I've been looking for a good lightweight stroller to use for a 30 lb 2 year old and maybe a 40 pound 4.5 year old. Anticipating the need for trips to San Diego Zoo & Disneyland. Hadn't researched enough to make a decision yet, but saw a Triumph at TJMaxx. I bought it to check it out since I can return it if I change my mind. It was 129.99 (about $140 after tax!) The date label says 13 Apr 05, so I guess it's a couple years old model. It's red with a blue sun shade. After driving it around the house for awhile, I think it will suit our needs nicely. (I had also considered some Ingelsinas although had never seen them in person and large weight limit is good given my kids' ages.) Now I'm wondering if it is worth keeping at that price or if I should order one (newer?) from online stores or Ebay. Looks like Ebay sells for about $100 including shipping, and stores sell for 130-145. Are there any improvements with 06 and 07 models, or just color changes? Thanks for any advice.
Also 2 more questions:
What organizers/attachements are compatible and safe for use with this stroller? Would be nice to have a little more storage than just the basket.
Any clever ideas for ID'ing your stroller at a place like Disney where you park it and leave it unattended while riding? Is it best to put a big sign with your name on it or what? Or am I concerned about nothing?
Thanks in advance for your help.
