Maclaren strollers are driving me CRAZY!

[MayMom]

I can't seem to figure out the difference in all the models!!! There are:
Volo
Triumph
Techno XT
Techno Classic
Quest

What is the difference in all these?? - I went to the Maclaren site, but didn't find it to be much help. I know that the VOLO is the cheapest, but why? And what features do the more expensive ones have? Are they ALL umbrella fold?

Sorry, I don't really know what the differences are for each model.

The more expensive ones come with a little extra stuff like reflective material, window visor, sholder pads.... I want to say that the more expensive ones had bigger wheels, which I think is suppose to help out if you are pushing the stroller over gravel. (I could be making that up.) Also look at the different reclining postions each stroller has. Some models don't recline all the way and aren't recommended for infants.

We have a Techno XT and the Global buggy. I love them both.

Good Luck! It's a hard decision. I'd get the cheapest model that meets all your needs.

Volo...basic umbrella style, no recline, cheapest, lightest

Triumph...some recline but not as much as others

Quest...4 position recline, 3 mos and up

Techno XT...full recline, newborn + up
Techno Classic...full recline, newborn + up

The 2 Technos are the same but just have different fabric choices/looks. The Technos will also weigh the most and cost the most of these choices. Go to MaclarenBaby.com and you can view each one in more detail there. We just bought a Quest for our upcoming trip and love it. It is our first Mac but we have heard so many great things about the strollers. HTH Rebecca
