    4 Stars Maclaren Techno XLR 22/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for baby to walking, wider, studier, taller but still with great manoeuvrability.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hood is a bit lightweight and can get in the way when seat is fully reclined

    I have had Maclaren buggies since my son was 6 months old. My son is now just over 3 years and I have a 10 month old daughter. My last Maclaren was the techno xt which I have just swapped for the xlr for a number of reasons: 1. The xlr is bigger so can hold either my son or daughter comfortably. It is wider so my son is not squashed in and there is a lot more headroom. Although it is wider it is still narrow enough. 2. Its weight limit is a lot higher than most lightweight buggies at well over 20kgs which once again means that I can use it for both children, plus it also fits a car seat if ... more

    5 Stars Maclaren XLR with Profi Plus Recaro car seat 02/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic travel system and buggy and car seat duo

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Maclaren XLR with Recaro profi plus car seat. Amazing buggy and amazing car seat. If you can ignore the diabolical colours Maclaren have chosen. And their diabolical marketing and sales strategy. However I am assured their service and after sales is excellent. We got a 2006 version in standard Techno grey thank god, I certainly would not push my baby around in the brown/pink or cream orange combinations. RECARO Car seat - this is a top notch car seat with the highest safety rating, actually beats the maxi cosi on safety but loses points for having a gloomy view! Daft. Its isofix base is much ... more

    3 Stars Maclaren Techno XLR-just not perfect. 13/03/2012

    Advantages Advantages Good quality materials.Looks impressive,and very comfy for baby.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Don't trust brakes,bulky when folded.

    After alot of online research I forked out £220 for the penguin/grey XLR. Loved the colour-in between red and magenta.A bit different,and i wasn't keen on the other maclaren colours. Was so excited to set up the new pushchair(more robust than a buggy in my mind). There are a few things i don't like about the XLR: *I was shocked at how big it was,especially the hood.It's much bigger than it needs to be. *The wheels are hollow plastic.so are noisy and rattley going over stoney terrain. *When folded it is not at all compact-it could be alot more compact but doesn't fold up tight enough.Makes it ... more
