Maclaren Europe Limited Techno XLR Buggy > Reviews (8)

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.

This buggy has lasted well and is still 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 buggy so is to be expected.

The handles on the buggy adjust up and down but do not turn in or out which I have never found to be a problem.

The buggy comes with a raincover which unfortunately does not cover the hood of the buggy so this ends up soaked but does dry out quickly.

Its easy to clean and I have taken all the bits and put them in the wash on a hand wash 30 cycle dont know if this is actually allowed but has never harmed mine. The hood however does not detach so I clean mine with a brush and a bit of detergent.

its alot wider and taller than your average buggy so ideal for bigger children or taller parents my 3 year old still has plenty of room and I have been known to sit in it after a long walk to the park or beach!

My mother in law thinks its a bit on the heavy side which it probably is in comparision to a little umbrella buggy but I much prefer pushing it too the little ones as I dont have to hunch over and hurt my back .

I would strongly recommend this pushchair!!
