Advantages: Great for baby to walking, wider, studier, taller but still with great manoeuvrability. 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 ... ...and the same as any Maclaren easy to fold and therefore store.
6. It's VERY stable, I can hang a baby bag packed full off things on the back and it remains so.
7. It's very comfortable, with the padded seat cover on it my little girl loved it and snuggled in to it happily for a nap, whilst my three year old son stated that it was his, as it was so comfortable and fitted him.
8. The brakes are easy to put on and off and are very good even on buses.

Advantages: Fantastic travel system and buggy and car seat duo 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 ... ...at its highest length. MACLAREN BUGGY
Fab buggy, wins all reviews as based on Techno XT. Has head hugger, soft liner, strap wraps, apron and leg rest. Basket is big enough but inaccessible when baby lies flat. The soft liner makes collapsing the buggy harder so I never used it, bought a sheepskin liner instead. Buggy weights are a must to stop the buggy tipping over when you hang change bag over handles. (Blooming marvellous).
Excellent lie flat ...

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 ...
