I purchased this stroller from Babies R Us thinking that it would be a great lightweight stroller instead of that heavy travel system. I first noticed that I hated this stroller was when my son and I were in the parking lot of the bank and I could not get it to close for the life of me. It was the summer and about 90 degrees outside. I was panicking. I had to call my husband so he could talk me through closing it. How terrible. That was just the beginning. Every time I closed this stroller I would pinch my fingers.

Another thing that I do not like about this stroller was the fact that my son could not sit upright all the way. He would always be in the reclining position. It didn't go all the way up. That is the design of this particular stroller I guess. I don't understand why though. My son likes to look around and see his surroundings so that annoyed him as well as me.

The front of the stroller has just a bar. No cup tray or snack tray for him to put anything on. The bar was ok to keep him in but that's about it.

The harness was also something that I did not like. It didn't expand enough to fit around my son comfortably. I always felt that he was squished in their.

The basket underneath the seat is ok. Enough room to put your diaper and bottle bag. I didn't have anything to not like about that.

I bought this stroller thinking it was going to be great and it wasn't. I was very disappointed. Please do not buy this stroller if you are still shopping around.

I have heard great things about the MaClaren. I haven't tried it myself just yet but I hope to in the future. I hope it is better than this one.

Are you sure it was the Britax Triumph? I cant find a product from them called the Triumph. Evenflo has a Triump.
