Maclaren Quest vs. Rockstar Candy

[Serendipitee]

I am trying to decide on which umbrella stroller to buy, now that my 6 month old son has almost outgrown his infant seat and snap n go. I know everyone loves their MacLarens, but if I can find a quality umbrella stroller that meets my needs for a little cheaper, I will do it. I am also concerned about the size of the basket under the Quest. I plan to use the stroller to keep in the car for shopping trips and hopefully for some travel. I have seen them both in person, but unfortunately not in the same store where I could compare side by side My other stroller is a Bumbleride Indie.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I have a review of the Candy on strollerqueen.com I am also working on a review of the Quest. The Candy reclines deeper, but is a couple of pounds heavier. It isn't as tippy as the Quest, but doesn't steer as well, either. The fold is pretty stiff at first; I had to oil mine a lot. I liked mostly everything about it, except for the wheels. They are really plastic-y. This may not bother everyone, though.
