Maclaren Techno XT Buggy

Maclaren Techno Quest Sport ·Hope this review helps if you are thinking about buying a new stroller. ·The title is my hubby's own words as he saw a large box being delivered to my house. I was hoping it would arrive when he was at work and I could sneak my purchase in. My husband in disgust thought I had gone over the edge with spending as I own three other forms of infant transport. He really could not comprehend my need for another buggy. However after owning this a few months now, he is glad I did make that initial purchase. · Bear in mind this is a stroller. I currently have a pram, a tandem buggy and an umbrella buggy. ...  Read the complete review

I may not be queen of the jungle but I may well just be queen of pushchairs well or so to speak. I have 2 sons and in there time of being babies they have had there fair share of pushchairs. With my eldest I had 2 but with my youngest son I have had 3. The first pushchair I had was a Mamas & Papas travel system and to be honest it was a complete let down and to make it worse there customer care was absolutely atrocious . Not only was there pushchair rubbish but worse they were not prepared to do anything about it. So of I trotted to my local baby shop to buy a replacement and decided there was no way I was ...  Read the complete review

When I was looking for a light weight umbrella fold buggy five years ago it soon became clear that Maclaren was a very popular choice. I bought one and found out why as Maclaren for me are the name in buggies - it turns out that the idea of the buggy was invented by one Owen Finlay Maclaren, a British ex test pilot and an aircraft part designer. Maclaren actual invented the buggy though their buggies (or buggys as their website annoyingly spells it) are much copied. On to this actual buggy - now when I bought my buggy I did actually buy the quest, at the time I was torn between the Quest and Techno and I am sure that this would be the case for many a buggy ...  Read the complete review

I bought this buggy when I was pregnant with my little girl. Although we had a pram with a car seat I needed something smaller which was suitable from birth which would fit in my car. At the time I only had a Fiesta and my main pram wouldn't fit in my boot. I chose the Mclaren XT because at the time it was one of the only umbrella style buggies where the seat would lay completely flat and therefore, making it suitable for a newborn. I also liked the colour of the buggy. I chose the Charcoal colourway and it was very modern and clean looking. The buggy itself was very sturdy and didn't have that cheap wobbly feeling that a lot of ...  Read the complete review

I've tested lots of prams and buggies in my time (some were for a magazine feature) and I thought I had clear views on what was the best out there. I was wrong as i've just ditched my old stroller for the XT. The XT is a lightweight, compact umbrella fold stroller that will stand the test of time. A good friend of mine has had hers for years and she takes it abroad regulary and it's still in good working order. It has a multi recline seat; the covers are removable; the hood extends with a sun visor so you can shade the child in the sun or protect more from light rain without putting the rain cover on. The rain cover is basically a sheet that ...  Read the complete review
