Comparison chart here, you need to click thorough the tabs to see all the info.

brilliant, thank you.
they look fairly similar really, only difference being adjustable leg rests and 'window' through rain cover thing.
thanks so much.

We've got the triumph. If your dc sleeps in the buggy I would go for the quest, it reclines further and there is an extendable leg rest

I've got a Quest and it's grand.

depends on age of dc and whether its your main buggy, i'd rather have a quest if for younger toddler or baby. basically legrest, viewing window and reclines a bit more i think? (but not sure on the recline)

thank you, ds does occasionally sleep in it, so i think we'll go for the quest.
thanks for your help

nicolamumof3 - for 14 month old ds (we have pliko, but i am getting fed up with it being so cumbersome now).

oh yes you will love quest then unless you are v.tall (handles may seem low) i am selling a lovely lulu guinness one, on for sale boards!!

Would def recommend trying it out first too if you can. We have Quest and it's great except I am tall and find handles a bit low. Also the brake on ours is, frankly, useless but I think they have improved this now.

The leg rest is good but as they get older it tends not to stay extended very well. My DD is nearly 2 and her legs are really too long for the leg rest but she still likes to use it, trouble is she only has to wriggle her legs around a bit and the extenders on the leg rest start to go inwards and it goes back down again (does that make sense?). Not a big deal, I know, but it's useful to know these things!

Otherwise it's really nice and light, easy to push and reclines well.

likessleep · 17/01/2009 14:43

well you see dh is 6ft2, i am 5ft1, so difficult to find one good for both of us! but i will use it more, so i think my vote should 'win'
