- A guided tour of the 2012 Honda CR-VThe Honda CR-V's popularity is not in question. Consistently one of the best-selling (if not THE best-selling) compact SUVs year in and year out, the CR-V has also been a steady reviewer favorite. At the end of 2011, the latest iteration of this model landed in showrooms. We spent some time with it ourselves, and can say without hesitation that the CR-V […]
- Why you shouldn't diet like a celebrityWhile researching our report on the best weight-loss programs, we learned that the key to keeping weight off is making sustainable, long-term changes. If you don't address -- and adjust -- the habits that put the weight on in the first place, it'll just come right back. Still, it's hard to resist the lure of celebrity diets, plans that promise […]

- When it comes to tech, it's cool to be practicalCovering consumer electronics means wading through a lot of "ooh, shiny!" devices and "game-changing" innovations, many of which quickly fall by the wayside, replaced by something shinier and cooloer.

- House plants you can't killEven with the pleasantly warm weather this week in New York City (thanks global warming), it's hard not to long for a little green right about now.

- Phish of the day: Beware tax-season email scamsIf you've noticed an uptick of spam in your junk mail folder lately, you're not alone.

What is new this year is that a lot of the bogus em […]
- A new and (p)interesting way to shop onlineJust a year ago when I was moving into my first apartment, my cousin sent me an invite to a site she thought could help me shop for my new digs: Pinterest. I will admit: I played around with it, and I just didn't get it; I was overwhelmed by images and I found the interface cluttered. She said I was missing out on something great, and now I'm eati […]

- Are you buying a big-screen TV for the big game?Over the years, the Super Bowl has grown from just being a game for all the marbles at the end of the NFL season to a near-universal day of celebration and parties that even non-fans can enjoy. Sure there's the spectacle of the game itself, but watching all of those "can you top this" commercials has grown into its own national pastime. And no […]
- Hands-on with four good, cheap new carsI get to drive a lot of different cars throughout the year, and they run the gamut from Powerball-winner hardware to basic, affordable transportation. Sure, the glitzy stuff is a lot of fun, but some of the best new cars I've had the opportunity to try are also among the least expensive. This is good news if you want to buy a new car but have a modest […]
- Child seat belt safety: When to transition out of a boosterParents might breathe a sigh of relief when their children no longer need a bulky child car seat or booster, but they shouldn't exhale just yet.

- Inspired vegetarian recipes to chase away the winter bluesIn the dead of winter, with greenmarkets either closed or offering very limited selections of produce, it's all too easy to think that healthy, meat-free meals are out of reach.

- Should Google's new privacy policy worry you?"Don't be evil." Google's unofficial mantra sounds pretty noble, right?

Why do some think it's the end of privacy as we know it, and others just shrug their sh […]
- Can you trust online reviews?The issue of fake user reviews is nothing new. We blogged about it back in 2009 after a Wall Street Journal article exposed the practice by certain companies of having employees post favorable write ups to user-review sites, such as Amazon.com. Now, The New York Times has shed some light on something new, yet still the same: offering real customers financial […]
- DOT tries to put the "fair" in airfare pricingEarlier this week I booked a flight from New York to Miami. Even though JetBlue only flies to the nearby Fort Lauderdale, I couldn't pass up the advertisement in an e-mail sent to me: Book Today, $89 each way from JFK. When I went online to look up fares, I did not see that fantastic rate; instead the fares were through the roof with the flights I want […]

Review by Emily E for Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller, Scarlet and Silver

I’ve got a 2 year old and a 6 month old. I was looking for a double stroller that would accommodate both of them, while fitting comfortably in the trunk of my car. We do a lot of traveling, so having a stroller that fills my entire trunk just wouldn’t do. This stroller is working out great. When folded up It is actually smaller than the single Graco stroller we had before. It is nice and narrow, maneuvering really well in tight spaces (as compared to other double strollers). It also handles well, even with one side caring the weight of a large 2 year old and the other side carrying only a 6 month old. Even if my 2 year old wants to get out and walk a bit, it handles nicely while carrying only our 6 month old. Downsides? Well, the instructions for assembly were not great. They only gave diagrams, and a little extra clarification would have been great. Fortunately there wasn’t much to assemble. Also, opening it is a little difficult at first. You definitely need shoes on, cause you really need to jump on the leaver to snap it open. It does seem to be getting easier as it is being used though. Whether that’s the stroller loosening up, or the operator figuring things out, I’m not sure. Overall, excellent stroller.

