable and in my opinion is worth spending the money on.
Not so much a Triumph as a treat.

I now wish I'd spent more money than buying this. Have been using ours for about 9 months and the brake drives me mad! Cx
