Maclaren Techno XLR My Trusty friend!

Advantages: Lays flat, sun protection in hood, sturdy, looks good
Disadvantages: Small amount of storage, rain cover doesnt cover hood

I bought the Maclaren XLR when my daughter reached 18 months as she was too big for her pram and I wasnt keen on the smaller umbrella buggys. What first attracted me to the buggy was the colour and design I thought it look very stylish and alot nicer than the brighter pinks and flowery ones that are on the market. I was also attracted to the SPF 50 protection that the hood provides as I was going abroad shortly after buying it so was a big plus point. ...
...in use occassionally now (my daughter is 3 years 3 months so does more walking now) I liked the way it lays flat and so is really cosy for them to sleep in and also the foot muff and lovely lining really make it that much warmer in the winter. The buggy folds down really easily with the push of a lever and clips together and has a handle to carry it along. It is still quite bulky in comparision to an umbrella buggy but it is a much wider and taller ...

Maclaren Triumph Triumphs!

Advantages: Lighweight & compact!
Disadvantages: Not many reclining positions!

I bought the Maclaren Triumph stroller as a lightweight, more convenient method of transport for my little boy. I felt that there was no longer a need to take the travel system pram everywhere, and the Maclaren Triumph turned out to be the perfect replacement. The Triumph is very lightweight and compact, and even comes with a shoulder strap so that you can close it up and sling it over your shoulder when not in use ... that's how lightweight it ...
...have big feet. The Maclaren Triumph does have a couple of faults though in my opinion. The seating position only has 2 different positions, upright and reclined, and even the reclined position is fairly upright. Also the stroller has toppled over on a few occasions, when unoccupied, due to the weight of a pram bag attached to the handles. Apart from these flaws, the Maclaren triumph has been a great buy. Easy, lightweight and compact, and does ...

fab pram

Advantages: great to push great for twins and toddlers
Disadvantages: brake is easily broken. no seperate raincovers

MACLAREN TWIN TECHNO --- Great pram for those shopping trips fits through most standard door ways as its only 76cm wide. Its a realy good puschair and it comes in a variety of colours and designs, it has two seperare hoods so one can be down and the other can still be up whichis great. Also unlike some double prams you also get the two footmuffs with this and the raincover so you dont need to go buying all the extras! I found it realy light aswell ...
...baskets And of course the Maclaren prams are known for being one of the best around there very sturdy and last a very long time. BAD FEATURES --- I havent actually found many with this pram the only one i found is that the raincovers arent seperate and the brake is easily broken at the back but other than that its great. For two babies/children of the same or different ages Suitable from birth Fits through standard door Lockable front swivel ...

Maclaren XT versus the Quest - buggy showdown!

Advantages: XT could be the only buggy you ever need
Disadvantages: Check and see if it is too high

...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. I have to say it is a shame that the buggies are no ...
...now made in China. Maclaren is a British company though and aftersales service for all their buggies is, in my experience, excellent - on their webpage there is a link to licensed repair agents and main parts can be replaced and they are helpful if you ever need to call them as I did for a broken buggy snuggle zipper which was replaced with no problems. On to this actual buggy - now when I bought my buggy I did actually buy the quest, at the time ...

Review of Maclaren Europe Limited Techno XT

Ok for twins or young siblings similar ages

Advantages: small, light, umbrella fold
Disadvantages: small shopping tray

I bought this pushchair as a smaller replacement for the tandem i had. It is rather light weight compared to most twin strollers, and is one of the smaller width wise ones aswell being able to fit JUST through most standard doorways. It has a 5 point safety harness which seems not only child proof for opening but adult proof aswell! you have to squeeze both sides (top and bottom) of the clip to release it, which is brilliant especially if you have ...
...The seats are independant and lay back almost completely flat which is good if child wishes to lay down for a nap. The raincover is the best invention i have encountered on a pushchair, being one that loops over some pegs which stays put, instead of poppers or velcro which upset toddlers are able to kick off. It comes in three different colours of blue (most common), red and brown, and has an average retail price of £150 which is worth what you pay. ...
