Anyone have a Maclaren Techno XLR?

[connorlevismom]

I am looking at this stroller and am wondering if anyone else has one.

We have a triumph for our son and LOVE it. I am looking at the techno because it says it is from birth to 65 pounds. That eliminates having to buy another stroller.

Any opinions?

I have a Mac Triumph, Peg Perego Pliko P3 and a Mac Techno XLR. I love my XLR! It is a sweet stroller: extendable handles, wide seat, multiple recline positions, comfy seat pad, car seat compatible, nice storage bag and basket and as with all Macs, it is a dream to steer/push.

I bought this last year for my 4.5 year old, and she loved it, so this year she just turned 6, and if she needs it at Disney, it will be with us. My son loves the Triumph, but he prefers the XLR as he can stretch out more in it - he is just turning 2 next month.

I have the chocolate brown/pink stroller - very nice! I highly recommend it as it is very sturdy, and definitely will handle 65lbs.

Good luck, Tiger

I am looking to buy the Techno too! We have the Triumph and I love it, but when we have #2 I will want one that reclines fully.

I have a Twin Techno and LOVE it!!!! Sturdy, steers well, roomy enough for my 5 year old still. I use it daily with my day care babies. I love that I can use it for newborns and up. I also use it for my own two (ages 5 and 2) for long day trips and trips to Disney and I've never had a complaint. I've tried sooooo many brands of strollers (Combi, Graco, Evenflo, Peg Perego, Baby Trend Sit and Stand) and the Mac is by far my favorite- I just wish they weren't so darn pricey!

I have decided I am going to go ahead and get one since I LOVE my Mac Triumph so much. I have owned several higher end strollers as well and by far, my Mac is the best. It is so easy!

Here is my other question. What is the difference really between a 2008 model and 2009? The 2008 looks exactly the same but is $70.00 cheaper.

The only difference in the older model and the newer model is the skins are different colors and I believe the brakes are connected instead of the brake on each wheel.

Another option to look into is the baby jogger city mini it has a 50 pound weight limit but I have had no trouble w/ it and my 8yr old riding in it, it is carseat compatible, its suitable for birth and up, and the seat itself over all is much nicer. I sold my mac techno for the bjcm it truly is a one hand push even w/ the bigger kids in it and the big selling point for me is that its not as tippy as the mac from my experience.
