Quest and Vogue Owners...Help!

[abbysmom]

Just returned from USA Baby and am thinking to get a Quest or Vogue for my 7 month old. But, the Vogue seemed to swallow her. I realize that it has better recline positions and more padding, but she was sitting sideways in it and could not seem to get straightened out. I like the features, but left thinking that I might want to Quest instead, as it seemed to be a better fit for her. If anyone can speak to these issues, please do! I will be using this as my errand (in and out of the car) and travel stroller.

I want something good with lots of features, but learned this weekend that she can probably be fine in a MAC without the napper bar, as she loved the cheapo umbrella from BRU that my MIL had at the beach. I am also curious as to whether the Quest 2003 is much better than the 2002, as USA Baby has last year's model on sale. Thanks.

I have last year's Quest. I really love it (and I have gone trough maaany stollers). It reclines and with the extendable legrest my DD naps comfortably in it. I have heard that this year's model reclines a little more, not sure though.
I wanted a lightweight, compact stroller with reclining seat at the Quest was the right choice for me. If the wheels were bigger, the stroller wouldn't fold as compact. There is not one single thing (other than the price) to complain about.

I have last year's Vogue for my 9 month old and we both love it. I also like the Quest and considered buying the 2003 model but I found my Vogue on sale. You can't go wrong with either stroller. Go for the sale!

HTH:)

Can't help much with the vogue as i have a 2002 but i do know it's wider in the seat than the quest so this could be why your baby was leaning off to the side.

As to quests i have a 2003 what they changed was, more recline, hood pocket, removable padding, carry handle.

Whether the differences between the quests are worth it depends on you, for us i wanted the 03 features.

Pamela..

Thanks for your help. Can you also help me understand why you have both the Vogue and the Quest? I was thinking that I could make do with the Quest. I had orginally planned to get the Vogue, as I felt that it was more of a full service deal (minus the napper), but it seemed to be too big for an infant. Ironic, huh? My daughter is 8 months old and average size, but she seemed to be all over the place. I would love to know if I need to reconsider the Vogue to get the added features. Thanks!
