Need help from all you Maclaren users

[princessh]

I have been doing some research on the Maclaren strollers. I am trying to decide between the Quest and Techno XT. The Babiesrus by us only had the Quest, so I could not check out the XT in person. According to the Maclaren website the only difference is that the Xt has adjustable handles and front rear suspension. Is there any other difference? Is it worth all the extra money for the suspension? I was also wondering if there was a difference between the 2004 models and the 2005 models other than fabric color and pattern? I am having a hard time deciding which one to get. I am also considering a used model that would save me some money. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

The Techno is a bit more padded and is several pounds heavier. Both are reasonable choices, but the Techno is probably overkill for a toddler. Though by your siggie, I assume that you are transporting an 11 month old in the stroller, in which case you might prefer the Techno!

Try Target - I know that they carry some of the Maclarens (don't know which ones), so you can make some more comparisons.

We purchased a 2004 Quest for our 5 year old DD this past June and we love it!! It is sooo easy to use and handles very nicely. Just don't fold the stroller up without folding up the canopy first -- luckily Maclaren replaced it.
I bought it from here -- they have free shipping on orders over $100
