Hi, I haven't posted on the stroller board before, so let me introduce myself. My name is Tina and I have a 3 yr old dd. We have had countless strollers (I am a bit crazy in this area
) and our last one that I though would be the last one was a Peg perego Pliko P3. I love a lot of things about it- like the canopy (The BEST coverage), the child tray, the wide, roomy seat and tall back (important for a big 3 y.o.) But the rear wheels are driving me crazy- they are always "bending" inwards a bit and need lubrication and constant attention. My daughter is 35 lbs and 38 inches tall. Supposedly, the Pliko P3 goes to 45 lbs. but, I have heard that after about 30-35 lbs. it is common that it becomes very hard to steer. I have to agree. It is also HUGE (huger than the older models)
So, I decided I will get a Quest because it is rated to 55lbs. (I called to double check) and it is supposedly easier to steer with a larger child even though I can't understand that with those tiny wheels!
Am I making a good choice? We use the stroller only on sidewalks and the mall, zoo, etc. No major treks or anything now that she is 3 and prefers to walk when possible. I am done having children and just want something that won't be a PITA to push around when we do need it. I know it has a "useless" sun canopy as some reviewers put it, but my dd will wear a hat and sunglasses- she is great about that!
I do NOT want a jogging stroller of any type, I debated about it for a long time, but it's not very good for travel as it will take up a lot of room in the car.
Any Quest owners out there??? Thank you!
