My second and third grandchildren are now also riding in Maclarens. The older one is at my house now for when they are visiting. Me and my children will not buy any other stroller. I absolutely love this stroller. It is in another class than the rest of them. I am a grandmother and bought it for my first grandson, now six. It was supposed to have been used at my place when they are visiting, but my daughter loved it so much that she had sold the one they bought and used the Maclaren. The Quest is fine for a toddler (we used it from 3 months and it was fine at that age too). It reclines well, has a leg rest that you can extend and is well-made. The only thing the Techno has better than the Quest is the extending hood, which is handy to shelter your child from wind or sun. It is easy to handle, not heavy and fits anywhere - even next to the driver in the car. You can see that it is sewn from quality material - nothing is ripping anywhere, nothing hangs. And it is just very nice to look at - who wouldn't love a Maclaren, right? :)
It's a "fancy buggy". Somehow I didn't desire this stroller, I wasn't impressed by the sporty design, I prefer more elegant strollers, but a good offer came, so we tried it ;-) I had the 2015 model, bought older, after one child - I think it can handle 3-4 kids just fine. The rear wheels feature linked brakes that are easily operated by foot. Comfort is always front of mind with second hand Maclaren pushchairs. The ergonomic handles of the Techno XT are proof of this.It does have adjustable handle heights, but on the lowest setting it's still higher than the Quest making it longer when folded. The seat unit is easily adjustable with one hand and can be fully reclined. An extendable calf rest supports growing legs and a five-point harness keeps your baby safe and secure.The Techno XT is a highly impressive pushchair. The stroller has a lot of reflective elements. Advantages are the height adjustable handles and one hand (or rather foot) folding. The dimensions when folded and the weight are not quite ideal for a travel stroller and you need to measure first if it will fit in the car at all.
Your child’s safety on baby strollers is supreme. No one should cut corners and comprise it. As a parent, you always worry about it every second. You do not have to worry as much with Maclaren’s Newborn Safety System. This safety system adds covering for your infant when the seat is fully reclined. Both models have a lightweight yet rigid frame. Maclaren also added more streamlined wheels that have full-suspension on each wheel. There are single front wheels that are said to be more agile which adds to its maneuverability. These single front wheels reduce friction between the wheels and the ground for a smooth and quiet ride. Lastly, the seat cover is easily removable and washable. Despite its long history in the umbrella stroller world, the Maclaren Techno XT has not kept up with modern-day improvements. We find this stroller heavy, bulky, and difficult to maneuver compared to the competition. The canopy is the high point of this stroller, but we think that you can find that, as well as better overall performance, in some of our higher-scoring options. What Other Umbrella Strollers Should You Consider? As I said earlier, most of the full-on problems, the sort of issues requiring the placement of parts had to do with the old wheel system, and all that has now been updated. But what Maclaren seems to fail to realize, at least in my opinion, is that the whole concept of an umbrella stroller is outdated as well. Or more likely, of course, they have thought of this and chosen to try and make it a vintage sort of thing, because that design is the company flagship, the key property, and stroller manufacturers don’t like to dump their flagships. Virtually every model from bugaboo after the chameleon is better than the chameleon itself. But they keep pumping those out too. That’s their flagship. What’s a little ironic about all this is that Owen Maclaren was an innovator. I had the Quest, but it was looking a bit scruffy (absolutely nothing wrong with it, but any excuse to buy a new pram!) so I bought the Techno when DD was 18 months knowing that I wanted a third child and that sometimes it was going to be easier with a stroller than a big pram. I like a baby in a proper pram, but with 3 kids and all their stuff sometimes there just won't be room in the car boot for it! Most of the repairs I’ve done over the years have been related to the wheels mostly swivel or brake problems related to the rip your hair out awful to disassemble, dual wheel no ball bearing system they have or rather had going on. Dual wheels. I mean, come on. On strollers of this size. You really need eight separate wheels. Actually, after reading about oh and Maclaren it’s hard for me not to look at those dual wheels is coming directly from aero-plane design. Am I right? I’m actually going to lay off all of these wheel issues though because despite the fact that most other umbrella stroller manufacturers still use a dual wheel approach.
Most baby strollers in the market prioritize function over style. Others completely forget about its style altogether. Not with the full-featured strollers from Maclaren that we are going to discuss today. With a maximum baby weight capacity of 15 kilograms, this stroller accommodates a range of sizes and ages. It is designed to provide a secure and comfortable environment for your little one, allowing you to confidently navigate your daily activities.
The Maclaren Techno XT is an umbrella stroller designed for infants from birth up to 15 kg. It features a lightweight aluminum frame and four fixed or swivel wheels for easy mobility. The stroller comes with a hood cover and a rain cover. The foldable design makes it convenient for storage and transport and utilizes an umbrella fold style. The stroller has one seat and weighs 7.2 kg. The front and rear wheels are made of premium materials to ensure durability over time. The seat is shallower than the Quest, I think this must be something to do with the way it reclines almost flat (a bit further than the Quest). I'd say the Quest seat is actually better for a toddler, and there is not much at all in the width (don't confuse it with the Techno XLR which is wider, you can use a carrycot or infant carrier with that one).Constructed with an aluminum frame, this stroller is lightweight yet durable. It weighs approximately 7200 grams, ensuring ease of use and portability. Additionally, the frame material guarantees long-term reliability.
