I have family that is looking for a lightweight stroller but a Mac is out of the price range for them. They love the ease of use and the headroom (for in recline mode) of it if this helps.

What is their limit? There are some steals on eBay for Macs and they have good resale value.

Have you checked craigslist?

FWIW, I have owned several Maclarens, and only one of them was purchased brand new, and that was a VOLO that was deeply discounted online.

Zooper Twist? I had a Zooper Rhumba and it pushed really well. I'd compare it to my Mac.

Here's a link to one on ebay

Yep daily even craigshelper hoping there would be one not too far away and they want to much money for them (have problems with them and to replace wouldn't be much cheaper in the long run)

I search all of US

You'd be surprised how many people are willing to ship!

I'm searching now, never thought about shipping out of curiosity how much do you think one could get for a hood/seat cover for a quest?

I would lean towards the pink one (sell) as it's too much pink and I know that they would rather have something more neutral in color

What is some differences between Triumph/Quest?

The Quest has a leg rest extension that comes out for a smaller child and mulitple recline positions, if it were going to be a main stroller I would go w/ that but for travel the Triumph would be fine. A new hood and seat pad are about $80 shipped from Mac.....so selling them $40 a minimum you could get, most likely. There also is a stroller swap on yahoo....Melissa might have the link. There were some deals here too recently http://www.babydealz.com/noname1.html
I haven't check it recently.

Other than Mac, Zooper would probably come in next and maube UppaVista?

I am sending you a PM, I have Techno but it might be more than they want in a stroller?

As a matter of fact I am on there right now looking for a MB of some kind.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StrollerSWAP/ (fyi: it could take up to a few days to get approved for access. Or it could take a few minutes )

Also what's your intake on the volo? I'm not sure whether an recline feature is super necessary. The stroller would be used for walks around the neighborhood and when going to amusement parks..

I wouldn't really recommend the Volo for amusement parks unless it was going to be used for an older kiddo just to hop in and out of to save legs. You most likely would want a reclining stroller for trips like that for a younger one.

I do have a Volo and happen to love it but mainly use it for quick errands. My 5yo still fits in it fine and we use it for her if we're out and she gets tired of walking.

You also might want to check out the Chicco Liteway. It's new this month & have the features you're looking for. I haven't seen it in any stores yet, but ordered one from Target for $129 & should get it next week. If I don't like it I'll be returning it to a store & getting a Mac Triumph off eBay for about the same $$$.

Sorry for all of the questions...But how is the coffee brown for material? And do you think the coral pink seat/hood set would sell well?
