Our Stroller Review

We give this stroller a rating of 4.5 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller. Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see
what's included.

 

Travel convenience:  The Maclaren Techno XT Stroller weighs the most of all the Maclaren Single Strollers but it is still only 14.2 lbs. And the reason why it weighs the most is because it also has the most gear, that is why it is the top of the line of Maclaren Strollers.

It's a one-hand umbrella compact fold within 5 seconds and has a carry handle for easy portability to bring your baby to a park, zoo or any other places you'd enjoy the lightweight convenience! There is even an optional Maclaren - Buggy Bag to store your stroller if you need to check in your stroller as baggage on a flight, or use it to store your stroller to keep it in optimal condition. And for parents who travel a lot the Maclaren Strollers are by far the best strollers to take on a plane as a carry on.

Safety:  With a 5-point harness, it's the highest level of security for a stroller. The harness is also height adjustable as your baby grows. The front swivel wheels are lockable for a stationary position, and there's also foot operated and linked brakes.

There are only two strollers that have reflective accents at the back to ensure your safety at night. As an extra precaution you and your baby should also wear reflective wear if you plan to use your stroller during nights. The other stroller with reflective accents is the Maclaren Quest Sport Stroller.

Mobility:  The wheels have swivel capability so your stroller can turn and push with ease. It's made of sturdy, aeronautical-quality aluminum frame - so it's light for pushing. Since the Maclaren Techno XT Stroller is a compact stroller - you won't have to deal with a big bulky stroller anywhere you go.

Durability:  The Maclaren Techno XT Stroller is made of sturdy, aeronautical-quality aluminum frame. It's light and will last you a long time, provided by Maclaren's Sovereign Lifetime Warranty™. 

We all know how messy babies can get, so rest sassure that the seat is removable and is machine washable. Once it's dry just place it back onto the stroller and that is why it would last till your baby is 55 lbs!

What parents will love:  There's a few items included with your purchase of the Maclaren Techno XT Stroller that parents would admire. There's a rain cover, water resistant hood (with storage pockets) and a handy meesh shopping basket for all your neccessities. It's for newborns upto 55 lbs of weight, so this stroller will last you a long time. Most strollers on the market cannot match to that weight limit, especially umbrella strollers.

When parents are pushing a stroller all day long, they would appreciate handles that are comfortable to use. The foam insulated handles allows the parent to have comfort when pushing the stroller and that handles are placed higher compared to other umbrella strollers so taller parents don't have to hunch down to push the stroller or get the legs caught between the rear wheels.

Parents are always worrying about how their baby is doing in the stroller, with a UV protective viewing window it allows you to always check on them.  As for night time, the helpful reflective accents is the ultimate safety precaution.

What your baby will love:  There's an adjustable leg rest to fit your child as they grow along with the fully padded seats for ultimate comfort. And when the weather gets cold, they would definitely enjoy the Maclaren - Universal Footmuff. Plus the Maclaren Techno XT Stroller has the most padding compared to the rest of the other Maclaren Strollers so it deserves a higher rating for it's higher quality.

As for the seat recline, it's good to know that there are 4 positions to choose from. That is why this stroller suits a 3 month old baby rather than 6 months for the Maclaren Volo Stroller, which has no seat recline. With the extra padding of the Maclaren Techno XT  Stroller and the 4 seat recline positions, it makes this the top of the line stroller of Maclaren Strollers for it's superb comfort for your baby.

 

What we don't love so much:  We'd wish that the basic color is more than just grey (with black or silver frame) - not everyone's favorite color! But the add on color is not too shabby, but still we prefer more choice like the Bugaboo Cameleon! But everything else is quite good, it has the most features compared to the other Maclaren Strollers. Such as the UV protective viewing windows and the reflective accents for safety at night.

One safety precaution we should mention in umbrella strollers is to never hang bags on the handle of the stroller as it might fall back with your baby in it.  So get good use out of the big shopping basket underneath.

We also would like to see the capability for the seat to be reclined.  For a fraction of the price Mia Moda Strollers are not only cheaper to purchase, they also have 4-5 options in seat recline depending on which stroller you choose.

And check out why we think Peg Perego lightweight strollers outweigh Maclaren Strollers with extra features for both baby and parents.