I bought this stroller for my two — currently 2 years old and 2 months old. I’ve been using for two months and do not regret the purchase at all! It’s everything the descriptions says it is. Compared to the other double strollers out there, it is very light weight and compact when folded. It’s also exceptionally maneuverable. I can whip it around racks and thru doors one handed. I’ve done quite a bit of shopping with it and discovered that it does very well in the malls. It fits through all of the single door entrances in the mall — from the main doors to dressing rooms to restrooms. It also does just fine in most of the stores aisles. Some stores jam racks in so tight that it’s difficult to walk thru by yourself, regardless of having a stroller, but that can’t be helped.
I really debated about going straight to an umbrella-style stroller rather than purchasing a full size one.
The two drawbacks to doing that are this: can’t snap an infant car seat into the stroller and the small basket. I decided that these two drawbacks were worth it for several reasons. The basket wasn’t a huge issue because I realized I never used the basket much on the full size Graco single stroller that I had before. The diaper bag was always to large adn when I was shopping, my bags were usually too big as well. I just toss the bags on the handles of the Maclaren while I shop and unsnap the basket to stuff jackets, spare toys and extra blankets down there. I did purchase the Maclaren universal organizer for double strollers. It’s a great place to stash cell phones, toys, sippycups and drinks for mom! The car seat issue was a tough one because it is a nice feature to have, however, most babies get fed up with sitting backwards in the car seat after a few months anyway. My son wanted to see everything by the time he was 4 months and I quit using the carrier in his Graco as soon as he was able to sit up enough for the stroller seat. Since I was certain that I’d want a double umbrella anyway, I couldn’t see spending upwards of $200 on a full-size double stroller just to be able to use the carrier with it for four months and then spend more money on an umbrella. The seat reclines enough for my newborn to lay snugly in it. I did purchase JJ Cole Body and head support for her just to make sure she’s not slouching to the side, but she’s big enough now that she really doesn’t need it anymore.
A few other quirks I’ve noticed:It’s not quite as easy to open and close as my Maclaren single and my graco single. But, it may just be that I’m still getting used to it. Also, my 2 yr old is rather tall (37″), so his head is nearing the top of the seat. He still sits comfortably, but I sincerely doubt he will be able to sit in it for more than another year. It’s also a little narrow through the shoulders for him, but still comfortable. If he was a huskier child, it might be a tight fit.

We think this is a very good, sturdy stroller, with good material construction and ease of use. It collapses to a reasonable size, though collapsing it could be a little bit easier.
We read that the wheels are cheap, but we haven’t had problems. However, they are not the most rugged wheels, so if you are going to use this stroller heavily you may wish to upgrade to the next model which has rubber wheels.
Also, this stroller doesn’t have the extended sun shade that the next model up has. It does a good job of blocking sun, but you’d need an extender for complete protection. Again, I believe the next model up has the extenders built in.

Was easy to assemble. Just had to add the cover/hood. Once you figure out how to release the straps, it’s a piece of cake. Straps move up and down easily for when you lay them down. Plenty of storage in the bottom and little pockets (good for diapers and wipes). Maneuvers very easily. Folds up nicely, and is so light. The only drawback, is that the front of the hood/cover has black marks rubbed on them-but I don’t really care. Love the way the back folds down and easily assembles back up.
The directions are easy to follow and have pictures for every step-just look for them in the back.
And remember, this is not a jogging stroller, so you will feel the bumps as you roll over sidewalk cracks. However, I love that it fits through any door. I mean ANY door. The best purchase ever.

Great undercarriage storage! My right outside wheel doesn’t work and it doesn’t have a beverage holder, that aside I am crazy about it!
