McLaren Techno Buggy

Having just booked our summer holidays we didn't want to take our son, Christopher (who will be 10 months old when we travel) abroad with the travel system we are using just now as it is very bulky and heavy, which is not practical for our visit to Florida. It was still important to us that we had a high quality, safe and convenient stroller for Christopher, we wanted a buggy which would last us a few years of functional use, as we may well decide to have more kiddies, safety and comfort along with ease of use and convenience for ourselves were all important factors and after some ... more

**Background** I have owned my Maclaren Techno Classic for nearly two years so I think I know it pretty well now. We are buddies! I bought this buggy as an alternative to my Graco travel system after doing much research.

My daughter is now 2 years old and my son is 6 months old. **Specs** The Techno weighs 17.4Ib which makes it a nice, light stroller, whilst still retaining some important features like a sun/rain canopy. It folds ... more

Maclaren Techno XT stroller – Storm At the weekend I acquired a new set of wheels, no not a new Audi convertible or Chrysler Voyager, but a Maclaren Techno XT Stroller and I LOVE IT!

The pram is bulky but is ideal for the buggy board on school runs. The tandem I use when I child ... more

Well to be honest I had tried to resist the Maclaren for as long as I could, my son is now 2 and a half years old so I thought I had managed with the pushchairs that I have had but how wrong was I a holiday booking later and here I am with my shiny XT! I was on the market for something with a decent sized seat for my quite large son (he's about the size of a 3YO), folds to a smallish size and has height adjustable handles as I am 5ft 3 and my partner is 6ft so no little tiny things for us. This ticked all the boxes as much as I hated to admit it. I had to give in and got one and so far I have ... more

I have had my New Maclaren Techno for 4 weeks(Isabelle 23/12/05) Isabelle is my 4th child and I have been through a variety of buggies and pushchairs - so I carefully researched - including this site - to make sure this time I got the right one. My criteria were, It must be... Easy to push - The maclaren is amazingly easy to push , its very light and very controllable Be comforatble for both me at 5'5 and My husband at 6' to push- I took Hubby to Mothercare to try it out before we bought it , and He wizzed round the store with it - It has handles that you can change the height of to accomodate ... more
