is it me or does the seat seem to slouch? I have just changed from a bugaboo and seat doesn't seem to sit 'up'. i looked at the quest ( after I'd bought this one ) and it looks much better.

yes, I agree, the quest goes more upright than the triumph

I have a triumph and agree that the seat is designed badly.

I think a large part of the problem is that the place where the bottom part of the harness feeds through is far to far forward. My DS basically shuffles his bottom as far forward as he can and so ended up slouching really badly.

My local shoe repair place created another slot for me at the back of the seat - it is much better now!

Quest does have a better seat (extendable leg rest, better recline mechanism) but I'm not sure of its weight?

The current triumph which I have recently purchased, has a much worse seating position than several of my friends older versions.....I also have had several hood problems with it, am now on my 2nd buggy and 3rd hood since I brought it in March, anyone else encountered that?

Only bought it a few weeks ago (as it seemed to be really well reviewed in lots of places) so no problems with the hood yet, although it seems to fit a bit oddly - I don't like the fact that there is no window thingy in the hood either.

It does make my Loola feel like a tank though!

How depressing. Spent ages trying to overcome their dull colour range, but thought at least it would be a good pushchair! The only good thing is my little one (22mths) can't wriggle out of it like she did the bugaboo. Thanks anyway x
