Product Information

To prevent your baby from sliding out of the seat Maclaren included a head barrier and a foot mesh that you can attach at the bottom of the seat. It is easy to fold, to store to travel with and it seems as if the babies also love it. The covers are durable, easy to remove for washing, as well as beautiful. We just love the footmuffs. We like to take long walks and now in winter, it is a fantastic accessory to the stroller. In 2013, the company introduced The Maclaren Handprint ™ ? a program that is dedicated to safety and environmental sustainability in its production and advocacy, truly bringing all of the company’s core values together in a unified vision for a strong future.

The seat is very roomy and can accommodate a child from birth and up to 55 lbs. Smaller babies can stretch their little legs thanks to the adjustable leg rest. While there is no travel system option, you can use it with a carrycot for a newborn that inserts into the seat (sold separately). The Maclaren Techno XT is a flagship Maclaren stroller. It is easily manoeuvrable and has a high weight capacity. The Techno XT is one class lower than the highest Techno XLR. Compared to the XLR, the XT is lighter and has a slightly smaller seat. Although the stroller is not compatible with a car seat, thanks to the soft carrycot, Maclaren Techno XT is suitable to use from birth. It features an all-wheel suspension. The added suspension absorbs the bumps making the ride more comfortable for your child. Keep in mind, this is not the same kind of suspension you get on a jogger, but it’s better than nothing. This is one of the tallest canopies on the market! The seat can accommodate a child from birth and up to 55 lbs. The seat has an updated one-hand lever recline. The recline has 4 positions including almost a flat one suitable for a newborn.

Tall and very tall parents will love adjustable handlebars (which arevery rare in umbrella strollers) that go from 42″ up to 44″ from the ground. The fold is very easy and compact. You can even fold it with one hand if you really try. The attached carrying strap makes it convenient for transporting. It weighs 15 lbs which is an average weight for a sturdy umbrella stroller. 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. 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. 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.

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.

The fold is not all that smooth anymore either. You don’t get that sort of side to side asymmetrical wear on most modern strollers anymore. A baby’s and will certainly get looser over time. But this looseness isn’t going to make it harder to fold. And that’s an addition to the fact that it’s not going to feel loose horizontally. And even when a Maclaren does fold easily, it’s simply not the most comfortable method of folding, nor the easiest stroller to carry when it’s folded. I’d much rather fold and carry a baby then we’re on the larger end of Baby Jogger City Mini than a Maclaren, especially when what I have to then carry around is as large as a golf bag, and might very well pinch my fingers.

Then coming from the premise that it’s competition that has been eroding the position of Maclaren strollers, we must ask what it is about the design. The umbrella structure that is the heart of the company itself that seems to have trouble living up to the competitors. Either inherent flaws to the design? And if so, what are they? Well, having repaired several Maclaren’s over the years? I can say definitely that yes, there are flaws to the design. Notice the retro-reflective hubcaps on the larger wheels of the Maclaren Techno XT stroller to make you easier to see at night. The integrated head hugger and shoulder pads on the Maclaren Techno XT make your child more comfortable and safe at any age. It has two organically positioned handles covered with rubber with cool-looking metal tips. The handlebars are located 42″ from the ground which is 1″ taller than most strollers. I think the Maclaren umbrella fold pushchairs are a design classic, a real genius moment in engineering.Just look, what do you think is the better piece of engineering, the De Havilland or the Maclaren? (OK, this picture actually shows the florescent strips off well).No travel system capability. The Techno XT model is not designed for an infant car seat like the Techno XLR model. XLR model also has a higher weight capacity of 65 lbs. 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.
